The all-new LT1 6.2-liter V8 engine that will power the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been SAE-certified at 460 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, and 465 foot-pounds of torque at 4,600 rpm with the Corvette’s performance exhaust system, General Motors announced today.
Even with standard exhaust, the new Stingray is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower, which makes it the most-powerful standard factory motor ever built for the Corvette. And it still gets 26 miles-per-gallon on the highway.
