2011 Chevrolet Corvette ZO6X

Transforming a Corvette, a mainstay in the racing arena, into a somber closed-course track car is possible with a modification of components and new ideas as suggested by Chevrolet Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept.

Chevy partnered with Pratt and Miller to create this car concept which shows how a car aficionado can upgrade and use Chevrolet’s expanding collection of parts to create a top-grade track car.

The new Chevy Corvette Z06X Track Car Concept shows off competition-oriented enhancements which include a rear wing made of carbon fiber, a roll cage, racing seat, racing wheels, safety harness, and a rear window made of polycarbonate. There are also suspension enhancements like the coil-over support with adjustable arc plates. Meanwhile, sound-deadening material, carpeting, and the radio were removed.

The Z06X Track Car Concept is clad in a low-gloss Icy White Metallic color accented with a scarlet trim and an exposed body component made of carbon fiber.

2011 Chevrolet Corvette Jake Edition

What started to be a discreet logo is now a new concept vehicle. Jake, a skull mascot that was used in 2005 to symbolize the Corvette Racing team’s determined attitude, has become an embodiment of the team’s tenacity and triumphs. Now, Chevy introduces the Corvette Jake Edition concept in celebration of the Corvette’s spirit for racing.

This grand sport coupe has Z06 wheel finished with Competition Gray. The Corvette Jake Edition displays a subtle appearance with its matte Jake hood design while the rest of the accessories complete its unique look.

The parts added to this coupe are mostly genuine Corvette accessories like the hood graphic and wheels and are available today at any Chevrolet parts dealer. But some parts like the floor mats designed with Jake-logo, wheel center caps, and console lid among others, are yet to be available. These parts, however, are planned to be released in the future.
