When developing the C8 Z06 LT6, GM quickly discovered that flat-plane crank engines present one major engineering obstacle.

Chevrolet’s brand-new LT6 makes lungs rattle and hairs stand on end as it sings at 8,600 RPM in the 2023 Corvette Z06.

Outside of its familiar bore center sizing, the C8 Corvette Z06 LT6 is a totally new design, and perhaps the last.

The 2023 Corvette Z06 LT6 is a truly special powerplant, a fact that GM decided to celebrate in a big way.

How and where the LT2 and LT6 make their power is a truly fascinating lesson in powerplants.

The C8 Corvette Z06’s LT6 break in RPM redline is quite a bit higher than the Stingray’s LT2, as expected.

We met with the engineering team responsible for the LT6 engine and learn everything there is to know about this modern marvel.
