Looking back at the old Corvettes, you may find that none has ever featured turbos. That is, until the introduction of the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, which, thanks to the turbos’ assistance, can send 1,064 horsepower to the rear wheels without any help from electric motors. So why now? That is all thanks to the C8 Corvette itself and the fact that the car is mid-engined. We would have never gotten the LT6 if it wasn’t for this shift. Engineering Behind The 2025 C8 Corvette ZR1 Twin-Turbo LT7 EngineAccording to The Drive, neither the LT6 nor the LT7 engines would fit in the front of the car, ...

Chevrolet just unveiled the C8 Corvette ZR1, the most powerful Corvette ever produced. With 1,064 horsepower produced by a 5.5L twin-turbo DOHC flat-plane crank LT7 engine, it is the most powerful engine ever built by a major United States automaker, and it’s built right here in the U.S. Thoughtful planning produced the best performance from forced induction, married with the legendary 5.5L flat-plane engine architecture. However, before the LT7 was built, the engineering team had a different engine at the back of the C8 Corvette. C8 Corvette ZR1 Test Mule Engine: DetailsDuring a recent interv...

If you’ve ever wanted to own your very own race car, you have to keep your eye out for auctions taking place, as there are ample opportunities to get an excellent deal on something that wasn’t just built for track use but participated in some legendary races. One great example is the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R, which recently went up for auction at Bring A Trailer. The bid closed on May 19, 2024, selling for $143,000, which may seem like a lot for a lot of us, but considering what this car can do and what it is, that number feels like a steal. 2018 Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R: DetailsThis particul...

It wasn’t long ago that we covered that General Motors is looking into bringingplug-in hybrid vehicles to North America to assist in pushing towards electrification without forcing consumers to sacrifice the reliability of range and refueling just to have a vehicle that offers less emissions. With plug-in hybrids, that’s no longer a problem; you get the best of both worlds. For truck buyers, the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra are expected to be the first GM plug-in hybrid trucks the company will offer. CEO Mary Barra recently told The Detroit News in an interview that GM hybrid trucks are ...

The C8 Corvette E-Ray is a spectacular example of how electrification doesn’t have to be a bore. With the help of an electric motor at the front and a V8 in the back, Chevrolet has made the quickest production Corvette in history (for now) thanks to the electrified all-wheel-drive feature on the car. This year, a 2024 C8 Corvette E-Ray 3LZ coupe will lead the field to the green flag for the 108th Indianapolis 500.

The C8 Corvette Z06 is currently the most track-capable Corvette in the lineup. Though with the new ZR1 right around the corner, that’s likely to change. At the same time, the verdict remains out for the almighty Nürburgring lap time. While General Motors has taken the car to the Nürburgring in the past as part of testing for the Z06, various factors have kept an official lap time from being published. And even though the Z06 has been on the market for a few years now, we have yet to see anyone else accelerate the car down the legendary straights and bends of this race track until now. Misha C...
