This Hertz Corvette ZHZ is Noisy, Yellow, and Strangely Attractive | Carscoops

      This unique model was manufactured in 2008 and included in Hertz's 'Fun Collection'.

      Chevrolet produced only 500 Corvette ZHZ models specifically for Hertz’s Fun Collection.

      With its Velocity Yellow paint and chrome wheels, this C6 Corvette is certainly eye-catching.

      This specific Corvette has accumulated 116,500 miles and is currently up for auction.

      If you're going to drive a Chevrolet C6 Corvette, you should definitely do it in a striking color that catches attention even before starting the engine. This 2008 Corvette ZHZ achieves that with its Velocity Yellow Tintcoat and shiny chrome wheels. Designed for Hertz, this special edition is distinctly different from a typical rental car, with only 500 models created.

      Over the years, Chevrolet and Hertz have collaborated on various unique models, but the Corvette ZHZ stands out as one of the most memorable. Crafted for Hertz's “Fun Collection” in 2008, these cars initially served in the rental fleet before entering private ownership. Despite its rental history, this vehicle is much more than just a typical airport rental car.

      In designing a Corvette that would attract Hertz customers, Chevrolet chose a Velocity Yellow Tintcoat paint and included both the 2LT Equipment Group and GCA Ultimate Appearance Package. The ZHZ also features a dual-mode performance exhaust, Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension, and Xenon headlights.

      Cars & Bids is handling the sale of this car and notes that the current owner has made some minor modifications. It now sports black vinyl on the front fenders, Stingray emblems on the quarter panels, red brake calipers, tinted windows, and a new Sony head unit compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

      Potential buyers should note that this vehicle was involved in an accident in March 2010, necessitating repairs to the rear bumper and passenger-side quarter panel. Additionally, it is fitted with older tires from 2019 and 2020, which should be considered if you intend to drive it aggressively. Otherwise, the listing does not mention any mechanical issues, and the 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 is expected to have significant life remaining.

      The current owner acquired it in January, and it has a mileage of 116,500 miles (~187,488 km). The only potential downside may be the six-speed automatic transmission; a manual option would have made this vibrant yellow Corvette even more appealing. However, if you're looking for a car to enjoy cruising, it's still a strong option.
