We’ve seen the new badge, and now we’ve gotten our first peak at the new engine for America’s sports car, the Chevrolet Corvette. The flagship engine of the so-called Generation 5 family of small-block V-8s, this LT1 retains its overhead-valve layout, but adds in plenty of new tech. But of course, we know you’d all rather just see the numbers rather than a bunch of technical jargon. Preliminary output is 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, with a sub-three-second run to 60 miles per hour, all while besting the 2013 Corvette’s 26-mile-per-gallon highway rating.
