For some manufacturers, 1.6-liter engines can now be considered a big block, and this Chevy’s “heart” is nearly six times larger than that.

In 1967, Chevrolet released the third generation of the legendary Corvette, which remained in production until 1982. Even the small block has a displacement of 5.4 liters.

In the case of the Big Block, the V8 is already 7.4 liters, but there may be those who want more. This modified version we found in Berlin was made for them:










The C3 Corvette shown in the attached photos was born in 1968 and has no less than a 9.4-liter V8 petrol engine in its nose.

The average consumption is definitely more than 9.4 liters, and there is no doubt that the 65-liter fuel tank can be used in a flash.

This particular Corvette demands an experienced driver, as the rear 345/30 ZR19 sport tires torment no less than 805 horsepower.



















Among the mass-produced cars currently available, the eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette Z06 top model has the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 petrol engine in the world.

The 5.5-liter LT6 DOHC mid-engine in the Corvette Z06 delivers no less than 680 horsepower to the rear wheels, though the crankshaft has to be cranked up to 8400 rpm.

The new Corvette is also available in roadster and hybrid versions

Peak torque can be reached from 6300 and although 623 Nm is also respectable, it falls short of the values ​​of turbocharged or supercharged engines, which are usually over 800 Nm.

The V8 with a top speed of 8600 provides its power through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and, according to official factory data, we can accelerate from 0 to 96 km / h in 2.6 seconds.

The maximum speed of the 1561 kg Z06 reaches 320 km / h.
