If the Car and Driver report does come true then the new C7 Corvette performance model will not carry the old Z06 name, but rather now be known as the Z07. That sounds pretty reasonable, but a twin-turbo V8? Really?

"And if you thought a hybrid Corvette was a sharp point of discussion, how about a production version of the small-block V8 with a displacement of "significantly less than 6.2 liters" aided by twin-turbos? That's what CD believes will rest under the hood of the Z07, citing the ever-present concern for fuel economy and the fact that bitumen burners from Cadillac have given up supercharging for turbocharging. The horsepower number is predicted to be an even 600, which would be a 95-hp jump over the current Z06 and just 38 less than the late, great ZR1. Helping to keep control of all that truculent muscle will be larger tires encircling carbon-ceramic stoppers, but CD is mum on other specific changes."

A factory twin turbo V8 would be unreal, however it's kind of hard to believe Chevy would go this route. I think it's more likely we'll see a supercharged V8. Either way it would be awesome!
