The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup stands out as the most powerful supercar lineup the brand has ever offered. Tailored for both track performance and street driving, every model offers world-class excitement. Three distinct V8 engines are available: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each motor delivers a unique driving experience. Here is a breakdown of what these engines bring to the highway.
LS6
Debuting in the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport, the exciting LS6 engine is the newest addition to the platform. Replacing the previous 6.2-liter V8, this 6.7-liter small-block V8 generates 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Strong torque availability across lower revs ensures quick response. Despite the substantial jump in power, overall efficiency remains well-balanced.
In the Corvette Grand Sport X, this powertrain is paired with a front-mounted eAxle electric motor. Combined output reaches 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque, yielding astonishing acceleration.
LT6
At the heart of the track-focused 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the high-rpm LT6 engine. Chevrolet tunes this naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 to produce 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Its defining characteristic is a flat-plane crankshaft that supports an 8,600-rpm redline. This motor enables the Corvette Z06 to excel on the track while captivating enthusiasts with its exotic sound profile.
LT7
The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X are powered by the LT7 V8. Related to the LT6, this high-output motor features reinforced connecting rods, heavy-duty wrist pins, custom-cast cylinder heads, and a dual-fuel delivery system.
Boosted by twin turbochargers, the LT7 yields 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. The ZR1X model features an electric drive motor, delivering an unbelievable 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
