The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is a rear-drive, mid-engine two-seater built around a new 6.7L LS6 V8 that makes 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque without a turbocharger anywhere on it. It runs 0-60 mph in 2.75 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.95 seconds at 124 mph with available equipment, wears the wide body that used to be reserved for the track cars, and opens at $86,000 before destination. Coupe or convertible, three model levels, one engine.

What makes it the Corvette worth the drive to Bentonville is the equipment Chevrolet made standard rather than optional. Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires come on every one, which is a specification aimed at real roads. On the two-lane climbs of the Ozark Plateau and the long I-49 run down toward Fayetteville, that combination is the difference between a car you take out on the good weekends and a car you actually drive. This page covers the powertrain, the model levels and pricing, the cabin, everyday practicality, safety equipment, and which configuration suits which driver.

2027 Corvette Grand Sport Engines and Powertrain

There is one engine, and it is new: the LS6, a 6.7L naturally aspirated V8 displacing 409 cubic inches. Chevrolet rates it at 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft, and describes that torque figure as the highest of any naturally aspirated production V8 ever built. It uses both direct and port injection with Active Fuel Management, and runs a 13.0:1 compression ratio, the highest Chevrolet has put in a Corvette V8.

Naturally aspirated matters here in a way that is easy to gloss over. There is no turbo lag and no boost threshold to wait through, so throttle response tracks your right foot directly at any engine speed. That is the character difference between this car and the twin-turbocharged Corvette ZR1, and it is why the Grand Sport reads as approachable on a road you do not know.

Every Grand Sport uses the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic mounted as a rear transaxle. No Corvette in this generation offers a manual. Power goes to the rear wheels only, which is the single most-confused fact about the 2027 lineup: the all-wheel-drive car is the Grand Sport X, a different vehicle with a different powertrain.

Specification	2027 Corvette Grand Sport
Engine	6.7L LS6 naturally aspirated V8
Horsepower	535 hp
Torque	520 lb-ft
Transmission	8-speed dual-clutch automatic
Drivetrain	Rear-wheel drive
0-60 mph	2.75 sec with available equipment
Quarter mile	10.95 sec at 124 mph with available equipment

The full powertrain breakdown, including how the LS6 differs from the LT2 in the 2026 Corvette Stingray, is on the Grand Sport engine page.

Grand Sport Trim Lineup and Pricing

Three model levels, all sharing the same engine, chassis and drivetrain. Nothing you pay more for makes the car faster, which means the ladder is purely about how you want to live with it.

Grand Sport 1LT

Starts at $86,000 before destination, or $88,495 with it. Standard equipment includes the removable roof panel, a Bose 10-speaker system, 8-way power GT1 seats in Mulan leather, a wireless phone charger, and the HD Rear Vision Camera with Rear Camera Mirror. This is the full-strength car: same 535 hp, same wide body, same Magnetic Selective Ride Control.

Grand Sport 2LT

Starts at $93,100 before destination. It adds a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system, heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar and wing adjustment, the Performance Data Recorder, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Side Blind Zone Alert, and a head-up display. For a car that gets driven daily between Rogers and Springdale, the ventilated seats and the blind-zone alerts are the two that earn their keep in August traffic.

Grand Sport 3LT

Starts at $97,750 before destination, or $100,245 with it. It adds 14 interior color options, a custom leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors, sueded microfiber upper trim, and GT2 seats in Napa leather. This is the one for the buyer who wants the cabin finished to the same standard as the driveline.

Model level	Starting MSRP, excluding destination	Headline additions
1LT	$86,000	Removable roof panel, Bose 10-speaker, GT1 seats, wireless charging
2LT	$93,100	14-speaker Bose, heated and ventilated seats, head-up display, blind-zone alerts
3LT	$97,750	14 interior colors, custom leather panel and doors, GT2 Napa leather seats

Both body styles are offered at every model level. The full walk through what each step buys is on the Grand Sport trims page.

Technology and Connectivity

The Grand Sport carries the redesigned Corvette cockpit: a 14-inch driver display, a 12.7-inch center touchscreen, and a 6.6-inch driver-configurable screen to the left of the wheel. The old button wall down the center console is gone.

Wireless phone projection is standard, the car is Google built-in compatible, and a wireless charging pad sits in the center console. On the performance side, every Grand Sport carries selectable drive modes, Performance Traction Management, an enhanced Performance Data Recorder and a configurable Performance App that reads out live data. One thing to know before you shop: no Corvette offers Super Cruise or adaptive cruise control, on any 2027 model.

Interior and Comfort

Seating is two, and the seat itself is the decision. GT1 is standard on 1LT and 2LT in Mulan leather. GT2 is available on 2LT and standard on 3LT, in Napa leather with carbon-fiber trim and a seatback halo. Competition Sport seats are available, wrapped in Napa leather with performance textile in the high-wear areas.

The coupe's roof panel lifts out, which turns a Saturday morning run out to Bentonville Square into an open-air car without committing to the convertible's power hardtop. Full detail on the cabin, the screens and the audio is on the Grand Sport interior page, and the shared 2026-lineup cabin coverage lives on the Corvette technology and interior page.

Cargo and Everyday Practicality

The Grand Sport carries 12.6 cubic feet of luggage space between the front trunk and the rear trunk combined. That is genuinely usable: the front trunk swallows a weekend bag and the rear trunk takes a second, which covers a run down to Devil's Den or a night out on Dickson Street without a roof rack conversation.

The coupe's removable roof panel stows in that rear trunk when it is off the car, which is what makes an open-air Saturday a five-minute decision rather than a garage project.

For the way most owners here use one, that is enough. A Grand Sport handles the I-49 commute in from Rogers or Siloam Springs on Monday and a two-night trip into the Ozark Plateau on Friday without either job feeling like a compromise, which is more than the Corvette's reputation as a garage car would suggest.

Safety and Driver Assistance

Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Park Assist and the HD Rear Vision Camera are standard across the Corvette line. On the Grand Sport specifically, the rear camera and Rear Camera Mirror are standard from 1LT, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert plus Side Blind Zone Alert become standard at 2LT.

The structure underneath is the same aluminum spaceframe the whole C8 generation is built on, and the driver-assistance suite runs on the HD Rear Vision Camera and Rear Camera Mirror from the 1LT up.

Which 2027 Corvette Grand Sport Is Right for You?

• You want the most Corvette per dollar. The 1LT coupe, from $86,000 before destination, is mechanically the whole car. See Grand Sport 1LT coupes in stock.
• It is going to be your daily driver. The 2LT, for the ventilated seats, the head-up display and the blind-zone alerts. Browse 2LT inventory.
• You want the cabin to match the driveline. The 3LT, with GT2 Napa leather seats and the custom-wrapped instrument panel.
• You want open air on demand. The coupe's removable roof panel gives you most of it; the convertible's power hardtop gives you all of it, at every model level.
• You want all-weather traction. That is the Grand Sport X, the electrified all-wheel-drive car. The two are compared side by side here, and you can see Grand Sport X inventory alongside it.

A well-equipped pick for most Northwest Arkansas buyers lands at the 2LT coupe, at $93,100 before destination, with the Z52 Sport Performance Package.
