We Render The 2023 C8 Corvette Z06 In 10 Different Colors
Sponsored Links
After taking a closer look at the exterior design of the 2023 Corvette Z06 – courtesy of the first official photo – the staff around GM Authority offices began began to wonder what the new track machine might look like in different colors. So we’ve rendered the 2023 Corvette C8 Z06 in 10 different colors including some from the C8’s existing color palette as well as new additions.
Torch Red
Amplify Orange
Accelerate Yellow Metallic
Nature Green Metallic
Rapid Blue
Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic
Galactic Blue
Track Black
Zeus Bronze Metallic
Stellar White Tricoat
While the C8 Corvette Z06 appears to look good in just about every color, this writer finds Nature Green, Galactic Blue, and Zeus Bronze Metallic most compelling. For reference, below are the actual exterior color options available for the 2022 Chevy Corvette Stingray:
- Caffeine Metallic
- Arctic White
- Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic
- Hypersonic Gray Metallic
- Amplify Orange Metallic
- Accelerate Yellow Metallic
- Torch Red
- Rapid Blue
- Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat
- Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic
- Silver Flare Metallic
Notably, the model in these images is not equipped with the optional Z07 Performance Package, which will add a massive rear wing that GM Authority was the first to report on back in January of 2020, along with other go-fast goodies like a front splitter with dive planes, stickier summer rubber and lighter wheels.
We’ll probably have to wait until the official debut on October 26th to see a Z07-equipped Corvette Z06 without any camouflage on it. As a reminder, here’s the original image of the C8 Z06 in Silver Flare Metallic shared by Chevy.
Aside from its enhanced exterior, the 2023 Chevy C8 Corvette Z06 will of course offer enhanced performance, starting with the high-revving, naturally-aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 with a DOHC configuration and a flat-plane crank. Output is expected to land around 615 horsepower and close to 500 pound-feet of torque. The power will be routed through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
The 2023 Corvette Z06 will be built alongside the standard Corvette C8 Stingray at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky. Details on pricing, availability and options will be disclosed following its debut on October 26th.
The go-faster C8 debuts October 26 at 12 p.m. That’s right – the C8 Z06 will be offered as a droptop.Z06 News

This thing is ugly.
Boomerang vent has totally ruined the great look of the car PLEASE GET RID OF IT . Ridiculously Ugly.
Although models like those are not welcome at home, my wife chose green and I brown ! but in silver seems ok
in red is a Ferrari
The Boomerang is just plain UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don’t see pictures of other Super Cars with all of that UGLY BLACK ACCENTS all over them.
One of those guys that probably “don’t like the back lights”
Keep your Camry SE that’s much nicer
It’s funny how defensive these guys who don’t even own a corvette get when someone says they don’t like. You would think these people helped design it or something.
The Camry is nicer that would you drive.
well if you don’t like don’t buy it. i am sure they have no problem selling them.
No $hit you don’t say? Wow Kenneth what would make you think of that? It’s an article that people are leaving and at the bottom people comment I get this is confusing for you but that’s how forums work.
Torch Red is the way to go !!!!
No the word torch is only for the bolt
Just 23 days to go until the real reveal.
Car is outstanding, only one thing missing. A manual transmission!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not really crazy about having a “Wishbone” instead of the “Boomerang” around the side intakes, aside from that I like everything about the new ZO6! I would have liked to be able to see the actual car in the colors offered for 2020. I ordered mine in Accelerate Yellow with only my imagination of what this new color for 2020 “may” look like. I was so happy with the choice once I seen my C8 when delivered, just Plumb Tickled to Death with it now! 👍😁
As in almost any new vehicle revealing, pictures will not do the vehicle any justice…you have to see the vehicle in person, and in various colors and wheel and trim packages before you can pass judgement. In particular, this rendition of the new Z06 has taken it’s share of hits, and deservedly so!
It has obviously been “placed” in this particular picture to show it as the person who had the job to do this, saw this as being just the right color, optioned and shown to bring a positive spin on the newest model of C8 Corvette.
But….in my humble opinion, somebody blew it! Will this deter any of us Corvette owners or Corvette enthusiast from waiting penitently until the “real deal” comes out and hits the social news media like a wild Class 5 Storm, uh…no!
That said, just be patient and you’ll see this new Z06 in proper guise will be a “force to be reckoned with”, it’ll charm the daylights out of some folks, excite others and when properly optioned, scare the living daylights out of it’s competitors!
Totally hate the side Boomerang.
I have a deposit on one and going to do the Boomerang in the paint color i choose.
What were they thinking on that one 🤦♂️
Are some of the big dealers taking deposits already?
No. Not yet. Only reservations and wait lists.
Like you would know. You can’t even afford one. We’re talking about the real car not the preorder for your hot wheels version.
OK looking car but the design will mature then when it peeks (best design) they’ll design another one for another sucker punch.
The Lamborghini aventador svj has the same boomerang side vent yet people don’t get bothered about that. I’m sure you can get the boomerang styling in body color in after market.
Yup I agree. And people could always get it wrapped if they wanted
Its not the same. The vent is much wider in the Lambo. The design does not go all the way to include the door. The posterior of the design slants in a downward angle in the lambo. Big differences that are making the C8 Z06 not look as good
For me the most beautifull Corvetes we’re the C5 and C6 period. The new C8 just looks like a toy car somewhere made in Asia and are far away from the beauty it was once in the C5 and C6.
No way, C2 is the best followed by the C1.
Very subjective assessing which generation has best styling. Everyone has their own preferences and that’s ok. All of them have great style in their own era, and each version can be appreciated.
I’ll take a Nature Green Metallic Convertible with a two tone natural dipped/black combo and bronze wheels .Hopefully Chevrolet will offer green as a color option on the C8. Just my two cents.
You can’t afford it anyways so it don’t matter what you would take. Just wait for the hot wheels version that is more along your price range.
🤦🏻♂️They couldn’t have picked and uglier green
COME ON YOU GUYS
Forrest Green Metallic or Blue Green Metallic
Your list of color options available for the 2022 corvette left off Black.. unless you don’t consider it a color.
