With production limited to just 500 examples, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon combines the road-holding and braking of the ZR1 with the naturally-aspirated engine of the Z06.

The Corvette Z06 Carbon features Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with specific dark gray metallic calipers from the ZR1 and black 20-spoke 19-inch front/20-inch rear wheels wrapped in Michelin PS2 rubber.

It will also include Magnetic Selective Ride Control for the first time on the Z06 along with enhanced cooling and a special carbon pattern engine cover.

Customers will be able to choose between two exclusive exterior finishes – Inferno Orange and the all-new Supersonic Blue.

The outside of the Corvette Z06 Carbon has received the full ZR1 makeover with black headlamps and mirrors, a ZR1-style body color spoiler, body color door handles, carbon fiber raised hood, and black carbon fiber rockers and splitter.

Inside, the Corvette Z06 Carbon is finished in a combination of leather and suede complemented by blue or orange seat stitching to match the exterior color chosen.

Other features include a unique steering wheel emblem, sill plate and logoed headrest with suede used on the steering wheel, shifter, seat inserts, armrests and doors.

For buyers that miss out on a genuine Corvette Z06 Carbon, an optional Z07 performance package that includes the mechanical upgrades introduced on the Z06 Carbon can be added to a regular 2011 Z06.

The 2011 Corvette Z06 Carbon Limited Edition adds to the Z06, Grand Sport coupe and convertible and ZR1 models already on offer in the Corvette line-up. Chevrolet Corvette Pictures – Chevrolet Pictures

Chevrolet Logo

Does that seem worth $995? It does to some people, according to Chevrolet. “When the first Transformers movie was setting box office records, we had countless customers asking to purchase the ‘Bumblebee’ Camaro,” said Karen Rafferty, product marketing director for Chevrolet. “Now, they can buy one with the new Camaro Transformers Special Edition. Streets all over North America will be buzzing in no time.” Ah, so punny.

The cheesy package is available on any Camaro LT or SS, with or without the RS appearance package, so long as it is Rally Yellow. We suggest starting with the 400-plus-hp, V-8–powered SS model if you want your “Bumble” to “rumble.” And if you’re going to get one, we suggest doing it soon, while Transformers is still getting a lot of “buzz.”

A logo is the chief weapon used to promote an organization and its products. Chevrolet, colloquially Chevy, is a brand of automobiles, produced by General Motors, one of the world’s most dominant carmakers. Chevrolet is headquartered in Detroit, Michigan. Louis Chevrolet teamed up with a man named Durant, to establish this car company in 1911.

Designing of Chevy Logo:
There is some dispute as to where the Chevy logo originated. Some resources suggest that Louis himself designed the logo, being inspired of the Swiss cross, while others say that Durant designed it after being inspired by a wallpaper pattern in a French hotel. This logo is one of the world’s most recognized trademarks since 1913, when William Durant introduced the company symbol for the first time.

Shape: No matter, from which angle we see the Chevrolet logo; it is easily recognized. This logo is often referred as the Chevy bowtie, although it does not look like a typical bowtie. In the logo, the bow is vertically stacked with the company name, giving it a very decent look. The conventional shape aligned with the trendy colors give the logo a vast target market.
