What makes this one special
This 2018 Corvette Z06 arrives in a spec that demands attention: Admiral Blue Metallic over Jet Black perforated Mulan leather, with the factory transparent targa roof panel that transforms the driving experience at the pull of a latch. It's the best of both worlds—coupe rigidity and open-air drama—wrapped in one of the C7 generation's most striking color combinations.
Under the hood sits the supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V8, backed by the eight-speed paddle-shift automatic and Magnetic Ride Control suspension. The Z06-specific hardware continues with 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, Brembo brakes, and the performance exhaust system that ensures this Corvette sounds as good as it looks. Inside, carbon fiber accents, heated and ventilated seats, a head-up display, Bose premium audio, and Chevrolet MyLink with navigation complete the package, while the Performance Data Recorder lets you relive every corner on track day.
With just 4,039 miles, this Z06 has been carefully enjoyed and is ready for its next chapter—whether that's weekend canyon runs, track events, or simply turning heads on the street.
The model history
The Story of the C7 Z06
When Chevrolet introduced the seventh-generation Corvette Z06 for the 2015 model year, it represented a quantum leap in American performance engineering. At its heart was the all-new LT4 V8—a supercharged, 6.2-liter masterpiece producing 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production car General Motors had ever built at the time. Unlike the naturally aspirated Z06 that preceded it, the C7 Z06 embraced forced induction to deliver crushing acceleration and track capability that rivaled exotic mid-engine supercars at a fraction of the price.
The Z06 package wasn't just about the engine. Chevrolet equipped it with aggressive aerodynamics, including a wider body, larger air intakes, and available aero kits that generated genuine downforce. Magnetic Ride Control, a sophisticated damping system co-developed with Delphi, allowed the car to transition seamlessly from compliant daily driver to track weapon at the touch of a button. Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes were available for those who demanded the ultimate stopping power, and the Performance Data Recorder turned the car into a mobile telemetry suite.
The C7 Z06 earned widespread acclaim from the automotive press and enthusiasts alike for its ability to deliver supercar performance with everyday usability. It could lap circuits faster than cars costing twice as much, yet you could still drive it to work on Monday morning. The combination of raw power, sophisticated electronics, and accessible pricing cemented the C7 Z06's place as one of the greatest performance bargains of the modern era.
By the time production wrapped in 2019 to make way for the mid-engine C8 generation, the C7 Z06 had become an instant collectible—the final front-engine Z06, and a high-water mark for traditional American muscle meeting cutting-edge technology.
Fun fact
The C7 Z06's LT4 engine shares its supercharger design with the Eaton TVS (Twin Vortices Series) rotor assembly, which spins at up to 20,000 RPM to deliver instant, lag-free boost across the entire powerband.
The C7 Z06 stands as a bridge between Corvette's storied front-engine heritage and its mid-engine future—a car that proved American performance could run with the world's best while remaining approachable, usable, and unmistakably Corvette. This low-mileage, beautifully optioned example is a chance to own that legacy in its finest form.
