The Z06 also gets a carbon-fibre aero package that adds a carbon fibre front splitter with aviation-style winglers, carbon fibre rocker panels and a large rear spoiler with a fixed small vertical tab at the edge of the spoiler to enhance downforce. Immediately noticeable features on the interior are the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel.

The new Z06 will be available on the market from early 2015.
