The 2002 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Tiger Shark was a standout at the 2002 SEMA Show, originally built as a custom concept with a tuned 6.5-litre LS6 V8. The car, designed to showcase the potential of the Corvette Z06 platform, was later purchased by automotive enthusiast Jay Leno. Leno, known for his love of cars, had the Tiger Shark fitted with a more powerful 7.0-litre LS7 V8 engine, naturally aspirated, producing a remarkable 505 horsepower.
This upgrade transformed the car, giving it more power and a more refined performance package. The Tiger Shark was a rare combination of custom design and high-performance engineering, with the distinctive aesthetics that made it a memorable show car. Leno's ownership and the subsequent modifications elevated its status in the Corvette community, turning it into a unique example of American muscle and tuning prowess.
