With official horsepower and torque ratings recently released by General Motors, the 2015 Corvette Z06, capable of 650 HP and 650 lb.-ft., is definitely living up to its supercar status. The car's new LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine improves upon the standard Stingray's LT1 engine by adding 200 horsepower, making it one of the highest output engine ever sold in a GM product! The LT4 incorporates many of the LT1's features like direct injection, cylinder deactivation, and variable valve timing, but in order to increase output, the LT4 adds stronger cylinder heads, lightweight titanium intake valves, lighter steel connecting rods, special aluminum pistons, a stainless steel exhaust manifold, and a 1.7-liter supercharger!
But with so much power, GM engineers had to pay special attention to the Z06's design to ensure it offered a more flexible curve torque for better on-demand power at any rpm. And with a horsepower peak that occurs at 6400 rpm and torque peak that occurs at 3600 rpm, that's exactly what they did.
