The Ferrari and McLaren TT V8's are flat plane crank'd.

And McLaren's 4.0L is making 1,200hp or more with the tuners.

C9 possibilities are exciting. A new Gen6 DOHC V8 would be awesome in a sleek new package. Not certain if they'd make them all hybrid, but seems they could squeeze a pancake electric motor between...

This has been my thinking as well. All of McLaren's 4.0L TT DOHC FPC V8's make over 800hp despite their official ratings, but if we take McLaren's official numbers from the 570S to the Sabre, that...

I'm hoping it makes 1,000hp and blows everyone's minds, but 900hp probably would do that, too.

TT DOHC V8's make big power. If the LT7 is ~5.5L or so, it should be able to make that power no...

I am curious what kind of power can be made on the LT6 once HPTuners is available.

And especially what will be possible with simply a tune on the LT7 ZR1.

I would forgo the carbon fiber wheels (they're susceptible to catastrophic failure if damaged) and get a custom set of forged monoblock Forgelines.

I believe this is spot on to what we'll get. If you take TT DOHC V8's from various manufacturers, most are 4.0L due to regulation and make anywhere from 550hp to 800hp (although the McLarens actually...

The official photo and announcement was released by GM near the end of September 2021.

Base ZR1 will have the Z07 wing, ZTK trim will get the active big wang. LT7 TT FPC DOHC V8 most likely.

I'm still counting on the ZR1 having a TT DOHC V8 (sounding like it's FPC) LT7, RWD only. A potential Zora allows them to thrown in the ERay batteries and front electric motor for 1,xxx hp AWD.

They could always do only one model: a LT7 RWD ZR1 or a LT7 hybrid AWD ZR1/Zora, but I think there's still time and the market for both.

A custom DCT gear set would be nice, too.

I believe the single greatest thing GM could do for the evolved C9 platform would be to (re)introduce a manual transmission.
