[INFOGRAPHIC] The History of Corvette Horsepower


Thanks to NewGMParts.com, we have an interesting infographic to share which shows sixty-three years of Corvette Horsepower.

The infographic is a great tool to visually see how horsepower in Corvettes has evolved over the year.

The moment Zora Arkus-Duntov stuffed a 195-hp V8 in the 1955 Corvette, he started a nearly 15 year growth in Corvette’s power. Then came the 70’s where the oil embargo, EPA emmissions requirements and a lack of focus created Corvette’s lost decade (or two). That all changed with the Callaway B2K introduction in 1987 and from there the Corvette returned to form once again. From C5 through today, Chevy officially threw down the gauntlet and there is no mistake that we are now living in the golden age of horsepower.

Today, the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 with 650 horsepower is the most powerful vehicle in GM’s line-up.
