Video: 1000hp Chevrolet ZZ632/1000 V8 roars into life
The new 10.3-litre 'big-block' V8 Goliath kicks over for the first time on video. Watch it here.
Chevrolet Performance has released the first footage of its new 10.3-litre V8 ‘ZZ632/1000’ crate motor in action… and it’s very loud.
The 'big-block' petrol engine – which produces a Bugatti Veyron-like 746kW/1188Nm – makes peak power at 5600rpm, and revs to a 7000rpm redline.
The newest footage shows the motor on dynamometer mounts at a Chevrolet testing facility, gradually accelerating for 11 seconds before returning to idle.
According to its US-based manufacturer, the ZZ632/1000 can be purchased from Chevrolet and dropped straight into chassis-based restoration projects straight out of the box.
The engine is backed by a three-year factory warranty, and pricing will start from $US38,000 ($AU50,000) in the USA when it goes on sale in early 2022. It's currently unclear if Chevrolet plans to deliver the V8 to Australian customers.
