The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray continues its legacy with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine producing 490 horsepower, boosted to 495 with the performance exhaust, mated to an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The model maintains its signature mid-engine layout and driver-focused dynamics, delivering responsive handling and engaging driving feedback. Car and Driver notes that while the core powertrain remains unchanged, refinements in tuning and integration improve overall performance and driveability.
The new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport introduces significant upgrades focused on track readiness, including a wider track, improved cooling systems, and a more aggressive suspension setup. It draws design and engineering elements from the Z51 package and Z06 architecture, enhancing grip and stability without increasing horsepower. Priced from around $70,000 for the Stingray up to nearly $90,000 for the Grand Sport, the model line emphasizes precision handling over brute force, positioning the Grand Sport as a high-performance alternative between the base Stingray and the Z06.
