Chevrolet has engineered the 2027 Corvette family to be the most capable performance lineup yet. Whether hitting track apexes or taking on daily commutes, drivers will experience world-class supercar dynamics. Three distinct V8 engines are available for 2027: the LS6, LT6, and LT7. Each powertrain possesses a distinct personality. Below is an overview of what each engine delivers.
LS6
The newly introduced LS6 engine serves as the latest powerplant for the 2027 Corvette Stingray and 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. Succeeding the outgoing 6.2-liter V8, this 6.7-liter small-block unit outputs a potent 535 horsepower along with 520 lb-ft of torque. Generous low-rpm torque delivers strong pulling power in any driving condition. Furthermore, this noticeable performance gain is achieved while maintaining impressive operational efficiency.
The Corvette Grand Sport X uses the same 6.7-liter engine as the Corvette Grand Sport, along with a front eAxle electric motor. Combined performance surges to a massive 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft of torque for explosive off-the-line capability.
LT6
Propelling the circuit-ready 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is the high-rpm LT6 engine. Chevrolet tuned this naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 to produce 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. The engine's defining feature is its flat-plane crankshaft, which supports an incredible redline of 8,600 rpm. The Corvette Z06 not only carves through road courses with precision, but also fills the cabin with a captivating supercar tone.
LT7
Powering both the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and 2027 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1X, the LT7 V8 is a true engineering marvel. Sharing foundation elements with the LT6, it gains custom hardware, including strengthened connecting rods, heavy-duty wrist pins, specialized cylinder head castings, and an advanced dual-fuel delivery system.
A pair of twin turbochargers helps generate a remarkable 1,064 horsepower and 828 lb-ft of torque. Choosing the ZR1X adds an electric drive motor, raising total output to an astonishing 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque.
