Lot #1349 - This 2019 Chevrolet Yenko Corvette Stage II is powered by a 6.8-liter V8 engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters. This is #5 of 25 built, signed and numbered, and has 42 actual miles. This limited-production Yenko Corvette is based on the 2019 Grand Sport, where SVE (Specialty Vehicle Engineering) worked its magic by taking the 6.2-liter engine to 6.8 liters with an aluminum block, race-quality forged 4340 steel crankshaft, H-beam rods and forged aluminum pistons. The engine also uses the cylinder heads off the LT4 V8, which are CNC-ported for increased air flow. Then it received a custom supercharger, a bigger throttle body, dual-mode stainless-steel exhaust, different turning and a larger blower that pushes out 25 percent more boost. The engine has a final power output of 1,000hp and 875 lbs/ft of torque. It also includes Magnetic Ride Control, differential electronic limited-slip, Brembo performance brakes, and performance-tuned suspension with unique bushings and stabilizer bars. The exterior is finished in Sebring Orange Tintcoat, and SVE adds an array of exclusive exterior features that no one will be able to ignore, like the hood with special SYC graphics, color-matched Yenko-branded brake calipers, Yenko crest badges and black hood and side stripes. It also gets decked out with black 20-inch wheels featuring black-finished spokes with SYC center caps, Michelin PS4S summer tires and body-color calipers. The inside features performance seats with unique SYC badging, Yenko-embroidered floormats, Yenko doorsill plates and a Yenko crest power badge letting everyone know the car is #5 of 25 built |
