Default Corvette Powered Karmas in 2014?

Karma to get Corvette drivetrain in 2014. See this in the article? Two versions will be available, a base 450-hp direct-injected V-8 and an optional 638-hp supercharged V-8.

Will the hi po Vette also be getting the 638 supercharged engine?

I was wondering if the Hi Po vette will be getting the 638hp Supercharged engine? The article says the 14 Karma will have the Corvette engine, One at 450hp and the other at 638hp? As far as baddest 4 seater the Audi S8 with tune only just ran a 10.9 qtr.

Interesting.

One engine sure sounds like the current C7 engine. The other, at 638 HP could be the LS9 motor used in the outgoing ZR1 or maybe the rumored "new" motor that recent spy photos show.

If you enter on destino in the paragraph it takes you to the pictures . It shows an ls9 motor under the hood .

A modest payment of $200,000 and the "good luck getting repaired" Karma with a heart transplant can be yours . . .

They fixed the front as well. No more "Guy Fawkes" mustache.

Would be a pretty impressive car (if the chassis is any good - maybe it is, not sure).
