The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette line is engineered to be the most potent supercar family Chevy has ever produced. Designed for both competitive track driving and everyday street cruising, this machine delivers endless thrills. Drivers can choose between three distinct V8 powerhouses: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each engine offers unique performance attributes. Here is a closer look at what each V8 brings.
LS6
The newest engine to join the family, the LS6 small-block V8, is featured in the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. Replacing the outgoing 6.2-liter V8, this 6.7-liter motor produces 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Plentiful low-rpm torque ensures instant pulling power. Remarkably, this power boost does not sacrifice fuel efficiency.
The Corvette Grand Sport X uses the same 6.7-liter V8 and a front eAxle electric motor. Together, they output 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque for incredible acceleration.
LT6
At the center of the track-oriented 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the high-revving LT6 V8 engine. Chevy tunes this 5.5-liter naturally aspirated powerplant to deliver 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Its flat-plane crankshaft enables an impressive 8,600-rpm redline, giving the Corvette Z06 remarkable agility on road courses along with an exotic exhaust tone.
LT7
Under the hood of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X is the LT7 V8 engine. Derived from the LT6, it features specialized upgrades including heavy-duty connecting rods, reinforced wrist pins, unique cylinder head castings, and a dual-fuel system.
Twin turbochargers enable this engine to produce 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. In the ZR1X, an electric motor increases total system performance to 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
