helps achieve this revolutionary pairing of power
and fuel efficiency.
DIRECT INJECTION Direct Injection delivers fuel
directly into the combustion chamber to achieve
maximum thermal and combustion efficiency. More
than 6 million hours of computational analysis went
into developing the combustion system alone. The
result is an impressive 11.5:1 compression ratio that
increases torque, power and fuel efficiency.
VARIABLE VALVE TIMING This advanced technology
optimizes camshaft timing to improve high-rpm
horsepower and low-end torque. An intelligent
position sensor detects engine operating conditions
and adjusts the timing of intake and exhaust valves.
The result is increased power or torque when
needed, enhancing performance and bolstering
fuel consumption ratings when combined with
Active Fuel Management.

ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT The LT1 6.2L V8 engine
with Active Fuel Management is designed for peak
power when you need it and fuel efficiency when you
don’t. This technology deactivates four cylinders
when cruising at consistent speeds and offers all
eight cylinders with one touch of the accelerator.
Active Fuel Management is utilized or disabled at
