It's been rumored for a long time that there is a 4.4 and 5.5 TT on the horizon. It was in a leak document but it was removed. I'll have to check if I saved it.

Probably the engines that had twisted the chassis in testing. I think it was rumored at 900hp.

Read it’s also a FPC engine. Going to be wicked.


Pick your poison.

Jalopnik did a story on them. Even had a few CFD diagrams showing the piping and such.

Here is one of them in CAD.

There was an older article showing them with CFD going through the rear of the cooling passages of the car. Can’t find it right now but will check again tomorrow.

One thing we do know as a fact. The next Z06 is going to be otherworldly. In a good way! Crazy!

 

[jeffh81]

Bet the Z06 will be the 4.4 and the ZR1 5.5. engines

It would be interesting to see what buyers they are targeting outside the corvette market today and how successful will they be at winning them over.

I like the fact that an American car will now compete with the world hyper cars. Way to go GM.

Two years out, I can comfortably wait to that.

They had more but I think GMs lawyer made them take it down. There is one with the nose and 3/4 view showing the engine mounted with airflow patterns through the body. Was definitely a CFD model.
Don’t know what happened to them though.

I think I got a few more, I can’t post them as it says it too large for server. Do you mind uploading of I send you them?
