{{For|the 5.7 L Generation II engine of the same RPO|Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)#LT4}}
The {{cvt|6162|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} LT4 engine builds on the design strengths of the previous LS9 [[supercharged]] engine used in the sixth-generation Corvette ZR1 and leverages the technologies introduced on the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray, including direct injection, cylinder deactivation, and continuously variable valve timing, to take Corvette performance to an all-new level. The LT4 engine is based on the same Gen 5 small block foundation as the Corvette Stingray's LT1 6.2L naturally aspirated engine, incorporating several unique features designed to support its higher output and the greater cylinder pressures created by forced induction, including: Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads that are stronger and handle heat better than conventional aluminum heads, lightweight titanium intake valves, forged powder metal steel connecting rods, 10.0:1 compression ratio, enhanced performance and efficiency enabled by direct injection, forged aluminum pistons with unique, stronger structure to ensure strength under high cylinder pressures, stainless steel exhaust manifolds for structure at higher temperatures, aluminum balancer for reduced mass, and standard dry-sump oiling system with a dual-pressure-control oil pump.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lt4/|title=GM 6.2 Liter Supercharged V8 Small Block LT4 Engine|website=GM Authority|date=April 16, 2014|language=en-us|access-date=September 8, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911020726/http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lt4|archive-date=September 11, 2017|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The engine uses a {{cvt|1.7|L|cuin|1}} Eaton
