Overview
- General Motors verified that the 2027 Corvette Stingray reached a 200 mph top speed in company testing using a standard narrow‑body 1LT coupe.
- The Stingray’s new 6.7‑liter LS6 naturally aspirated V8 is rated at 535 horsepower and 520 lb‑ft of torque and replaces the outgoing 6.2‑liter LT2.
- GM published straight‑line figures showing 0–60 mph in 2.8 seconds and a quarter mile in 11.0 seconds with a 124 mph exit speed for the tested car.
- Chevrolet lists the Stingray’s base price at $73,495 which places it below rivals as the least expensive new car in North America verified to reach 200 mph.
- GM cautioned that the 200 mph result applies to the narrow‑body 1LT configuration and that Z51 and widebody variants can change gearing and add downforce that reduce top speed.
