2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Carbon – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nIn the last few years it’s become a tradition for automakers to auction off the first production model of a collector car at Barrett-Jackson<\/a>. That’s set to continue next month when Chevrolet will offer the very first Corvette Z06 Carbon<\/a> at the Palm Beach Auction from April 1-3. The winner of the auction will not only get the very first Z06 Carbon, but will also be given the opportunity to take a tour of the GM Performance Build Center where the LS7 and LS9 engines are constructed by hand. <\/p>\n

Designed as a tribute to the Corvette’s first race at Le Mans 50 years ago, the Z06 Carbon features some parts from the range-topping ZR1 including the Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, Magnetic Ride Control suspension and a ZR1-style spoiler. The hood, side sills and front spoiler are also made from lightweight carbon fiber.<\/p>\n

If past GM auctions at Barrett-Jackson are anything to go by, the first Z06 Carbon should command a significant amount of cash. The first Corvette ZR1 went for a cool million dollars<\/a> and the first Camaro had a top bid of $350,000<\/a>. Most recently a limited edition Corvette Z06 raised $200,000 to benefit Haiti<\/a> at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale auction in January. Follow the jump for the official press release from GM.<\/p>\n
