Chevrolet has just announced the information on the 2014 Corvette's all-new engine. This new powerplant is a 6.2-liter V-8 --- not the 5.5-liter that everyone was thinking - and it boasts loads of technical goodies that make it better than any engine the mighty `Vette has ever had.
Allow us to introduce you to the all-new LT1 Gen V engine, which pumps out an impressive 450 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 450 pound-feet of torque at 4,000 rpm - that's a 20-horsepower and 26 pound-feet increase over the outgoing 6.2-liter. One thing that GM did not change up is the fact that the LT1 Gen V engine will retain the OHV and cam-in-block configuration that the small block engines before it did. Yeah, we know, a little dated, but if it works for GM's engineers then so be it.
Hit the jump for a detailed analysis of the new Chevrolet LT1 V8 engine for the Corvette C7.
