A New Engine Gives the 'Vette More Power
The biggest news for the 2027 Grand Sport is in its engine. Chevy debuts a 6.7-liter small-block V8, known as the LS6. It delivers 535 ponies and 520 lb-ft, making it the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 used in a standard 'Vette to date. Power drives to the rear wheels through an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic. We don't know much about it just yet, but you can also expect a hybrid version--Grand Sport X--which adds all-wheel drive.
Performance Packages in the Grand Sport for 2027
Blurring the line between daily use and capability on the track. The Sport now features Magnetic Ride Control, Michelin Pilot Sport tires (all-season), and upgraded brakes that reduce dust and hold up better over the long haul.
From there, you can take things further depending on how track-focused you really want the car to be. The Z52 Sport Performance package adds a firmer suspension setup, summer tires, and upgraded iron brakes borrowed from the Z06. Move up another level, and the Track Performance package features carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Cup 2R tires, and more aggressive aerodynamic pieces like a larger front splitter, dive planes, and a rear wing. Chevy also introduces an available quad center-exit exhaust.
Design Tweaks Tying the Grand Sport to the Z06
The Grand Sport borrows from the wider Z06 bodywork, with its larger air intakes and a more aggressive stance. Chevy keeps the traditional Grand Sport hash marks, although they now sit on the rear fenders to emphasize the C8's mid-engine proportions. Admiral Blue Metallic returns with a new color, Pitch Gray Metallic. Chevy pairs both with optional center stripes and wheel finish choices.
A Launch Edition Makes Its Interior Debut
Inside, the Grand Sport keeps the cabin largely performance-focused, and Chevy adds model-specific touches throughout. For example, buyers can opt for the Performance Traction Management system, which allows drivers to fine-tune traction and handling settings depending on road or track conditions.
Chevy also offers a special Launch Edition package to the 'Vette that adds a Santorini Blue interior with red accents, special badging, and stitched graphics on the headrests and floor mats. The package is more appearance-focused, but it helps separate the first-year cars from the rest of the lineup.
The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport is between the Stingray and Z06 in the lineup and should be around $95,000. Production starts sometime this summer, with deliveries starting shortly afterward. Contact Banner Chevrolet for more information about the Grand Sport's arrival!
