Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1 Engine

As we already know from the Lutz man himself, the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 will make its debut at the 2008 Detroit Auto Show. However the folks at Jalopnik have obtained the first shots of the engine that will power the much anticipated sports car.

The pictures of course confirm that the car will indeed be powered by a 6.2 liter LS9 V8 engine with superchargers. Output is expected to come in around 650 horsepower.

Lutz admitted to pushing the ZR-1 over 200mph at the Michigan Proving Ground.
