Specifications

The Camaro ZL1 engine in the 6th-generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is a 6.2-liter LT4 supercharged V8 that stands at the pinnacle of modern American muscle engineering, delivering a ferocious 650 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 3,600 rpm. Constructed with a lightweight aluminum block and aluminum cylinder heads, the LT4 is topped with a 1.7-liter Eaton TVS (Twin Vortices Series) supercharger that forces dense, cooled air into the combustion chambers for immediate throttle response and relentless acceleration.

The engine integrates direct fuel injection and continuously variable valve timing to optimize combustion efficiency, power delivery, and drivability across the entire rev range, while its 10:1 compression ratio and 6,600 rpm redline allow it to balance durability with high-revving performance. 

Chevrolet engineered the ZL1 with an advanced thermal management system that includes multiple heat exchangers, a large intercooler, and an upgraded radiator to keep engine, transmission, and differential temperatures in check during aggressive track sessions. Power is sent to the rear wheels through either a precise 6-speed manual transmission for purists or a lightning-fast 10-speed automatic for maximum acceleration, enabling 0–60 mph runs in the mid-three-second range. Compared to the previous-generation ZL1’s LSA engine, the LT4 represents a significant leap in output, refinement, and cooling efficiency, cementing the Camaro ZL1’s reputation as a street-legal supercar slayer with everyday usability and track-proven strength.     


Engine Variants

6.2L LSA V8 (580 hp) – 5th Generation (2012–2015)

The 5th-generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was powered by the 6.2-liter LSA supercharged V8, producing 580 horsepower and 556 lb-ft of torque. Borrowed and refined from the Cadillac CTS-V, the LSA featured an Eaton 1.9-liter supercharger, aluminum block construction, and strong internal components built for high performance. Paired with either a 6-speed manual or automatic transmission, it delivered blistering straight-line speed while maintaining everyday drivability, marking the ZL1’s triumphant return to the Camaro lineup.

6.2L LT4 V8 (650 hp) – 6th Generation (2017–2024)

The 6th-generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 stepped up performance with the 6.2-liter LT4 supercharged V8, generating 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque. Shared with the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the LT4 uses a 1.7-liter Eaton R1740 supercharger, direct fuel injection, and advanced cooling systems for sustained track performance. Available with a 6-speed manual or a rapid 10-speed automatic, this version significantly improved acceleration, handling, and overall refinement, making it one of the most capable Camaros ever built.
