The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup is crafted to be the most powerful version of America's supercar yet. Whether navigating city streets or competing on a road course, drivers can count on unmatched excitement. Buyers can select from three exhilarating V8 engines: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each powertrain brings a unique driving personality. Let's review what each motor offers.
LS6
The newly added LS6 V8 engine is featured in the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. Serving as the replacement for the outgoing 6.2-liter V8, this 6.7-liter small-block engine produces 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. With generous low-end torque, throttle response is instantaneous. This impressive power increase comes without sacrificing efficiency.
In the Corvette Grand Sport X, the LS6 works alongside a front-mounted eAxle electric motor. Combined output reaches 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque, delivering blistering acceleration.
LT6
At the heart of the track-focused 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the high-revving LT6 V8 engine. Chevrolet tunes this 5.5-liter naturally aspirated engine to make 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a flat-plane crankshaft, it boasts an astonishing 8,600-rpm redline. The Corvette Z06 delivers incredible road course capability alongside an exotic, thrilling engine note.
LT7
Available in the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the LT7 engine stands out as an engineering triumph. Related to the LT6, it receives dedicated upgrades including beefier connecting rods, heavy-duty wrist pins, custom cylinder head castings, and a dual-fuel injection system.
Twin turbochargers help generate 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. An integrated electric motor enables the ZR1X model to reach an incredible 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
