Good point. However, not being an engineer, I don't see what there is to do, if they decide to keep the flat-6 configuration going. Sooner or later they'll at least have to switch to the flat-8 architecture.
I have a question, though: With all the talk about the flat-6 being limited to approx. 4 litres of displacement (about 660 cc per cylinder), how can a Corvette do with 7 litres out of 8 cylinders? That makes it almost 900 ccs per cylinder and it can still rotate at 7000 rpm. So why couldn't a flat-6 be enlarged to 5 litres?
Is it the engine layout, or anything else?



I think,the biggest flat6 has 4.4l of displacement.It's was build by the tuner Koro.
