Good for 1,000 horsepower without a supercharger or turbo
Normally those Americans are pretty good at coming up with catchy names for stuff with a lot of power. We call it a Hellephant, Megazilla, Demon or just Mach 1. You would expect the same with this engine, but it seems that in this case Chevrolet felt that the specifications should do the talking. And they do. You’re watching the latest crate engine of the American brand. You order this Chevrolet V8 separately and it comes in a crate to your home or garage.
The name of the engine is ZZ632/1000. It measures 632 cubic inches, or just 10.3 liters. If you just want to call it that. The large engine capacity divides the engine over eight cylinders and the intervention of a supercharger or turbo is not necessary. The total power is an extremely healthy 1,004 hp and 1,187 Nm. According to Chevrolet, the engine is fine for off-road and racing use, but we suspect that there are plenty of Americans who just put the engine in their street car.
What does this Chevrolet V8 cost?
The price of the 10-liter Chevrolet V8 with 1,004 hp is not yet known. It will be available to order from Chevrolet from next year. By the way, there is no production car that uses the engine, it is purely intended for DIY enthusiasts. If you want to use the motorcycle in the Netherlands, you will have to import it yourself. We are curious to see how much power tuners will come out with when they mount a nice set of turbos on it.
