Chevrolet LOVERS
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette will use an LT1 6.2 L V8 (376 cu in) with an estimated 450 bhp (340 kW). The LT1 engine (the "LT1" designation was first used by GM in 1970) is in the Gen 5 family of small block engines, which will be used by GM vehicles going forward. It features three technologies new to the GM V8, though previously available on smaller GM engines: direct injection, variable valve timing, and an active fuel management system. Fuel injectors are located under the intake manifold. The Corvette remains rear-wheel drive with the transaxle located in the rear. Transmission choices include a 7-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters. The new interior includes wide-bottom seats as standard, with sportier versions with high side bolsters optional. The Corvette's flag logo has been revised for the new car and a small casting of a stingray has been added to the car's ornamentation.
