C8 Corvette Roars Back With Dual Grand Sport Variants
TL;DR Summary
Chevrolet revives the Grand Sport on the C8 Corvette with a rear‑drive Grand Sport powered by a new 6.7L LS6 V-8 producing 535 hp and 520 lb-ft, paired exclusively with an eight‑speed dual‑clutch, while the Grand Sport X arrives in 2027 as an AWD variant using hybrid tech from the ZR1X to reach 721 hp and add track modes like Qualifying Mode; both models borrow the Z06/ZR1 aero and chassis traits, offer options such as carbon brakes, Cup tires, and a center-exit exhaust, and Chevrolet aims for a base price under $100k for the rear‑drive model, positioning it between the Stingray and Z06 with a broader customization program.
