The 2014 Corvette Stingray's all-new LT1 6.2L V-8 engine was SAE-certified this week at 460 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 465 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm, with the available performance exhaust system.

The Stingray is SAE-certified at 455 horsepower and 460 lb-ft with the standard exhaust system. They are the highest standard power ratings ever for the Corvette according to a GM press release.

"The 2014 Corvette Stingray's LT1 engine is a triumph of advanced technology, delivering more power and torque than ever before with greater efficiency," said Jordan Lee, Small Block chief engineer according to GM.

GM also stated the vehicle is expected to exceed 26 mpg on the highway.

At 74 horsepower per liter, the LT1 has greater power density than the C6 Corvette's LS3 6.2L engine and the C6 Z06's 7.0L LS7 according to GM.

 It also produces comparable torque to the LS7, up to 4,700 rpm and its peak torque is within 5 lb-ft of the 7.0L engine.

Chevrolet estimates the Corvette will run from 0 to 60 mph in less than four seconds.

 "The LT1's performance complements the Corvette's low mass with a tremendous feeling of power that builds as the rpm climbs," said Lee. "Drivers will experience more power and acceleration than ever before with the standard engine - in fact, its power and torque surpass many up level engines offered by competitors."

Other engine features include an advanced oiling system with oil-spray piston cooling, an engine-mounted, camshaft-driven fuel pump, and high-flow, four-into-one exhaust manifolds according to GM.
