350 km. Inferno Orange. Carbon Special Edition #186 of 252—this 2011 Z06 is Le Mans-bred Corvette history, preserved like a museum piece!
Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon Special Edition showing just 350 kilometers on the odometer at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Inferno Orange Metallic over an Ebony leather and microsuede interior, this limited-production C6 is offered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia with an inspection report, two keys, and owner’s manuals.
First held in 1923, the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans is reputed as the oldest endurance racing event in the world. Chevrolet entered the event in June 1960, when Briggs Cunningham piloted a Corvette to a first-place win in its class. In commemoration of the 50th anniversary of that successful feat, Chevrolet’s engineers crafted a limited-production sixth-generation Corvette that would be distinctive, lightweight, and fast. Thanks to the use of carbon fiber architecture, the car weighed less than a contemporary Z06 while optimizing perfect 50/50 weight distribution. The car was dubbed the Carbon Special Edition.
This C6 is serialized as number 186 of the 252 total Carbon Special Editions ever manufactured. Making it even more exclusive, it was one of just 86 produced in striking Inferno Orange Metallic and only one of 11 with the 1LZ equipment group. The car shows only 350 kilometers on the odometer, making it a collector-grade example that has been painstakingly preserved over the last 15 years. It comes equipped with features like staggered Carbon Edition-specific wheels, a carbon fiber raised hood, a ZR1-style a body-colored spoiler, blacked-out headlamp bezels, Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension, and aluminum pedals.
The car’s entire body has been protected with XPEL paint-protection film for long-lasting appeal, and a third party 305-point checklist came back with exceptional findings. This is an opportunity to own a Corvette with race-inspired engineering and historical provenance.
Note that the car carries current Dubai registration, but it is located in Saudi Arabia.
