The Corvette C7 Z06 is the ultra-radical version of the seventh generation: a supercharged 6.2L LT4 V8 producing around 650–659 hp and 880+ Nm of torque, rear-wheel drive, a 7-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission, a top speed of over 310–330 km/h, and a 0–100 km/h time of under 4 seconds. Its chassis, brakes (ceramic in the Z07 package), and aerodynamics are clearly designed for the track rather than comfort. The Corvette C5, the fifth generation produced from 1997 to 2004, marks the true modern leap for the Corvette with a new chassis, rear transaxle, and a 5.7L LS1 V8 producing 345 hp (later, more powerful variants), a top speed of around 270–280 km/h, significantly improved balance, and GT versatility suitable for everyday use, making it an excellent entry point into the Corvette world today.

A Dream Life in Watercolor

Since childhood, Uli Ehret (born in Weinheim, Germany in April 1965) was passionate about cars and painting. At just 16 years old, he began winning national art competitions, and at 21, he opened his own advertising agency.

In 1998, the discovery of watercolor as a medium for depicting racing cars allowed him to make his first breakthrough in art. For his exhibition at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2005, Ehret demonstrated that he had finally found the tool to express dynamism, movement, and vibrations, and that he was now able to represent speed in his paintings. A subtle blend of realistic representation and impressionism. By its very nature, watercolor allows for a representation of movement that can be perceived even in the dust spray from the road and the glow of the brake discs. And the way Ehret utilizes the background adds even more speed to his works.

But his work doesn't stop at this impressionistic style; it is also complemented by the story of a specific race, a driver's life, a competition's high point, or a historical moment in motorsport. Uli Ehret reads extensively about motorsport, both current and historical. His library contains several hundred books on all kinds of cars, drivers, and eras. Thus, a painting doesn't just depict a fast car, but also tells a story about the person behind the wheel or a particular day of racing, filled with historical details.
