President Joe Biden was in Detroit today for a tour of the Detroit Auto Show and he also took the opportunity to check out the 2023 Corvette Z06 with General Motors CEO Mary Barra and GM President Mark Reuss watching on.
The Z06 on the turntable display was finished in Amplify Orange and was equipped with the Z07 package with the optional visible carbon fiber wheels.
A video from WXYZ-TV shows the President walking up behind the Z06 and then around to the passenger side. He pauses to say, “Get out of the way, everybody…this thing flies,” as Mary points out the visible carbon fiber wheels on the car (which saves 41 pounds of unsprung weight).
At this point, the President then reaches under the side-intake for the door release and climbs in the car, and we catch Mary saying, “you can even start the car,” as she leans in and points to the “Push to Start” button.
“I’ll tell you what,” says the President and he continues, “tell my secret service detail…I’m driving home.”
Biden toured other displays at the show and quipped again about the Corvette when checking out the Cadillac Lyric EV SUV. “Jump in, I’ll give you a ride to Washington,” he joked to reporters. “It’s a beautiful car,” he added, “But I love the Corvette.”
The President has famously owned a Goodwood Green 1967 Corvette Sting Ray Convertible, which was a wedding present from his father.
WXYZ doesn’t allow us to embed the video, so visit YouTube to watch it there.
Update

Oh wait….
Barf. We don’t need any old senile farts. Hopefully he did not back into anything.
This jerk is constantly pushing electric vehicles for the sake of climate change yet he starts a gas powered vehicle inside a building, climbed in a jet to get there, rode in a motorcade in gas powered vehicles to and from the show, then flew in a jet to Delaware to vote! Does this prove the kind of out of touch with reality this idiot is …..
Poor, clueless Sloppy Joe, controlled by the globalists and media nuts. Lowest ratings ever!
I agree with every one of you.
OMG! While the rest of us work through the daily challenges, Air Force One flies him to Delaware to cast his vote, then on to Detroit to push a false narrative. He’s there to promote EV’s, but ends up in a Z06!!! What a hypocrite!!! It’s the pathetic lies this administration is propagating on EVs especially the fact that for many Americans they’re unaffordable and impractical. Ask yourself, how is the electricity produced to power EV’s? Don’t buy the BS the liberal media is pushing. The only way to stop the madness is to vote!
Stay patriotic haters????
🤡
He wanted know where you plug it on, and was the engine noise pumped in through his hearing aides. 🤪
What in the hell wrong with these comments???
I thought Joe and Hunter would be test-driving Chinese cars. I thought I saw Kamala giggling in the background in a Subaru
What a joke! Did they tell him it actually runs on gas?
Presidents are not allowed to drive. Plus he’s a corrupt senile puppet…
All of the above!
I’m sure Joe would love to have one but Kamala would slap him around if we wanted to drive it more than around the driveway…while AOC threw out the spike strips.
He probably left a smell in the car that they won’t be able to get rid of.
What a creep! They might as well have had somebody dressed up as PedoBear and the story time drag queen pop in and give it a rev too.
That said, in GM’s defense, they have to lick ‘the big guys’ boots. He’s the commie that’ll be signing their next bailout check when this whole EV fiasco bankrupts them….again.
These comments alone are just more proof the the current CRIMINAL REGIME stole the 2020 election. Time to fix the ballot box, or resort to the ammo box. RedWave2020 Trump2024
Good thing it wasn’t sky cool grey interior because I would imagine his Depends leaked and would have stained the interior. #FJB and #FEVs.
Mary Barra whispered in his ear and told him don’t forget us for the next bailout!
Hey Joe – you are not Corvette worthy! also if EV’s are soooo great then why do you need our hard earned tax dollars to subsidize them ???
Get rid of Joe and Mary!
Sad day when we have a President and an Administration which is destroying are country. They think they can tell us what cars to buy and ruin the dreams and aspirations of a free country and turn it into a authoritarian dictatorship. This guy and this administration wants to destroy cars like we have in the Corvette and they’re ruining our freedom in the United States. Even sadder a lot of the auto companies are giving in to the woke ideology which is really nothing more than a Marxist socialistic worldview that never works. Look at history. Please USA wake up before it is to late.
☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼☝🏼
Based on the foregoing, I’m even more proud to be a member of the Corvette community. Bravo to you all!
I second all of the comments.. what a joke… Joe..
All but 1 of you are pathetic unpatriotic pieces!!…..You should just be PROUD “A” Democracy Loving “AND” Corvette Owning President just endorsed your/our sacred Corvette Cow for Christ sake! Just put it back in your big boy panties and save the damn wave! EV’s are coming to the whole planet whether Joe, you or I like’ em or not! ….And Sam you really need to get some overdo therapy for your Homophobic insecurities, that have no relevance anymore! Peace, Love and Hope for us all, PLEASE!
@ Darth Vetter — Amen, Brother (wave).
@Darth Vetter – the president is a pedophile and grown men are grooming children – but I’m the problem because I don’t like it? Makes sense in clown world.
