Default 16 cylinders for new mid-engine Vette

This is a 14 liter, 16 cylinder Chevy! The single piece block is cast from 356-T6 aluminum and takes 4 stock LS heads. It uses a single crank and a 32 lob cam!

Power is 1200 hp normally aspirated with a 7000 rpm redline. 1600 hp achievable with dual turbos and an expected 2000 hp with quad turbo's.



16 Cylinder Chevy; 1200 NA hp

"But, for those looking for something a tad more reliable, a 900 hp variant is also being considered, too."

I could even deal with the toned down version, you know, for better reliability.
