You guys remember Katech, the long time catalyst behind Corvette Racing before GM brought all competition engine development in house?

Well, their website has already made provisions for the “2018+ Corvette ZR1/Zora LT5,” do they know something we don’t?

Back in 2013 GM reapplied to trademark the LT5 moniker–the C4 ZR1 used a quad-cam small-block LT5 V8 developed by Lotus Engineering and built by Mercury Marine–leading to speculation we may see a new overhead cammed V8 in the next Corvette.

Just a year after regaining the rights to LT5, GM filed to patent the name “Zora,” which kicked off fresh speculation that GM would use that name on a special mid-engine Corvette–just like Zora Arkus-Duntov wanted.
