Chevrolet Debuts Corvette Z06 At SEMA Alongside The Beast And Hot Rod Magazine’s Project X

A number of eye-catching Chevrolet models are currently being displayed at the SEMA Show, including the new Corvette Z06 which is making its public debut at the event.

Chevy lifted the veil on the long-awaited C8 Corvette Z06 last week and it has already generated a whole bunch of headlines. Enthusiasts are clearly excited by it and by displaying it in both Coupe and Convertible guises, the automaker will inevitably be able to secure even more orders for the car. The examples put on display include a bright orange Z06 Convertible with the available Z07 Performance Package and a slightly more restrained silver Coupe without the Z07 pack.

Another showstopper introduced by Chevy at SEMA is the latest version of Hot Rod Magazine’s Project X. The magazine has owned this 1957 Chevrolet since 1965 and in its latest guise has been equipped with an electric motor producing 340 hp and 330 lb-ft (447 Nm) of torque. It also has a 400-volt lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 30 kWh. Chevrolet hopes to eventually sell this electric motor and battery as a package for those looking to do drivetrain swaps.

The car manufacturer also chose SEMA as the place to showcase a wild off-road concept it dubs ‘The Beast.’ This crazy off-roader is based on the Silverado but now has a shorter frame, a 4130 chromoly tubular safety structure, a wider track, and unique body panels. It is also powered by a 6.2-liter supercharged LT4 V8 muscling out 650 hp.
