[ACCIDENT] 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Convertible Destroyed in Highway Crash

When Chevrolet finished production of the 2016 Corvette Z06 C7.R Editions, a total of 44 of the 650 Z06s were Yellow Convertibles. Now you can reduce that number by one after a serious crash claims number 104.

The photos and account of the crash were posted on Gani Ndreu’s facebook page where he shares the tale the crash. The good news is that he walked away from the crash with minor injuries

…the guy in back of me said that all of a sudden I took like a right hand turn and went head-on into the guardrail this was on the highway at approximately 60 miles an hour and he said that the car exploded literally he thought that I was dead for sure but I was pretty much okay thank God for this great technology. I don’t remember any of the above the state trooper told me there was three other accidents in that same exact spot the same day and the tow truck driver told me that they just repave that part of the highway and he thinks that used a very oily tar mix.

The amount of damage isn’t really shocking considering the sports car’s plastic body but that the driver was able to survive the crash with minor injuries is a testament to just how safe the Corvette is.

In his posts, Ndreu is already searching for Black C7.R Convertible to replace his damaged car and the 2019 Corvette ZR1 might be in his sights as well.
