SPY PHOTOS—NEW SUPERCHARGED CORVETTE CAUGHT!
This week’s spy photos bring us a sneak peak of the 2009 model supercharged Corvette. The photos were taken by Chris Doane for Brenda Priddy & Co.
According to Brenda Priddy & Co., “This might look like an ‘ordinary’ Z06 with a funky hood scoop, but our photographer’s tuned ears tell us this Corvette is anything but ordinary. Our shooter claims that the sound coming from the engine could only be a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, and our sources speculate that this Corvette is pushing nearly 650-horsepower! When the Corvette SS goes to production—expect the price tag to be in the $100,000 range.
The supercharged V8 will utilize an integrated intake manifold intercooler, and it’s expected to run a 0-60 in under 3.5 seconds. The super-hot SS will weigh even less than the Z06, utilizing more carbon fiber in the body, as well as polycarbonate material.
The 6.2-liter V8 will be built at GM's Performance Center in Wixom, Michigan, with annual production numbers expected to be in the 1,500-2,000 range. Production on the Supercharged Corvette, also known as the Blue Devil, will start in the first quarter of 2008 (as a 2009 model). As for its exact name—well, we’re hearing everything from Corvette SS, to Z07, to resurrecting the Stingray name!”
