2026 Chevrolet Corvette For Sale
Five ways to build a Corvette — from the 490-hp Stingray to the 1,250-hp ZR1X — for Northwest Arkansas drivers.
The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette spans five distinct models, from the 490-hp Stingray to the 1,250-hp ZR1X that reaches 60 mph in under two seconds, and every one is a two-seat, mid-engine car hand-assembled in Bowling Green, Kentucky. That range matters across Northwest Arkansas: the same car that idles past Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art on a Friday evening can stretch its legs on a Saturday run out AR-12 toward Beaver Lake. On the Ozark Plateau a single drive can mix long interstate grades with tight secondary roads, which is why the engine and drivetrain you pick matters more here than the sticker suggests.
At George Nunnally Chevrolet we keep the whole Corvette family within reach for NWA drivers, whether you want a track-focused coupe or an all-season convertible you can enjoy year round. Browse the current Corvette inventory, line the models up side by side, and run honest numbers on our payment calculator before you commit. If you are still deciding, start with the Corvette research hub and work down to the model that fits how you actually drive.
2026 Corvette Engines and Powertrain Options
Every 2026 Corvette routes power through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic — there is no manual — and the character changes dramatically as you climb the family. Same silhouette, five very different personalities. Here is what each variant runs under the rear glass.
Stingray: 6.2L LT2 Naturally Aspirated V8
The Stingray uses a 6.2-liter LT2 naturally aspirated V8 making 490 horsepower, or 495 with the available performance exhaust. It is rear-wheel drive and, with the Z51 package, will run 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. This is the everyday Corvette, the one most NWA buyers actually live with. See the Stingray for sale for the full picture.
E-Ray: Electrified All-Wheel Drive
The E-Ray pairs a 6.2-liter V8 with a front-mounted electric motor for 655 horsepower combined. It is the first all-wheel-drive and first hybrid Corvette, it charges itself with no plug involved, and it hits 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. That added front-axle traction is what makes it genuinely all-season capable on damp Ozark backroads.
Z06: 5.5L LT6 Flat-Plane V8
The Z06 is built around a 5.5-liter LT6 naturally aspirated flat-plane V8, a high-revving engine that makes 670 horsepower at 8,400 rpm and spins to an 8,600-rpm redline. It is rear-wheel drive and unapologetically the track car of the group, with a sound unlike anything else on the road.
ZR1: 5.5L LT7 Twin-Turbo V8
The ZR1 steps up to a 5.5-liter LT7 twin-turbo V8 producing 1,064 horsepower and a 233-mph top speed. It stays rear-wheel drive and stands as the most powerful gasoline Corvette ever built.
ZR1X: Twin-Turbo V8 Plus Electric Motor
The ZR1X takes the ZR1 twin-turbo V8 and adds a front electric motor for 1,250 horsepower combined and all-wheel drive. It clears 0-60 mph in under 2.0 seconds and is, quite simply, the most powerful Corvette ever.
| Variant | Engine | Horsepower |
|---|---|---|
| Stingray | 6.2L LT2 naturally aspirated V8 | 490 hp (495 with performance exhaust) |
| E-Ray | 6.2L V8 plus front electric motor | 655 hp combined |
| Z06 | 5.5L LT6 naturally aspirated flat-plane V8 | 670 hp |
| ZR1 | 5.5L LT7 twin-turbo V8 | 1,064 hp |
| ZR1X | 5.5L LT7 twin-turbo V8 plus electric motor | 1,250 hp combined |

Technology and Connectivity
The 2026 Corvette introduces an all-new cockpit built around three screens: a 14-inch driver cluster, a 12.7-inch center touchscreen, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary display angled toward the driver. Google Built-in is standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus a Bose audio system that fills the two-seat cabin nicely. For a closer look at the layout and controls, see the technology and interior page.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, every Corvette is a strict two-seater wrapped tightly around the driver. You choose from three seat designs: GT1 for all-day comfort, GT2 for a balance of support and cushioning, and Competition Sport for aggressive bolstering when you head to the track. Coupes keep a removable roof panel that stows in back, so you get open-air driving without stepping all the way up to the full convertible — ideal for an evening cruise through town.
Cargo and Everyday Usability
A mid-engine layout does not have to mean impractical. The Corvette offers 12.6 cubic feet of total cargo space split between a front trunk and a rear trunk, dropping to roughly 9.1 cubic feet on the wide-body track cars. That is enough for a weekend away for two, a grocery run, or a set of soft bags — the kind of everyday flexibility that makes a Corvette easy to justify as more than a Sunday toy.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Every 2026 Corvette comes standard with Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Park Assist, and an HD rear camera. The Corvette does not offer Super Cruise, and it is not crash-tested by NHTSA or IIHS, so there is no published rating to point to. The driver stays firmly in control, which suits a car built to be driven.
Which 2026 Corvette Is Right for You
Match the model to how you actually drive, not just to the headline horsepower number.
Best daily driver: the Stingray in stock gives you 490 hp and real usability at the entry price.
All-weather traction: the all-wheel-drive E-Ray adds a self-charging front motor for confident all-season grip.
Track-day weapon: the 670-hp Z06 and its 8,600-rpm flat-plane V8 are built for lap times.
Top speed and flagship swagger: the 1,064-hp ZR1 tops out at 233 mph, the most powerful gas Corvette.
Quickest of all: the 1,250-hp ZR1X runs 0-60 mph in under 2.0 seconds with all-wheel drive.
A well-equipped Stingray lands in the mid-$70,000s; estimate a monthly payment to see where your pick fits your budget.
