Overview
- Chevrolet, in a YouTube video titled “Meet the New Grand Sport,” called the Grand Sport the final piece of the eighth-generation Corvette lineup.
- The confirmed C8 range now consists of Stingray, Z06, Grand Sport, and ZR1, with each offered as a coupe or a convertible.
- High-performance X versions sit above the Grand Sport and ZR1, and the Grand Sport X will replace the hybrid E-Ray in the 2027 lineup.
- The Grand Sport uses a new 6.7-liter V-8 rated at 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque, marking a bold step in the Corvette’s powertrain strategy.
- The Corvette’s chief engineer said no further C8 grades are planned beyond the Grand Sport, though minor tweaks will continue as work advances on a future C9.
