As a result, the new Corvette is said to be the most capable yet on a racetrack, with 625 horsepower from a new, supercharged 6.2 litre V8 engine, available with either a 7-speed manual or 8-speed auto with paddle shifters. The LT4 engine was designed with a more efficient and compact supercharger, which spins at up to 20,000rpm. It will come with larger Michelin tyres to deliver more grip, and also features extended bumpers for a wider and lower appearance. A Z07 Performance Package will be available, including uprated Brembo brake rotors, and 2 additional aerodynamic packages will be available, with either a carbon-fibre aero package, or the Z07 package.
