GM’s Flint Engine Operations in Flint, Michigan will assemble the LS6 with US and globally sourced parts, reverting production to the city where the first Corvette V8s were built in 1955. Chevrolet’s capacity for advancing V8 technology has come with time and experience. LS6 represents the start of the sixth generation of Small Block V8s, extending a legacy more than 70 years in the making.

“There is no replacement for displacement! Our next generation LS6 engine pushes 409 cubic inches of jackhammer fury through the tailpipes,” said Mike Kociba, assistant chief engineer, Next Generation V8. “Combining large displacement, modern technology, and proven Small Block V8 heritage will deliver a bold new chapter in performance.”
