- Recently installed in a Corvette x-ray, the engine allowed the C8 to deliver 577 hp and 439 LB-PI.
- Lingenfelter has adapted a new rotary set, a personalized camshaft and new pistons.
- The improved 7.0 -liter V8 has been set to operate with the eight -speed standard double clutch.
The Chevy Corvette Stingray may not have the same flair which is wrong that the Z06 or the ZR1, but are not mistaken, the basic model always contains a punch. With its 6.2 -liter V8, it is more than capable of impressing even the most demanding enthusiasts. However, if you are of the type that finds you thinking: “And if it could be a little more ridiculous? – Lingerfelter have you covered.
The tuner took the C8 LT2 V8 and made it much more fierce, revealing a new variant of 7.0 liters which launches much more power and a high price to correspond.

The 7.0 -liter LT2 engine was announced for the first time in March of last year and is now available for customers for $ 29,950. It was also presented by hitting the Dyno for the very first time and seems to be a very impressive piece of kit. The tuners mainly resorting to forced induction for more power, Lingenfelter must be applauded to stick to horses with naturally old -fashioned suction.
Integrated into the engine bay of a corvette x-ray, the engine delivered 577 hp and 439 LB-PI (595 nm) of torque. Now, before you think it’s not so impressive, don’t forget that these figures have been recorded on the wheels. If you take a loss of transmission of 20%, this would be equivalent to 692 hp in the crank. Lingenfelter himself says that the engine itself delivers 704 hp and 600 lb-pi (813 nm) on 91 octane pump gases.
As this particular C8 is an x-ray, it also has an electric motor at the front axle, offering 160 hp, 125 lb-pi (169 nm) of torque and all-wheel drive. This means that this driving pumps around 860 horsepower combined, and we are sure that it is an absolute monster.
Lingenfelter did not just add a larger engine and call it one day. The 7.0 -liter LT2 has a brand new forged rotary set, a personalized camshaft, an improved connection connecting rod, fresh pistons and even personalized internal cylinder heads. Oh, and it is designed to play well with the original eight -speed double -speed transmission, so you don’t have to worry about the clumsy mechanical hiccups when you fix all this additional power.
