What a time to be alive. It feels like not that long ago a mid-engine Corvette was a future fantasy. Now, they're in Chevy showrooms, with a new 670-hp Z06 version on the way. And that's not even the craziest thing. That distinction goes to the custom-painted 2023 Chevy Corvette Z06 and its matching one-of-a-kind non-fungible token (NFT) that's about to be auctioned off for charity next week.

We can already imagine all of you right now who are firing up the Google machine to find out just what the heck is an NFT. Well, we sort of explained it in our recent comparison test of full-size luxury SUVs, also known as "Nice F—ing Trucks". For the TL;DR crowd, an NFT is a "unique digital identifier that cannot be copied, substituted, or subdivided, that is recorded in a blockchain, and that is used to certify authenticity and ownership," as defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary. Still confused? Welcome to 2022.
