Yahoo Autos Corvette changes for 2022 include engine tweaks, higher price
Details for the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray are officially out. We already knew it was getting three new colors: Hypersonic Gray, Caffeine and Amplify Orange Tintcoat. But now Chevy has given us some other juicy details.
The big news concerns changes made to the 6.2-liter small block V8. Chevy says it upgraded the fuel injection system and “improved” the engine calibration. That said, the engine keeps its 490 horsepower rating in base trim and 495 horsepower rating with the performance exhaust system. The 0-60 mph time for the Z51 car remains at 2.9 seconds, too. We’ll hope to gain some answers on the reasoning behind the changes when we chat with engineers later today.
The last powertrain tweak is an “enhanced” Active Fuel Management range. Chevy didn’t release fuel economy yet, but there could be some changes there with these enhancements to the cylinder deactivation system.
