Twins.... bet your life on it. It will be pver 700 hp more than likely same or more than the C7 ZR but torque will be down probably in the 640 650 range as the displacement will be 4.4.
And the ZR1 will have Twins and electric up front = awd.
At Carlisle several members of the Corvette team all but alluded to it.. mentioning look at the manifolds... what are they begging for? What are they designed to have attached to them? When I guessed at the 750 number one of them stopped dead in their tracks and said that's a dam good guess and lol...
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Definitely doesn’t sound like an LT2 hybrid.

No rear spoiler or wing is odd. I doubt it... but active Aero?

Carbon Fiber wheels? The exhaust tips appear to be a bit more rounded too, but could just be because the image is jpeg.

The wheel cover treatment is still a head scratcher as they’ve never done that before. CF wheels is the best reason I’ve heard yet but they could easily just rattle can those. Is the wheel design that awesome they are trying to hide it? They’ve used generic wheels of the same spec in the past. CCB aren’t anything new to hide. Just weird.

Perhaps the new Z06 emblem or some other model name is imprinted in the lip of the wheel and they don't want to give away the fact that its a Z06 or some other model name yet.
