Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 reaches 313 km/h on German Autobahn; Canadian dealer promotes 2018 Corvette

A performance test by AutoTopNL on Germany’s unrestricted Autobahn recorded the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06 achieving a top speed of 313 km/h (194 mph). The European‑spec model, equipped with a 5.5‑liter LT6 flat‑plane‑crank V8, produced 636 hp due to emissions filters, and completed the 0‑100 km/h sprint in about 3.5 seconds. The test highlighted the car’s mid‑engine balance, magnetic ride control, and Brembo brakes, confirming its high‑speed stability despite a modest power reduction from the U.S. version.

In Listowel, Ontario, the Larry Hudson Group advertised a 2018 Chevrolet Corvette featuring a 6.2 L V8 Turbo Supercharged engine, eight‑speed paddle‑shift automatic transmission, and a suite of luxury amenities such as a heads‑up display, dual‑zone climate control, and Bose audio. The dealer emphasized a free CarFax report, trade‑in offers, and on‑site services including remote start and Wi‑Fi hotspot, positioning the vehicle as a premium used‑car option for Canadian buyers.
