09 Jun 2014|4,626 views
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 U.S.A that delivers more than 600bhp.
Compared with other supercar engines, the LT4 is a veritable fountain of low-end torque, producing 619Nm just off idle and 847Nm from only 2,800rpm. The LT4 maintains 90 percent of its peak torque, or 802Nm, from 2,500rpm to 5,400rpm.
The new engine produces 40 percent more peak torque (244Nm) than the previous generation's 7.0-litre LS7 engine - and 7.5 percent more than the supercharged 2013 Corvette ZR1's 819Nm. At 3,200rpm, the new LT4 surpasses the LS7 by 252Nm of torque.
On the horsepower side of the graph, the LT4's 650bhp rating is 29 percent greater than the LS7's 505bhp, and 12 horses more than the ZR1's LS9 engine.
A new 1.7-litre supercharger spins at up to 20,000rpm - 5,000rpm 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.
