Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 7 8 l 100 km of extra consumption

Chevrolet has just Announced the consumption data to the new Corvette Stingray. Let us remember That the Corvette Stingray riding a new 6.2 LT1 V8 with direct injection and partial disconnection of cylinders, a mode called Active Fuel Management. With 460 HP of power and a 0 to 96 km / h in 3.8 seconds, it would be logical to think That it is a car where the consumption is not at all important. It is true That Despite The size of its engine, extra tour circuit very low returns.

This leads than for example a 6.2 Chevrolet Camaro with a LS2 V8 consumes around 9.5 l / 100 km on the highway, rather than one correct view consumption has its engine displacement and power. Corvette Stingray is even more frugal. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has published the consumption data of the Stingray, que gets to homologation of 7.8 l / 100 km on the highway - "30 mpg highway" - and 13.8 l / 100 km in the city, "17 mpg city ". City consumption does not surprise, extra if.

It is in fact, the sport of its Most frugal power on sale, even more than the Porsche 911 Carrera S of 400HP, que in the United States.UU. approves a consumption in highway of 8.7 l / 100 km. Consumption record of the Corvette is only in version Achieved Coupe, Equipped with manual gearbox of seven Affairs and activating the "Eco" mode, que makes you disconnect one of the banks of cylinders. I.e. our Corvette happens to have a four-cylinder engine and 3.1 liters of displacement.

We must not forget That approval of U.S. consumption cycles are quite different from the Europeans. For a same car, European cycle throws always lower values ​​in all measurements. The American cycle is closer to reality, being relativamente required. THEREFORE, we can expect Corvette Stingray That really consume 7.8 l / 100 km on the highway. Without the "Eco" mode, the approved average is 8.4 l / 100 km, since then yes roll with eight cylinders.

To compare, GM says some sports That With The same consumption have much lower powers, citing examples: such as the Porsche Boxster or BMW Z4 sDrive35i. Corvette Stingray with automatic change has not yet received approval of consumption, but will surely consume more fuel than manually Their counterpart.
