Transmission
The Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission is
standard equipment and is a refined version of the
previous Tremec manual unit. There are two sets of gear
ratios available, base and Z51. The shifter is designed
for shorter throws for a more precise shift feel, and
the clutch has been revised for lighter, smoother effort.

INFORMATION

Powertrain
Engine
The sixth-generation Corvette is powered by the
LS2 V8, one of a family of engines known as Gen4,
which represents the fourth generation of the
small-block V8. The LS2 displaces 6.0 liters, vs. the
5.7 liters of its Gen3 predecessor. The LS2 delivers not
only stunning horsepower for a small-block pushrod
V8 engine, but in a true measure of real-world efficiency,
it also delivers the best combination of horsepower
and fuel economy in the high sport segment
(estimated 18 mpg (12.6 L/100 km) city,
28 (8.1 L/100 km) highway).
LS2 Specifications
The 4-speed 4L65 automatic transmission has an
electronic controller that has been calibrated for
Performance Algorithm Shifting, a feature that
automatically selects the optimal gear for the specific
driving condition, especially for performance driving
and hard cornering. Under these driving conditions, the
transmission also shifts at higher RPM to provide
greater responsiveness and flexibility.
