Chevrolet Unveils 12-Car 2026 Corvette Z06 Bathurst Edition for Australia and New Zealand

Overview

• Only 12 examples will be offered across Australia and New Zealand, each individually numbered and designated as the exclusive local path to a 2026 Z06.
• The edition is based on the Z06 3LZ coupe with the Z07 package standard, adding magnetic dampers, Brembo carbon‑ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres and carbon‑fibre aero.
• Power comes from the 5.5‑litre LT6 flat‑plane V8 rated at about 475 kW and 595 Nm, with a claimed sub‑3.0‑second 0–100 km/h time.
• All cars wear Switchblade Silver with a carbon‑fibre roof, black forged wheels with Corvette Racing centre caps, Mount Panorama decals and Bathurst 12 Hour build plates, plus a Jet Black and Santorini Blue Nappa leather cabin with Competition seats.
• Pricing has not been announced, though it is expected to exceed the Z06 coupe’s $336,000 before on‑road costs, with deliveries slated for later in 2026 as Corvette Z06 GT3.Rs make their Bathurst 12 Hour debut this weekend with a two‑car JMR entry.
