2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible: 2014 New York Auto Show Live Photos

General Motors recently pulled the wraps off its 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible, and the car has now been presented at the 2014 New York Auto Show. It arrives just in time for some spring-time dreaming about top-down driving. Top-down driving with 625 horsepower, that is.

Unfortunately, sales of the car won't start until early next year, but car this special shouldn't be rushed. The all-new Z06 drop top features the same powertrain as the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, with a supercharged 6.2-liter LT4 V-8 engine that will be able to meter out "at least 625 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque" once specifications are locked in. It will be offered up with a seven-speed manual gearbox, but it will also be available with the new eight-speed automatic transmission, which, Chevy has said, shifts faster than Porsche's PDK dual-clutch.
