A Bathurst celebration is coming to Chevrolet's most expensive supercar sold in Australia, as a racing version debuts at Mount Panorama
The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Bathurst 12 Hour Specialty Edition has been revealed, to coincide with the debut of the Corvette Z06 GT3.R at the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race this weekend.
Limited to 12 cars for Australia and New Zealand, this is the only opportunity for customers to get their hands on a model year 2026 (MY26) Corvette ZO6 locally after it was absent from the initial range last year.
Given that it includes the previously optional Z07 performance package as standard equipment, it is expected to cost more than the MY25 Corvette Z06 at $336,000 before on roads, with an arrival date yet to be confirmed.
The Bathurst 12 Hour Specialty Edition will see the track-focused Z06 3LZ Coupe take on visual changes for the exterior and the interior of the supercar.
An exclusive Switchblade Silver paint option will feature on the exterior, as well as a carbon-fibre roof, 20-inch front and 21-inch rear Black forged aluminium wheels, and Corvette Racing centre caps.
Blue brake calipers, C8.R graphics package, an Engine lighting and Appearance Package, Carbon Flash exterior badges, trim, and mirrors, and an Exclusive Bathurst 12 Hour track decal are also included.
The Z07 performance package brings adaptive suspension, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, a carbon-fibre aero package with a high wing spoiler and dive planes.
Inside the Bathurst 12 Hour Specialty Edition includes Jet Black and Santorini Blue nappa leather, Competition seats, blue seatbelts, and Stealth and carbon-fibre interior trims.
Each car will receive a unique Bathurst 12 Hour Edition build plate, numbered 01 to 12.
To further differentiate the Bathurst 12 Hour edition, there will be a Mount Panorama track outline decal on the rear wheel arches as well as build plates on the inner door jambs.
Customers will also receive a Bathurst 12 Hour Edition custom artwork print, an indoor car cover with a graphic of the Corvette GT3.R, the car it pays homage to, and a Corvette Racing merchandise pack, including a cap, polo, and jacket.
The 2026 Bathurst 12 Hour race will take place this Sunday, February 15.
