Next Corvette Will Be Powered by Small, High-Revving Turbo V-8 - Yahoo! Autos

Check it out... if it is nice enough I may have to jump on one of these lol.

revving to 10 grand would be amazing.

Very interesting. If they do this right, the C7 may come into consideration as my next car.

sweet, might bring me back to the corvette fold. but I'll always have my 370 as my track car!

You can't get rid of that track beast

I'm guessing this one will be priced significantly higher than the current models?

Sounds promising.

No doubt!

I'll believe it when I see it.

They want to turn the Vette into a high revving, mid-engine exotic!? I would personally like to see such a car from GM, but I don't think it should be called a Corvette. I'm sure the purist out there would agree with me.

My guess is you will get the conventional C7 with a big, traditional V8 and a special model with the screamer. Maybe the Z06 will get it.

Red__Zed · 06-03-2011, 09:55 AM

They mention 400 hp though.

I bet the engine gets nowhere near 10 grand though. 9k at best, most likely 8500.

Still screaming, not ten grand though.

My only fear is that they max the thing out trying to make 400-450hp. With the LS series they make 400hp without breaking a sweat.

If you guys actually read the full article instead of skimming through it, it does mention that they will also have a model with the conventional OHV V8.
