2016 Corvette Z07 rendering
Now that the first batch of 2014 Corvette Stingrays have been shipped to US dealerships, we’re looking forward for Chevrolet to reveal a successor to the Z06 based on the seventh-generation sportscar.
Little is known about the next-gen Z06, but rumor has it the range-topping Vette is scheduled to arrive for the 2016 model year wearing a Z07 badge. Updates will include a sportier suspension, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and Michelin tires, while the tweaked V8 engine is expected to deliver 600 HP via a Tremec TR-6070 seven-speed manual.

As far as design enhancements are concerned, the Z07 is still far from being unveiled (could happen at the 2015 Detroit Auto Show), but our friends over at Top Speed have created a rendering of the vehicle by adding a carbon-fiber front splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler, black wheels, new blacked-out grille, a vent in front of the rear wheels and "Z07" badges.

Could this really be the Z07? If so, we’re more than anxious to see it in action!
