Claressa Shields is celebrating a major personal milestone after securing her dream ride, the Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, which she says she’s been manifesting since childhood.
On Thursday, April 16, Claressa shared a series of Instagram photos showing her stepping into luxury and confidence, dressed in head-to-toe Gucci while posing beside a white Corvette topped with a blue bow. The moment quickly drew attention online as she revealed that the high-performance sports car had long been on her wish list.
In her caption, Claressa expressed excitement about finally achieving the goal, writing that the car represented a lifelong dream and a reminder of how far she has come. She also tied the moment to her current mindset, noting she was embracing success, joy, and what she called her “Hot Girl summer” energy while celebrating ownership of the vehicle.
“Bad enough to talk about, pretty enough to pull off in a Corvette. I just Love My Life!!! Going to be Hot Girl summer! This is my DREAM CAR SINCE A KID #claressashields #GWOAT #corvette #corvettez06#ownership,” she captioned the photos.
The Corvette she secured is the 2026 Chevrolet Corvette C8 Z06, a mid-engine supercar known for its track-level performance. It features a 5.5-liter naturally aspirated LT6 V8 engine that produces 670 horsepower and can reach 8,600 RPM. With a 0 to 60 mph time of around 2.6 seconds, the model is widely recognized for combining speed, precision, and accessibility in the high-performance car market.
The celebration comes during a period when Shields has remained in the public eye not only for her achievements in boxing but also for conversations surrounding her personal life. Earlier this month, Papoose addressed rumors during an interview with DJ Vlad, denying claims that he was involved in a romantic overlap involving Claressa Shields (his girlfriend) and Remy Ma (his wife). He dismissed the speculation as a “false narrative,” pushing back on online discussions that he cheated on Remy Ma.
