General Motors is revealing the all-new, seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette bit by bit. After the redesigned Crossed Flags logo last week, we now have a sneak peek of the new engine that will sit under the long hood.
A direct-injected 6.2L LTI V8 producing approximately 450 horsepower will propel the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in less than four seconds while exceeding the 2013 EPA-estimated 26 mpg rating on the highway, the automaker announced.
''Our objective for the development of the all-new LT1 was to raise the bar for performance car engines,'' said Mary Barra, senior vice president, global product development. ''We feel that we have achieved that by delivering a true technological masterpiece that seamlessly integrates a suite of advanced technologies that can only be found on a handful of engines in the world.''
She added: ''What makes this engine truly special is the advanced combustion system that extracts the full potential of these technologies. The art and science behind that combustion system make the Corvette LT1 one of the most advanced V8 engines in the world.''
