The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup is destined to be the most potent ever. Whether you're competing on the track or cruising the streets, expect this American supercar to deliver a thrilling driving experience. There will be three exhilarating V8 engines to choose from: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each has its own distinctive personality. Let's take a look at what these engines bring to the table.
LS6
Chevrolet's exciting LS6 engine, which is available in the 2027 Corvette Stingray and the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport, is the newest engine to join the lineup. It replaces the Corvette's outgoing 6.2-liter V8 engine. This 6.7-liter, small-block V8 engine packs a monstrous 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Because there is so much torque available at low revs, performance feels especially strong. Amazingly, you can enjoy a significant jump in power without compromising efficiency.
While the Corvette Grand Sport X uses the same engine, it's assisted by a front-mounted electric motor (eAxle). Combined output is a staggering 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque. Expect acceleration to be especially blistering.
LT6
The heart of the track-focused 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is its high-revving LT6 engine. Chevy tunes the 5.5-liter, naturally aspirated V8 engine to produce an intoxicating 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. What makes the engine so special is its flat-plane crankshaft, which enables an astonishing 8,600-rpm redline. Not only is the Corvette Z06 capable of dominating a road course, but it also captivates drivers with its exotic engine sound.
LT7
Available in the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the LT7 engine is an awe-inspiring powerhouse. While this engine is related to the LT6, it features several exclusive upgrades. Some of the highlights include beefier connecting rods, heavy-duty wrist pins, unique cylinder head castings, and a dual-fuel system.
Of course, twin turbochargers also help deliver a staggering 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. The addition of an electric motor enables the ZR1X model to generate an even more breathtaking 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
