    Chevrolet C8 Corvette Z06 To Get High-Revving Flat-Plane Crank V8

    The Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray offers a lot of bang for your buck since it starts at $58,900 (in the US of A) and that is thanks to the 6.2-litre V8 developing 490 hp (365 kW).

    Chevy claims a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time of 2.9 seconds but apparently it is marginally quicker than the claim and is even able to keep up with the mighty Porsche 911 GT3 RS around a race track.

    So what should we expect from the even angrier Z06?

    Well according to Car and Driver, the C8 Corvette Z06 will receive a naturally-aspirated DOHC 32-valve 5.5-litre V8. Yes, that’s the same powerplant as the Corvette C8.R race car. It will also have a flat-plane crank like a Ferrari V8 and rev between 8,500 and 9,000 rpm, so it should sound sensational.

    Performance-wise, the new Z06 is actually being benchmarked against beasts like the Porsche 911 GT2 RS so we should see a 0 to 100 km/h sprint time executed in around 2.7 seconds.

This indicates that the owner has a Mercedes-AMG One hypercar on order. Let's hope it makes its way to SA!

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?
