The Cleveland Auto Show will get a rare world vehicle debut next week.
The 427 Limited Edition Z06 Corvette plays on the classic sports car's heritage, using styling cues last seen on the late 1960s stingray models. The 427 name refers to the LS7 engine, a 427-cubic-inch beast that's hand-made in Michigan.
Recognizing the tie-in of the original 427 engine and the LS7's 427-inch displacement has been on the Corvette team's mind since the Z06 was introduced" in 2006
The base Z06 is Chevy's fastest production vehicle. The massive engine produces 505 horse power and can go from 0-to-60 miles per hour in 3.6 seconds.
GM expects to launch an even faster, ZR1 edition this summer. Also to be shown in Cleveland, the ZR1 produces 620 horsepower. It made its debut in Detroit last month.
