2015 Corvette Z06 Rated at 650 Horsepower
Supercharged LT4 V-8 engine is the most powerful ever from Chevrolet

DETROIT – The all-new 2015 Corvette Z06 is the most powerful production car ever from General Motors and one of a few production cars available in the United States that delivers more than 600 horsepower.

The Z06’s LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 engine is SAE-certified at 650 horsepower (485 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm) at 3,600 rpm.

“The LT4 Small Block sets a new benchmark for power and torque at GM,” said Steve Kiefer, vice president, GM Powertrain Engineering. “The engine also puts the new Corvette Z06 on par with the most powerful supercars offered in America, while delivering performance with impeccable manners that make it suitable for daily driving.”

Compared with other supercar engines, the LT4 is a veritable fountain of low-end torque, producing 457 lb-ft (619 Nm) just off idle and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) by only 2,800 rpm. The V-12-powered Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, for example, produces about 28 percent less torque than the Z06, despite offering about 12 percent more horsepower – and its peak torque isn’t achieved until 6,000 rpm. The LT4 maintains 90 percent of its peak torque, or 592 lb-ft (802 Nm), from 2,500 to 5,400 rpm.

The new LT4 engine eclipses the Porsche 911 Turbo S engine’s peak power levels by 90 horsepower (67 kW) and 134 lb-ft of torque (182 Nm).

“Torque is the pulling power of an engine and the LT4’s abundance of it at every rpm in the engine’s speed range helps the 2015 Corvette Z06 accelerate quicker and respond nearly instantaneously,” said Jordan Lee, chief engineer for Small Block engines. “It’s the very definition of power on demand.”

The new Z06 engine produces 40 percent more peak torque (180 lb-ft / 244 Nm) than the previous-generation’s 7.0L LS7 engine – and 7.5 percent more than the supercharged 2013 Corvette ZR1’s 604 lb-ft (819 Nm). At 3,200 rpm, the new LT4 surpasses the LS7 by 208 lb-ft of torque (252 Nm). On the horsepower side of the graph, the LT4’s 650-hp rating is 29 percent greater than the LS7’s 505 horsepower (376 kW), and 12 horses more than the ZR1’s LS9 engine.

“The new LT4 engine builds on the design strengths of our previous supercharged engine and leverages the technologies introduced on the Corvette Stingray – direct injection, cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing – to take Corvette performance to an all-new plateau,” said Lee. “Our new, very compact supercharger also helps the engine make power more quickly, and perhaps more importantly, it helps produce more torque earlier in the rpm band.”

“It’s also worth mentioning that the LT4’s supercar performance numbers are achieved with an engine that is nearly the same size as the very compact LT1 engine introduced in the 2014 Corvette Stingray,” Lee said. “The power density of the LT4 makes it one of the smallest and lightest 650-hp engines in the industry.”

LT4 details

The new LT4 engine is based on the same Gen 5 small block foundation as the Corvette Stingray’s LT1 6.2L naturally aspirated engine, incorporating several unique features designed to support its higher output and the greater cylinder pressures created by forced induction, including:

Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads that are stronger and handle heat better than conventional aluminum heads
Lightweight titanium intake valves
Machined, forged powder metal steel connecting rods for reduced reciprocating mass
High 10.0:1 compression ratio – for a forced-induction engine – enhances performance and efficiency and is enabled by direct injection
Forged aluminum pistons with unique, stronger structure to ensure strength under high cylinder pressures
Stainless steel exhaust manifolds and an aluminum balancer that are lighter than their LT1 counterparts
Standard dry-sump oiling system with a dual-pressure-control oil pump.
A new 1.7L supercharger spins at up to 20,000 rpm – 5,000 rpm more than the supercharger on the Corvette ZR1’s engine. The rotors are smaller in diameter, which contributes to their higher-rpm capability – and enables them to produce power-enhancing boost earlier in the rpm band. That boost is achieved more efficiently via a more direct discharge port that creates less turbulence, reducing heat and speeding airflow into the engine.

“The Small Block’s cam-in-block design heritage has always enabled very high performance and responsiveness in a small, compact package – an attribute amplified by the performance of our new supercharger’s design,” said Lee.

The LT4 is assembled at the new Performance Build Center at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly Plant and at GM’s Tonawanda engine plant in New York. It is matched with a standard seven-speed manual transmission or an all-new, paddle-shift eight-speed automatic transmission built in Toledo, Ohio.

Designed to deliver shift responses on par with the world’s best dual-clutch transmissions, it is the first automatic offered in a Z06. It also makes the Z06 one of the few cars this powerful to offer the choice of a conventional manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic.

The 2015 Corvette Z06 goes on sale in the fourth quarter of 2014.

Founded in 1911 in Detroit, Chevrolet is now one of the world's largest car brands, doing business in more than 140 countries and selling more than 4.9 million cars and trucks a year. Chevrolet provides customers with fuel-efficient vehicles that feature spirited performance, expressive design, and high quality.

The all-new LT4 supercharged 6.2L V-8 peak torque and horsepower figures are certified for accuracy by SAE. The LT4 maintains 90 percent of its peak torque, or 592 lb-ft (802 Nm), from 2,500 to 5,400 rpm.

Chevrolet presenteert nieuwtjes voor de Corvette Z06. Daaronder zit de C7.R Edition, een gelimiteerd verkrijgbare Z06 die het acceleratiesprintje in minder dan 3 seconden af kan leggen.

De noviteiten voor de Chevrolette Corvette Z06 in modeljaar 2015 bestaan voornamelijk uit kersverse opties, toegevoegde pakketten en nieuwe lak- en interieurkleuren. Enkele voorbeelden zijn de wielen met 'Blade'-design, two-tone GT stoelen in leder of suede en een parkeercamera vóór.

Het Z07 Performance Package laat de Corvette Z06, indien uitgevoerd met achttraps automaat, de 0-60 mijl per uur (0-97 km/u) afleggen in 2,95 seconden. Heeft je Z07 een zeventraps transmissie dan duurt dit sprintje 3,2 seconden. Bij deze acceleratie komt in bochten 1,2 g aan krachten vrij. Wil je van 60 mijl/uur weer tot stilstand komen dan kan dat in 30,4 meter, danzij de Brembo carbon-keramische remkit. Aerodynamische elementen ontbreken niet in dit optiepack.

Z06 C7.R Edition
Tegelijk met bovenstaande nieuwtjes onthult Chevrolet een limited edition Z06, de C7.R Edition. Deze is geïnspireerd op de Corvette C7.R-raceauto's en zijn daarom gespoten in de nieuwe lak Racing Yellow Tintcoat. Het is ook mogelijk om de Edition, die in een oplage van vijfhonderd stuks komt, in het zwart te bestellen. Alle exemplaren zijn uniek genummerd.

De Corvette Z06 C7.R Edition is standaard voorzien van bovenbeschreven Z07 Performance Package, Michelin PS Cup 2-banden, het Jet Black lederen interieur, sportstoelen en een sportstuur. Grafische en visuele accenten zijn her en der toegevoegd, net als hoogglans koolstofvezel details. De bekende 6,2 liter V8-motor biedt onveranderd 650 pk en 881 Nm koppel.

De C7.R Edition en opties zijn alle leverbaar als cq. voor de coupé en convertible. Bijgaande fotoreportage geeft een indruk van de nieuwe Z06-uitvoeringen.
