First 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition Heads to Barrett-Jackson

The first 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition coupe will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach on April 3.  It is one of only 500 to be produced.

The first of 500 retail 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition coupes will go to the highest bidder at Barrett-Jackson in Palm Beach, Fla., on April 3.

The winning bidder will also be given the unique opportunity to tour GM’s Performance Build Center in Wixom, Mich., home of the hand-built LS7 and LS9 engines found in the Z06 and ZR1 respectively. The winner will also have the opportunity to watch the car going down the line at the famed Corvette Assembly Plant in Bowling Green, Ky.

“The Corvette Z06 Carbon will surely be an instant collectible,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. Vice President, Chevrolet Marketing. “For that reason, we see Barrett-Jackson as the premiere venue to sell the first retail Z06 Carbon.”

The Corvette Z06 Carbon was designed as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Corvette’s first race in the 24 Hours of LeMans. As such, it continues the technology transfer between the production Corvette and racing.

Corvette C8 News

There has been some talk about the future possibility of a Corvette C8, and some of the specifics one might expect on it:

The Corvette C8 is still a ways off, but a new report claims to have the goods on the future sports car. While GM’s piggy bank was a little too shallow to foot the bill for a mid-engine C7 Corvette, the 8th iteration of America’s sports car will reported make the transition.


As if the shift to mid-engine wasn’t enough, the C8 will allegedly ditch the Corvette’s traditional V8 in favor of a more fuel-efficient twin-turbo V6. While the switch to a V6 powerplant will probably mark the end of high-horsepower Corvette models, it doesn’t mean the Vette will go soft. The C8 is slated to shrink in size in weight, meaning performance should be equal to – if not better – than today’s car.

GM Previews New Windshield Technology

GM, pioneers of HUD, have been working with several universities to create a new head-up display (HUD) designed to superimpose the windshield with informational graphics.  This new technology is called enhanced vision system.  According to an article on Left Lane:

Using an array of vehicle sensors and cameras, the new system can detect edge road lines in foggy conditions and then display the edge lines on the vehicle’s entire windshield via transparent phosphors and compact lasers. If visibility is further reduced by rain, snow or other conditions, the system can be paired with nigh vision, essentially transforming the entire windshield into an enhanced display.
