Default 2018 Corvette Z06 in the new Sebring Orange Metallic

A 2018 Z06 Corvette in Sebring Orange Metallic just arrived late last week and I thought I'd post some pictures for those folks trying to get a good idea of what the new color looks like.

The car is parked in our 3rd floor showroom, so the pictures are taken under showroom lighting.

I own a DSOM Vert Z06 and hence I LOVE orange...but I'm not sure about this one yet. Going to have to see it in person.

Love the color. Reminds me of a Kawasaki h1 triple 500 I had when I was 16–when dinasours roamed the earth.

I'm with you on this... compared to my DSOM Vert Z06 I'm still out on this orange, going to need to see one in person. Might just head over to Barett Jackson and watch them auction off the ZR1 that's been paraded all over the country and take a look at the Orange one on display.

Boy I hope it looks better in daylight as it doesn’t work for me under fluorescent lights at all.

Finally an actual Orange instead of a bunch of Burnt Oranges or Gold colors they call Orange.

It does look much more like a pure orange; will have to see it in person. Looks good to me so far...

I could be totally off here, but I think these are added by dealer and assuming they did not get around to that yet?

I hope I like it there will be two in the garage, a little loud for me but in person looked great, and it's a car how long will I have it anyway.

I have had 5 orange Corvettes...4 have been the "burnt orange". My current 2016 DSOM Z06 gets raves at every event. I am sure I will like the new "real" orange, but the coppery, burnt oranges are number one for me!! All a matter of opinion!

I am pretty sure that the Sebring Orange Z06 in MacMulkin's showroom belongs to my good friend, Steve, so I look forward to seeing it in person soon!

I want to see it in person as well. But I really love my DSOM. Personal choice for sure but cool they are offering such a bold color choice.

Gorgeous but a bit too bright orange for me, really need to see it in the sun. Prefer my DSOM for now.

Awesome color and would have been my choice had they offered it when I got mine. I have a Competition Orange Roush Mustang so I am a bit biased but it doesn't have metallic flake like the Sebring. Would really pop with all the black accents and carbon fiber. I too loved the inferno orange c6s and was looking for a zr1 but it was damn near impossible to find.

The Sebring looks great under light then washes to a lighter color outside just looking at pictures. The above has a more orange rear bumper but the rest looks red!
