Engine Versions
In 2016, Chevrolet offered two engine versions for the Corvette: the standard 6.2-liter V8 and the optional Z06 model equipped with a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine. The Z06 variant produces a staggering 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, enabling blistering acceleration and track-ready performance. Both engine options deliver exhilarating power delivery and a thrilling exhaust note that is sure to excite enthusiasts.

The key differences between these two models lie in their design, performance specs, and technological advancements. The C7 Corvette featured a more aggressive exterior design, improved aerodynamics, and a more refined interior compared to the C6 model. Additionally, the C7 introduced advanced performance features such as Magnetic Ride Control suspension and a new eight-speed automatic transmission, enhancing the driving experience significantly.
In conclusion, the 2016 Chevrolet Corvette represents the pinnacle of American sports car engineering, combining raw power, precision handling, and striking design in a package that continues to captivate automotive enthusiasts around the world.

The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
