“That's all power. The record really shows the strength of the LS6, an engine that we set out to create a unique place in the Corvette lineup.”
The LS6 is a 6.7L V8 producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. It replaces the outgoing 6.2L V8 and returns small block production to Flint, Michigan.
Why this matters
This milestone shows that high performance can still be accessible, as the Stingray offers supercar-level top speed at a relatively low price, powered by a new V8 engine.
