The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup promises unmatched power and engineering prowess. Built for track enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike, this iconic American supercar delivers pure automotive thrill. Buyers can choose among three exhilarating V8 powertrains: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each engine delivers its own distinctive driving characteristics. Here is what you need to know about these engines.
LS6
Chevrolet's new LS6 engine makes its entrance in the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. Replacing the outgoing 6.2-liter V8, this 6.7-liter small-block V8 delivers a massive 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. Because substantial torque is available right from low revs, responsiveness is exceptionally crisp. Driver-focused engineering ensures this power gain does not diminish efficiency.
The Corvette Grand Sport X pairs this engine with a front-mounted electric motor (eAxle). Combined output rises to 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque, delivering blistering acceleration.
LT6
The track-focused 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 relies on the high-revving LT6 V8 for power. Chevrolet tuned this naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 engine to produce 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. A flat-plane crankshaft enables the motor to reach an impressive 8,600 rpm redline. As a result, the Corvette Z06 delivers exceptional track performance alongside a thrilling exotic engine note.
LT7
Found in the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the LT7 V8 represents the pinnacle of performance engineering. While sharing roots with the LT6, it features key upgrades like stouter connecting rods, heavy-duty wrist pins, customized cylinder head castings, and a dual-fuel system.
Equipped with twin turbochargers, the LT7 delivers 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. With the addition of an electric motor in the ZR1X, system output reaches an incredible 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
