Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Next-generation LS6 6.7L V8 engine

The heart of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is the next-generation LS6 6.7L V8 engine, a powerplant designed to deliver a bold new chapter in Corvette performance. With 535 horsepower and 520 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine provides the kind of immediate response that makes every input feel meaningful. Chevrolet highlights the engine's 6.7L displacement, 100 mm stroke, and 13.0:1 compression ratio, the highest ever for a Corvette V8. A new continuously variable oil pump helps maintain optimal oil pressure in varied driving conditions, supporting both confidence and consistency. The engine is paired with an 8-speed dual clutch transmission, giving the Grand Sport rapid shifts and a direct connection between driver intent and vehicle response. Rather than relying only on peak output, the LS6 emphasizes linear performance, making acceleration feel natural, predictable, and rewarding. For enthusiasts, that matters. A great sports car should feel alive at every speed, and this Grand Sport powertrain is engineered to deliver that sensation with authority.

Wide-body aerodynamics

The Grand Sport has a sculpted wide-body chassis that is optimized for aerodynamics and visual presence. Its bold exterior is more than styling; it is designed to enhance stability and driving confidence. Chevrolet equips the Grand Sport with an integrated rear spoiler, aggressive wide side air inlets, and forged aluminum wheels that support performance while giving the car a planted stance. The proportions visually honor Corvette heritage while signaling that this model is engineered for serious driving. On open highways, tighter back roads, or controlled performance environments, aerodynamic confidence helps the vehicle feel composed and predictable. Available packages build on that foundation. The Carbon Fiber Aero Package adds components such as a high wing, dive planes, rockers, and a front splitter to enhance grip and balance on the track. For drivers who appreciate both form and function, the Grand Sport's wide-body design is a key part of its identity. It looks purposeful because it is purposeful.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0

Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0 is one of the technologies that helps the Grand Sport feel versatile and refined. A performance car must do more than accelerate quickly; it must communicate clearly with the driver while adapting to changing road surfaces and driving demands. This system is designed to help manage ride and handling characteristics with remarkable responsiveness, contributing to the Grand Sport's blend of comfort and control. For local drivers moving from city streets to rural routes and highway stretches, that adaptability can make the Corvette feel more composed in everyday use. When the road opens up, the system supports sharper confidence by helping the chassis remain settled. Combined with the mid-engine Corvette architecture, performance-focused tires, and available track-oriented hardware, Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0 helps make the Grand Sport feel precise without becoming harsh. It is an excellent example of how Chevrolet uses technology to enhance the driving experience without taking the driver out of the equation.

Performance App and Performance Data Recorder

The 2027 Grand Sport puts meaningful performance information directly in front of the driver through advanced digital tools. The fully customizable Performance App displays real-time performance data, including live graphs for horsepower and torque over selectable time intervals. It also includes data screens related to vehicle capability, helping drivers better understand how the Corvette responds in different conditions. On 2LT and above, the Performance Data Recorder adds another layer for enthusiasts who want to review driving sessions, refine technique, or simply preserve memorable performance moments. This technology pairs naturally with curated drive modes and Performance Traction Management, giving the driver a more complete view of vehicle behavior. The cabin supports this performance-first approach with large display screens and an intuitive layout that keeps attention where it belongs. Whether you are learning the car's capabilities or comparing different drive settings, these systems make the Grand Sport feel informative, modern, and connected.

Heritage-inspired customization

Grand Sport heritage is a major part of this Corvette's appeal. Chevrolet gives buyers access to available heritage-inspired accents that pay tribute to the Grand Sport sports car legacy through exclusive badging, new exterior and interior color options, an authentic center stripe, and fender hash marks. Exterior color choices include options such as NEW Admiral Blue Metallic, NEW Pitch Gray Metallic, Sebring Orange Tintcoat, Roswell Green Metallic, Arctic White, Black, Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic, Blade Silver Metallic, Torch Red, and Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. Wheel choices also add personality, including standard 20-inch front and 21-inch rear 10-spoke Pearl Nickel forged-aluminum wheels, along with available Gloss Black, Bright Polished, and Carbon Flash-painted with Bright Polished forged aluminum face wheels. Inside, shoppers can choose from seating options such as GT1, GT2, Competition Sport, and the unique Driver Competition / Passenger GT2 configuration with select interiors. The result is a Corvette that can be tailored to performance priorities, comfort preferences, and personal style.
