Information from a components catalog for the upcoming 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 seems to have confirmed that the automobile will rock a five.five-liter twin-turbocharged V8, despite the fact that some inquiries about the powertrain stay.

A supply from the Mid Engine Corvette Forum with access to a GM components catalog lately stumbled across a turbo air inlet and an air cleaner intake that was listed for the new engine. The catalog confirms this engine will be recognized as the LT7 and that it is a five.five-liter V8 with forced induction, dual overhead cams, active fuel management, direct injection, and variable valve timing.

Interestingly, a member of the forum who spoke with an “informed source” shortly right after the info leak says that the active fuel management method was incorrectly listed and that it will not be located in the LT7.

The one particular factor this info does not reveal is regardless of whether or not the ZR1 will retain the exact same flat-plane crank as the Corvette Z06 or if it will opt for a a lot more standard and cost-effective cross-plane crank. Many look to feel that Chevy will opt for a cross-plane crank as it does not want to rev as higher to make energy. Others point to twin-turbocharged, flat-plane crank V8s from Ferrari and McLaren as proof that Chevy could just reduce the V8’s redline for use in the ZR1.

Whatever the case might be, the automobile will be potent. Just how potent? A couple of weeks ago, Motor Trend speculated the five.five-liter twin-turbo V8 could be supplemented by a pair of little electric motors at the front axle to create more than 900 hp. The presence of electric motors also remains unconfirmed as other sources believed the twin-turbo, hybrid V8 will be reserved for the flagship Corvette Zora with in excess of 1,000 hp.

Regardless, now is clearly a quite thrilling time to be a Corvette enthusiast.
