What makes the Blue Devil such a hot item is its engine. It has been reported that under its sleek hood, the potent LS7 V8 has been bumped up to 600-horsepower, thanks to reworked internal components as well as a high-boost supercharger and intercooler combo, the latter confirmed by witnesses who heard the audible whine of the blower. While high-performance Vettes have always used more cubes to gain crucial power advantages over their naturally aspirated V8s, the idea of a supercharger doesnt seem that far fetched considering Cadillacs recent addition of blowers for the V-model XLR and STS.
For a vehicle thats slated to be the modern day equivalent of the rare, but brutally powerful L88 Stingray, or the two-of-a-kind ZL1, the Blue Devil will pack more than just a powerful punch. To go along with this blueprinted motor, the sharky C6 will shed its skin for a new kind of resin. While fiberglass has long been used in Corvettes for its light weight and relatively cheap cost, body panels for the Blue Devil will be constructed out of carbon fiber. Combined with other lightweight components in the suspension, chassis and interior, it has been projected that the halo Vette will tip the scales at just 2,900 lbs.
