I believe the Lotus GT-1 was 6.0 Liter

Renewing their ties with General Motors, they managed to get hold of a set of 5.7L LT5 V8’s. Lotus had helped develop this engine for the Corvette ZR1 when it was still a GM subsidiary. The engine was fitted with a flat-plane crankshaft and its displacement was increased to 6.0L. It eventually developed 615 horsepower with FIA-mandated 36mm intake restrictors.
