Where the cutting edge of the future meets the iconic heritage of performance cars, you’ll find the all-new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport. The Grand Sport name should be familiar to racing enthusiasts—it’s been around since 1963, when the original model was developed in secret to challenge the heavy hitters in the international racing scene.
While that run produced only five vehicles in total, it launched a legend: the nameplate returned in 1996 to celebrate the end of the Corvette’s fourth generation, and again from 2010 to 2017, pairing the base Corvette engine with the wider body of the Z06 variant.
Back again for the 2027 model year, the latest Grand Sport features a new V8 engine that pairs beautifully with a wide body that gives you the aerodynamics you need to rule the track and the street alike. Here at Jim Ellis Chevrolet, we’re proud to be your dealership of choice when it comes to this iconic performance car, and we’re here to give you all the details about the all-new Grand Sport and what it has to offer.
Pure Performance
We won’t bury the lede here: the Corvette Grand Sport is built to deliver thrilling performance. Able to go from 0-60 mph in 2.75 seconds and clear a quarter mile in 10.95 seconds, this model is faster than the Stingray and only slightly less lightning-fast than the Z06. Sharing its engine with the Stingray and its wide body with the Z06, the Grand Sport offers a perfect sweet spot between the two.
The Powerful LS6 V8 Engine
Under the hood, you’ll find a naturally-aspirated LS6 6.7L V8 engine. Its 13.0:1 compression ratio is the highest ever for a Corvette V8, so you can drive with confidence knowing you’re enjoying the cutting edge of performance.
Delivering up to 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, this engine really packs a punch. And maximum torque isn’t all that Chevy is concerned about—they’ve also designed a torque curve tuned to deliver optimal performance and control.
A new continuously variable oil pump gives you optimal oil pressure no matter your driving conditions, so that you can enjoy peak performance at any speed, no matter the weather. The standard eight-speed dual-clutch transmission pairs the heightened control of a manual with the smooth shifting of an automatic, giving you the best of both worlds.
Built for Enthusiasts
It’s not just the engine and transmission; every element of the Corvette Grand Sport is designed with performance enthusiasts in mind. The body itself has a wide stance and is sculpted to provide both a sharp look and exceptional aerodynamics. Wide side air inlets and an integrated rear spoiler are just a few examples of exterior elements that are both functional and fashionable.
At the rear of the car, you’ll find a quad-center exhaust that turns every throttle input into a satisfying roar so that you can enjoy the ride with all your senses.

With this information at your fingertips, you can hone your driving skills and be the best you can be out on the track.
Of course, you don’t want to be looking at your screens much while you’re actually in action behind the wheel. Luckily, you can use the enhanced performance data recorder to track your progress after you’ve crossed the finish line.
With this tool, you can see detailed graphs that analyze your performance from lap to lap and look at video playback to compare different laps or different driving sessions side-by-side. You can even get automated coaching tips for how to increase your performance in the future, so you’ll get better and better the more you drive.
You can access all of these insights directly through the vehicle’s displays, so there’s no need to transfer data to your phone or laptop. You can review your data right away and use it to improve your very next lap in mere moments.
