As Europe continues to tighten emissions regulations, the handful of EU or U.K. citizens that appreciate the subtleties of the Chevrolet V8 and have been hoping to get into the latest performance offering from the brand are finding themselves in a pinch.
A ban on sales of any Chevy vehicle with a 6.2-litre LT1 V8 engine will take effect August 31, 2019, making the C7 Corvette and sixth-gen Camaro SS impossible to purchase new in the United Kingdom and European Union as of September 1, though used models can still be moved.
The over-460-horsepower V8 engine just doesn’t fit with Europe’s vision of a pollution-free future.
