2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 revealed with race car-style engine
Fox News
The 2023 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 has been revealed with an unusual flat-plane crank V8 designed after the one used in Chevy's C8.R. endurance racing car. The high-revving engine is rated at 670 hp.
Built on an updated version of the Corvette Stingray's mid-engine platform, the Z06 swaps the Stingray's 495 hp 6.2-liter pushrod V8 for a 5.5-liter overhead cam V8 equipped with a flat-plane crankshaft.
It's an engine type typically found only in competition cars and exotics like Ferraris and McLarens. The lightweight rotating components and short-stroke configuration allow it to rev to a sky-high 8,600 rpm and produce a naturally aspirated V8-record 670 horsepower, 480 lb-ft of torque and a screeching exhaust note.
The last mass-produced American car to use one was the most recent Ford Mustang Shelby GT350, which has a 5.2-liter V8 rated at 526 hp.
