[PICS] Chevy to Offer Multiple Colors for its LS6 Engine Covers

When Chevrolet first released the C8 Corvette back in 2020, the decision was made to offer a standard Black engine cover for the LT2, with buyers having the opportunity to upgrade to either a Red or Silver version for an additional $500 or so. Many buyers immediately upgraded to one of the more colorful engine covers and then the aftermarket took off with customizations that launched the engine cover design to a whole new level.

It looks like history is going to repeat itself as we have identified three colors for the LS6 engine cover so far.

Just after Chevrolet made its preview lap of the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport at the 12 Hours of Sebring, they released a teaser video that showed the new LS6 for the first time and it was wearing the bright red engine cover. In all the videos we saw from the YouTubers who were invited to the reveal at Spring Mountain, that engine on display also featured a cover in Red.

However, we think the standard LS6 engine cover will be offered in Black as this screen shot from the Chevrolet’s official next generation V8 animation shows:

Until we get our hands on the Order Guide, we won’t know for sure if Black is the standard color, so that’s just speculation for now. However, GM never misses an opportunity to upsell the standard option with something more colorful as we saw on the LT2 covers, so we think it’s a pretty guess.

At an employee-only reveal event held at the Corvette Assembly Plant, this LS6 engine was displayed wearing a very dynamic Blue engine cover that appears to match the Admiral Blue exteriors that will be offered in 2027.

So far, this Blue engine cover is our favorite of the three.

Which one of these are you selecting, or will you wait for the aftermarket to really add some colors to the next-generation V8 under glass? Let us know in the comments below!
