Chevy’s 2023 Corvette Z06 marks the next chapter in the nameplate’s mid-engine narrative, ushering in a slew of next-generation components designed to achieve the greatest performance in the history of this beloved sports car. A high-revving, 5.5-liter, flat-plane crank LT6 V8 with an exotic bark, optional carbon fiber wheels, and aerodynamics upgrades for the optional Z07 package capable of generating as much as 734 pounds of downforce at 186 miles per hour in the all-new C8 Z06. In addition to staggering performance, the C8 Z06 also offers the most personalization choices in the Corvette lineup, including 12 exterior color options and 7 interior colorways.
We previously rendered the eight-generation Z06 in different colors, and now we have preliminary images of the sports coupe in its actual color palette. Without further ado, here are the 2023 Corvette Z06 exterior colors.
Torch Red
Black
Elkhart Lake Blue
Arctic White

Availability between exterior and interior colors has not yet been confirmed, though the visualizer allows us to pair any exterior color option with any interior colorway. Notably, the Adrenaline Red Dipped is an all-new color combination that may be specific to the Z06 model.
Moreover, pricing for the color options has not yet been announced, nor has the actual C8 Z06 price. To that end, our recent poll shows that the majority of readers expect the starting price of the 2023 Corvette Z06 to fall in the $85,000 – $89,999 range.
As we already know, the 2023 Corvette Z06 is powered by the all-new 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, which features dual overhead camshafts and a flat-plane crankshaft. This engine makes an impressive 670 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, making it the most potent naturally aspirated V8 engine ever installed in a production vehicle.
The result is a 0-60 time of 2.6 seconds, while the aerodynamics upgrades as part of the optional Z07 package are capable of generating as much as 734 pounds of downforce at 186 miles per hour.

Not gonna lie… I was really hoping for a couple of new & more exotic colors for the Z06.
The colors looks better than the car GM is putting the on
Maybe there is a kit car in your future.
I totally agree and also would love to see Black Rose Metallic return.
My 2021 leeks oil at 24 miles common problem

Yeah…how about GM’s version of Lizard Green? If Corvette really wants to compete with the big boys…and they are certainly doing well with the Z06…how about taking notice of Lamborghini and McLaren color options…if you are going to offer carbon fiber and likely charge for it…offer some outrageous colors like purple and greens and charge extra for it. Lets get some exotic looking Corvettes out there to look interesting parked next to those Lambos and McLarens that are double and triple the price.
GM’s making z06 to crush the Lamborghini and Porsches so the colors don’t mean sh$!
Maybe beige is in your future…but plan on keeping it as no one will want it.
YES ! I agree. Corvette needs exotic colours , not the same ol ones , black blue and gray.
Colors mean nothing if you can’t order one. GM should worry more about getting the chips than what the color is.
Where the uckf is my comment?
What do you mean? Did you write something and now it’s gone?
Such a crappy car I can’t believe some of the nuthuggers on here actually compared this to a Ferrari what a bunch of idiots
Hmm, you’re right, we should be comparing it with the real-deal performance makes like McLaren and Porsche.
amen!
And you are driving what? How about taking that Ferrari that you can buy new for say $135,000 and compare it performance wise to a Z06 at the same price. Oh wait, you need to triple the price to get equal performance and options.
The Z06 is such a gorgeous car that it enhances any color, not the other way around.
But if I am ordering one, any shade of red, blue and black will do for me. But in all fairness, I tend to go with darker hue of colors.
Nice to see the color choices laid out like that. Picking one would be an agonizing decision but I’d probably go with Torch Red.
too bad they dropped the Morello Red interior
Just get Adrenalin Red and let is get dirty.
Do you tink they will offer the Adreniline Red Dipped in the Stingray? Hope so!
do not understand why car companies does not make cars in greens … miss the greens #00ff00
for me the best for this GM Ferrari is :
1. Caffeine Brown
2. Rapid Blue
but as said, do not care for cars in this shape, do not care for Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Lotus, and all those in equal this form, For me a car must be Sedan with 4 Doors. If Rolls Royce were still good in Style, it would be my preference, unfortunate it is not anymore … As there is none good car in Market with good design good price, automatic and a Wow factor with flexi motor E85, keep mine for more 40 years ! Do not care for electrics
Green is a “fairy” color. Green is for grass…not cars!
A lot of Porsche, McLaren and Lamborghini owners would disagree with you. But will you ever own any of these?
I have a Snake skin green viper , the nicest looking car with tons of looks / likes!
caffeine with yellow racing stripes for me.
… wouldn’t it be better caffeine with beige stripes ? and of course all those carbon fiber black thing and wheels ‘shinning chrome’ > seats beige leather with brown details
Brown on an exotic? Save that for your SUV. You want to eventually resell it…right.
I think I’ll pass on re-sale red.
Alfa’s 2020 Montreal Green would look great
yep
With The Way G.M. & The Dealerships Have The System Set…Your Not Going To Get One Anytime Soon..Anyway…Remember You Use To Walk Into A Dealership Order A New One And Have it In Six to Eight Weeks…Took Me 20 Months To Get My 2021 And I Was Low On The List At My Dealership….That’s The Way G.M. Wants It, That Way They Sell Every Car Built….With The Orders They Have, They Need To Up Production…And Accommodate All Customers.
What kind of a pain in the ass is it to start every single word with a capital letter? Whatever Boomer point you were trying to make was lost.. sorry.
So why can’t some of these colors be available on the other vehicles that GM produces? They would be a good replacement for the usual shades of gray.
To Josh, you’re pathetic for making such a dumb ass statement. The Corvette offers a ton of value in comparison to those overprice European so-call exotics.
You know what! The new Lamborghini Countach is an ugly F…king car, but you eagle eyed critics didn’t criticized the rear or it’s overall profile for a car costing 2 million with just 800 bhp. Wow!
So true Val. Personally I can’t respect a car that doesn’t get involved in any race programs to show its complete performance spectrum, and wanting to charge exuberant amounts of money for their products ie; Lamborghini..
Watkins Glen Grey Metalic is what is missing . Why do the they discontinue an icon ?
Hey, they got rid of bright silver as well.
I would have liked to have seen Glen Metallic Green with a natural leather-colored interior.
