2011 Chevrolet Corvette – Z06 Carbon Special Edition

This 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Special Edition represents one of the most collectible and track-focused iterations of the legendary C6 generation. As 1 of only 252 examples produced, this limited-production model commemorates the 50th anniversary of Corvette's first entry in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Provenance & Condition:

8,500 original miles – exceptionally low for a 2011 model

Single owner since 2012 – a decade of consistent, documented care

6-speed manual transmission – the purist's choice for driver engagement

Clean Carfax – no accidents or damage reported

Performance Heritage:

At its heart lies the hand-assembled 7.0L LS7 V8, rated at 505 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated powerplant features a dry-sump oiling system, titanium connecting rods, and a 7,000-rpm redline—engineering bred from Corvette Racing's endurance program.

The Carbon Special Edition effectively bridged the gap between the standard Z06 and the supercharged ZR1, borrowing the latter's performance hardware while retaining the Z06's lighter, more balanced naturally aspirated character.

Z07 Performance Package:

Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes with silver calipers

Magnetic Selective Ride Control

Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires

19"/20" staggered multi-spoke wheels in competition gray

CFZ Carbon Fiber Package & Special Edition Features:

Raised carbon fiber hood (the lightest ever fitted to a Corvette)

Carbon fiber front splitter and rocker panels

ZR1-style full-width rear spoiler

Black wheels, mirrors, and headlamp housings

Leather and suede interior with body-color stitching

3LZ Premium Equipment Group (heated seats, Bose audio, head-up display)

Collector Significance:

Originally announced with a planned production of 500 units, Chevrolet ultimately built just 252 examples—making this an even rarer proposition than initially intended. Of those, only 185 were finished in Supersonic Blue Metallic, the color this example wears. The Carbon Edition is widely regarded as the definitive C6 Z06: a lighter, sharper, naturally aspirated alternative to the ZR1, purpose-built for the enthusiast who prioritizes chassis balance and driver involvement.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage, one-owner Carbon Special Edition that delivers near-ZR1 performance with the purity of a manual transmission and a high-revving V8.
