The 2023 Corvette Z06 packs some serious firepower right out of the box, besting a range of high-end supercars with significantly larger price tags. Not only that, but the new C8 Corvette Z06 looks good as well, with 12 total exterior paint options on offer. Now, we’re checking out what these exterior paint options look like out in the real world.
We’ve already seen the 2023 Corvette Z06 in all 12 of the available exterior paint options via the official online visualizer. That said, the hues look significantly different when observed in the natural light of the real world, and thus, it makes sense to compile images of these colors as we have here.
So then, with that covered, here’s all 12 of the 2023 Corvette Z06 colors as seen in the real world:
Hypersonic Gray Metallic
Amplify Orange Tintcoat
Caffeine Metallic
Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat
Torch Red
Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic
Silver Flare Metallic
Black
Arctic White
Ceramic Matrix Gray Metallic
Accelerate Yellow Metallic
Rapid Blue
In addition to the 12 exterior colors listed above, the 2023 Corvette Z06 is also available in seven different interior colorways, including:
- Jet Black
- Sky Cool Gray
- Adrenaline Red
- Adrenaline Red Dipped
- Natural
- Natural Dipped
- Two-Tone Blue
With a widebody stance and hard, chiseled lines, the 2023 Corvette Z06 looks quite striking. That said, further visual punch can be added with the aerodynamic upgrades available in conjunction with the optional Z07 Performance Package, which adds in carbon fiber components like a larger front splitter, front-corner dive planes, a large rear wing, and an underbody strake, not to mention the option to upgrade to carbon fiber wheels. The Z07 Performance Package also tosses in larger carbon ceramic brakes, stickier Michelin rubber, and unique FE7 suspension.
As for the power spec, all 2023 Corvette Z06 models feature the naturally aspirated 5.5L V8 LT6 gasoline engine, while under the skin, the mid-engine sports car rides on the GM Y2 platform. Production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

I LOVE the accelerate yellow!
Especially with the black top!
The Red Mist for the extra $995 is fantastic. It was a toss up between Red Mist and Hypersonic Grey. I went for the Red Mist on my 2023 purchase. There are no bad colors just some you might like better than others. Go GM.
Now if they would only get RID of the ugly BLACK REARVIEW MIRRORS & SPEARKS, ETC. and paint everything body color it would stop looking like a RICE BURNER car.
Then pick the body color option. Done deal!
I have a 22-torch red coupe I spent $995 for the exterior color accents option and $100 for chrome emblems because I wanted it to look more like a Ferrari and it does. I have had so many people look at my car that didn’t like the C8 and say your car looks different I really like it then I walk them around the car and show them the difference And I have red mirrors. The C7 was the first to have black accents that I never liked.
Can’t agree more, our C7 has the BLACK accents and just think they are UGLY. Considered having a shop paint them Arctic White like the rest of the car but the price is high.
What about the two 70th Anniversary edition colors?
Nice Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic with hint of road salt.
Why show a picture of a dirty Elkhart Lake blue Vette? Who edits this thing amateurs?
I’ve never seen torch red look like pink!
… sorry, still butt-ugly.
Nothing beats a black car, but it does need chrome wheels.
Still no green! What is Chevy afraid of? Blue yellow = green! Do you think green won’t sell, Mr. Bean Counter? Maybe try making an EXCITING shade, instead of boring! Take the 91 Camaro for instance. Dark Teal was the MOST POPULAR color option for the year! Geez!
Like previous commentary, and being an owner of a Blue C-6 Z-06, it really burned my golf balls seeing all images of the Blue version being with a dirty car! Even vette owner biden is saying ‘Come’on man!’
Sometimes I long for the Z07 when looking at these “Ferraris”.
