GENEVA, Switzerland - Chevrolet has presented its most track-capable Corvette yet, the Z06, at the 2015 Geneva auto show.

The all new Corvette is the most powerful production car yet from General Motors, the company says, with more than 445kW. With the available Z07 package, the supercar accelerates from 0-100km in 3.4sec with the eight-speed automatic and in 3.8 with the seven-speed manual transmission.
