New Engine Options for Gen. 7 Camaro?

[Pickles]

Not much going on in this category. We Aussies rely upon you guys for the latest info,.....so what's going on?
So, what engine options are there?.....imho, as far as ZL1 is concerned, it's gonna have to be good to be better than LT4. I can see LS6 in the SS, but for ZL1, it will have to be something better than that,....so, what are the predictions,.....a supercharged LS6?

ls6 and 1 janky lifter. nothing else matters.

I don't think there will be an SS for 7th Gen.

LT - RWD 2.7 four banger 340hp

LTX - AWD 2.7 four banger with electric drive system for front wheels (rRay) 400hp

ZL1- RWD 6.7 v8 525 hp

ZL1X - AWD 6.7 V8 with electric drive system for front wheels (eRay) 665HP

GMs Nascar Camaro uses the ZL1 badge only.

I would be surprised if they did an E AWD only because you can already get AWD in Alpha. And unless they do a HUGE update on Alpha2 it won‘t package the electric motor/drive axle AND a battery. That being said they haven’t offered AWD in any of the V or V Blackwings.

Now what you also have to account for is three brands and what differences they need to have to differentiate them and also justify cost differences. I outlined what GM did with LWB Lambda in another post.

I agree on the L4, base across the board most likely scenario. But we also have a 5.7 that can slip in there. Annnd a small matter of a miscellaneous turbo 6 cylinder (maybe the Cadillac V.

A turbo 3.6 v6 would underperform the new 6.7 v8 and likely cost more.

I assume the updated new chassis will be modified for front wheel electrification to expand into the wet and icy winter climates and increase sales.

The front electrification could help improve fuel economy and performance as GM ditches superchargers on top models.
