Unrivaled performance defines the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup, making it the most potent iteration ever crafted. From spirited weekend drives to competitive lap times, this legendary American supercar offers an unforgettable ride. Buyers can select from three extraordinary V8 powertrains: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each motor brings a separate flavor of speed to the road. Here is a closer look at these performance options.
LS6
Joining the lineup as the standard engine for the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport, the LS6 V8 replaces the previous 6.2-liter V8 engine. Displacing 6.7 liters, this small-block V8 commands 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. With abundant low-end torque, acceleration feels energetic from the moment you press the pedal. Remarkably, this power enhancement does not compromise engine efficiency.
Meanwhile, the Corvette Grand Sport X pairs the 6.7-liter V8 with an electric motor positioned on the front axle (eAxle). Together, they produce a thrilling combined 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque for breathtaking speed.
LT6
The heart and soul of the motorsport-inspired 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the high-revving LT6 V8. Naturally aspirated and measuring 5.5 liters, this engine generates 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. It utilizes a flat-plane crankshaft, allowing an impressive 8,600-rpm rev limit. Beyond top-tier track agility, the Corvette Z06 rewards drivers with an exotic V8 exhaust note.
LT7
Under the hood of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X lies the LT7 engine—a peak expression of V8 engineering. Built on the LT6 architecture, it features heavy-duty upgrades, including reinforced connecting rods, high-strength wrist pins, bespoke cylinder head castings, and a dual-fuel injection system.
Boosted by twin turbochargers, the LT7 engine produces an astonishing 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. In the ZR1X model, a supplemental electric motor elevates maximum performance to 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
