DETROIT — Chevrolet is commemorating the 65th anniversary of the Corvette with a new Corvette Carbon 65 Edition offered on 2018 Grand Sport 3LT and Z06 3LZ models.
Limited to only 650 numbered vehicles globally, the distinctive Carbon 65 blends visible carbon-fiber exterior elements — notably, a new carbon-fiber rear spoiler and quarter ducts — with a new Ceramic Matrix Gray exterior color and special interior appointments, including a new carbon-fiber-rimmed steering wheel.
“Corvette is one of the most storied names in Chevrolet and sports car history, with a heritage few can match,” said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president Chevrolet Marketing. “The new Carbon 65 Edition honors that legacy, while offering customers another unique, special-edition model that personalizes the ownership experience.”
The Carbon 65 Edition package (order code Z30) will include:
§ Available on Grand Sport 3LT and Z06 3LZ trims
§ Ceramic Matrix Gray exterior (blue top on Convertibles)
§ Unique fender stripes and door graphics
§ Black wheels with machined grooves paired with summer-only tires* (Cup-style wheels for Grand Sport and Blade-style wheels for Z06)
§ Blue brake calipers
§ Visible carbon-fiber ground effects, hood section and roof (Coupe models) or tonneau inserts (Convertible models)
§ New visible carbon-fiber spoiler (all models) and quarter intake ducts (Coupe)
§ Center caps with Carbon logo
§ Carbon Flash badges and outside mirrors
§ Jet Black suede-wrapped interior with blue stitching
§ Carbon-fiber steering wheel rim and gloss carbon-fiber interior trim
§ Competition Sport seats
§ Carbon 65 Edition sill plates
The Corvette Carbon 65 Edition package will cost $15,000 and will be available this summer, along with the rest of the 2018 Corvette lineup.
The 650 Carbon Editions were made up of 297 Grand Sports and 353 Z06s. Buyers had their choice of Coupes or Convertibles, plus their choice of 7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmissions, as well as the option of adding the Z07 performance package. Alternatively, buyers could also select just the free-flow J57 Brembo Carbon Ceramic Brakes option which could be added without the full-blown Z07 package.
Of the 650 Carbon 65s produced, Chevrolet would export 150 with Europe receiving 127 followed by Canada (49), Middle East (17), Mexico (12) and Japan (8).
This car was one of the 49 exported to Canada and one of approx. 10 that had the rare Z07 Option W/Ceramic Brakes
