Next Corvette ZR1’s Twin-Turbo V8 Allegedly Shows Up In CAD Image

The new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1's twin-turbo V8 will be based on the Z06's 5.5-liter mill but could be downsized and hybridized

The Z06 still holds the crown as the ultimate version of the C8-generation Chevy Corvette but soon, it will be usurped by the long-awaited ZR1. Soon after our spy photographers snapped a ZR1 prototype getting a shakedown on the Nurburgring, a CAD image reportedly depicting the engine of this new model surfaced online. The key difference between the engine of the Corvette Z06 and that of the ZR1 is that the latter will rock a pair of turbochargers.

5-liters as it does in the Z06, but Motor Trend speculates that it could be downsized to reduce any unwanted vibrations. The publication also adds that the twin-turbocharged V8 may be supplemented by a pair of electric motors up front that could combine to deliver over 900 hp. https://twitter.com/automobilemag/status/1714476500546633971 These suggestions are at odds with a document that surfaced online back in 2020 detailing forthcoming variants of the C8.
