It didn’t take long and now images of what is believed to be
the first 2015 Chevrolet Camaro Z06 crash have emerged. This particular crash
involved the brand new Z06 Convertible.
The crash took place on the I-94 highway in Michigan on the
weekend and was triggered by the driver of the Corvette losing control on the
slippery and wet roads. The Z06 Convertible then managed to take out another
car before sliding across the road and the grass median strip into the
protective wire barriers.
As the images show, this particular 2015 Chevrolet Corvette
Z06 Convertible wasn’t a customer vehicle and instead rolling on manufacturer
license plates. Additionally, it has been fitted with the Z07 Performance
Package and according to eye witnesses, the grippy Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2
tyres were reportedly almost bald.
The rear of the Corvette took the brunt of the impact with
the steel crash barrier tearing through the bodywork and completely destroying
the rear decklid, rear fascia, wing and taillights.
No injuries are being reported.
In case you forgot, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible
is mechanically identical to the latest-generation Z06 coupe. As a result, it
features the same supercharged V8 engine delivering 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of
torque.
