GeigerCars.de is naming their Corvette Z06 program Wild Thing and we think it's not far from the truth, at least as far as the color choices go. The GeigerCars Corvette Z06 underwent extensive engine modifications and now develops 890 hp at 6.100 rpm and 940 Nm of torque at 4.500 rpm. The extra power of the GeigerCars Corvette Z06 comes from an increase in the cubic capacity of the V8 engine to 7.6 liters, new cylinder heads, amplified insert springs, titanium spring cups and, sport camshafts. The GeigerCars Corvette Z06 also comes with a 100 mm air mass flow meter, revised dampers and induction tract, two high performance turbochargers and a new a sport exhaust system.
To be able to handle all the extra power, the GeigerCars Corvette Z06 features a new transmission with a carbon two-disc clutch and cardan shaft.
The GeigerCars Corvette Z06 price has not been announced yet, nor it's performance numbers, but we expect both of them to be reasonably high.
GeigerCars Press Release:
Wild Thing - Corvette Z06 by GeigerCars.de GmbH
Who ever had the possibility to drive a Corvette Z06 never complained about the engine power for sure. After all, the US- American sport-car-icon is already powered by a series seven-liter-V8 engine with 512 hp. Even expert drivers should be careful behind the wheel of this steam hammer,
novice drivers should definitely not get behind the wheel of the CORVETTE Z06.
Only a madman would want to increase the output of this fast car significant. Karl Geiger from Munich is such a madman.
To be able to increase the output of an internal-combustion engine substantially there are basically three king ways: more cubic capacity, a charge using a turbocharger or compressor as well as classic tuning in the form of the modification of locomotive engine parts as well as the supplying of fuel and air. GeigerCars.de
has a long time experience in all of these divisions this is why Karl Geiger decided to go all three ways for the ultimate engine on base of the Corvette Z06. The thought of the final outcome is going to make the mouth water of hp-freaks. But one step at a time.
Pure Power
The Geiger Bi-Turbo power package covers a flaring of the cubic capacity up to impressive
7.6 liter. Modifications are made to the engine block, to the cylinder heads and the crank motions. Geiger employed amplified insert springs, spring cups made of titanium, sport camshafts as well as a 100 mm air mass flow meter. The dampers and the induction tract have been dealt with. The cores of the engine tuning are the two high performance turbocharger, which blow air in the combustor. And because everything that comes in the front has to get out in the back, GeigerCars.de installed a sport exhaust system with four end pipes, each one as thick as an arm, and sport catalysts.
The paper mould of the cubic capacity giant is already more then impressive: unbelievable 890 hp at 6.100 U/min as well as 940 Nm at 4.500 rpm
shows the data sheet. The maximum speed is about 354 km/h. However, only the driving experience makes one comprehend what the numbers on the paper really mean. I do know what I am talking about. With an angry thunder and fizzle the Bi-Turbo-Corvette answers every gas blow with an unbelievable thrust, which seems to have the possibility to cause a whiplash injury. Pure poison! Karl Geiger has chosen his distinctive Geiger Green color for this wild animal not without cause.
carbon fiber drive chain
Of course there is not used a serial CORVETTE Z06 drive chain. Built in is a boosted transmission as well as a two-disc-transmission mad of carbon in combination with a cardan shaft made of carbon.
Shaft drives and differential gear were boosted as well.
A further challenge is the diversity of the engine power on the street. Geiger hoisted in the front 285/30 an in the back 345/25 tires on bright black coated rims. Behind the rim star appears a high performance brake system with grooved 380x32 mm brake discs and 6-piston-back gauges in the front and 355x32 mm discs and 4-piston back gauges in the back. The Geiger sport undercarriage contains sport shock absorber with 16-fold adjustable compression, tighter compound springs as well as stabilizers for font and back axle.
Rendered broad
As usual Geiger used the in-house GT-Kit for the Corvette – car body. The bug and the rear show a completely new and brawny appearance. The louvred in the black hood not just look spectacular but also serve a technical purpose: they guard against thermal indispositions of the turbo engine.
