The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport comes in three model levels, 1LT, 2LT and 3LT, spanning $86,000 to $97,750 before destination. Every one of them uses the same 535-hp 6.7L LS6 V8, the same 8-speed dual-clutch automatic, the same rear-wheel drive and the same Z06-derived wide body, so the ladder buys equipment and materials rather than speed.

George Nunnally Chevrolet stocks the Grand Sport in both body styles, and this page walks each model level in full, puts them side by side, works through the two comparisons buyers actually run, and ends with a step-up guide. If you want the wider picture first, the Grand Sport overview covers the car as a whole.

2027 Corvette Grand Sport Trim Lineup at a Glance

Model level	Starting MSRP, excluding destination	Who it is for
1LT	$86,000	The driver who wants the whole mechanical car and spends nothing on trim
2LT	$93,100	The daily driver, for the comfort and awareness equipment
3LT	$97,750	The buyer who wants the cabin finished to match the driveline

Coupe and convertible are offered at all three levels. Every Grand Sport, whatever the badge on the sill plate, carries Magnetic Selective Ride Control, Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires, eBoost-assisted Brembo brakes with 6-piston front and 4-piston rear monobloc calipers, and 20-inch front with 21-inch rear 10-spoke forged aluminum wheels.

Trim-by-Trim Breakdown

2027 Corvette Grand Sport 1LT

Starting MSRP $86,000 excluding destination, $88,495 with it. Available engines: the 6.7L LS6 naturally aspirated V8 is the only engine offered, at 535 hp and 520 lb-ft. Drivetrain is rear-wheel drive, with the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. Both the coupe, with its removable roof panel, and the power-hardtop convertible are available here.

Standard equipment includes the Bose 10-speaker premium system, 8-way power GT1 seats in Mulan leather seating surfaces, a wireless phone charger, and the HD Rear Vision Camera with Rear Camera Mirror. Both Z52 packages are available. Who it is for: the buyer who would rather put the money into the Z52 Track Performance Package than into interior trim.

2027 Corvette Grand Sport 2LT

Starting MSRP $93,100 excluding destination, a $7,100 step from the 1LT. Same engine, same drivetrain, same body-style choice. It includes everything on the 1LT and adds the 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound 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. GT2 seats become available here.

Who it is for: anyone whose Grand Sport is going to do the SE Walton Blvd errand run and the Bella Vista commute as well as the good drives. Ventilated seats and blind-zone alerts are daily-use equipment, and the head-up display keeps your eyes up on roads that turn.

2027 Corvette Grand Sport 3LT

Starting MSRP $97,750 excluding destination, $100,245 with it, a $4,650 step from the 2LT. It includes everything on the 2LT and adds 14 interior color options, a custom leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors, sueded microfiber upper interior trim, and standard GT2 seats in Napa leather seating surfaces.

Who it is for: the owner who is going to keep the car a long time and wants the cabin to hold up and read as special every time the door opens. The GT2 seat, with its carbon-fiber trim and seatback halo, is the piece people notice first.

Common Grand Sport Trim Comparisons

Grand Sport 1LT vs 2LT

This is the one most buyers actually decide, and $7,100 separates them. The 1LT is the complete mechanical car and the entry point into the lineup, and it takes both Z52 packages, so a 1LT with the Track package is a faster and more focused car than a 3LT without one. The 2LT spends its money on the hours you are not driving quickly: ventilated seats, a head-up display, the two blind-zone alerts, and eight more speakers.

The honest frame is duty cycle. If the Grand Sport is going to be a weekend car that lives in a garage between good drives, the 1LT plus a Z52 package puts the money where the road is. If it is going to take the AR-102 run over to Centerton on a Tuesday and sit in Rogers traffic on a Thursday, the 2LT's equipment is used every single day.

Grand Sport 2LT vs 3LT

$4,650 separates these, and it is the narrowest step on the ladder. Both carry identical performance hardware and identical driver-assistance equipment. What the 3LT adds is material: GT2 seats in Napa leather as standard rather than as an option, a custom leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors, sueded microfiber upper trim, and a 14-color interior palette instead of a short list.

Buyers who order GT2 seats on a 2LT are usually most of the way to a 3LT already, and at that point the remaining money buys the panel and door treatment. The 3LT is the choice for a long-term keeper; the 2LT is the choice when the interior color you want is already on the shorter list.

The Grand Sport Value Verdict and Step-Up Guide

Step	Price difference	What you get
1LT to 2LT	$7,100	14-speaker Bose Performance Series, heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar and wing adjust, Performance Data Recorder, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Side Blind Zone Alert, head-up display
2LT to 3LT	$4,650	14 interior color options, custom leather-wrapped instrument panel and doors, sueded microfiber upper trim, standard GT2 Napa leather seats
1LT to 3LT	$11,750	Everything above, combined

The coupe-to-convertible choice is a separate, lateral decision rather than a rung: it changes how you use the car, not how well equipped it is, and it is offered at every model level.

One local note on that step-up table. The equipment the 2LT adds is worth more here than the same list would be in a flatter, cooler market. Ventilated seats earn their keep from May through September, and the head-up display matters on the AR-102 and AR-112 two-lanes west of town, where the corners arrive faster than the signage suggests. Both figures above are price differences before destination, not the prices themselves.

Which Grand Sport Trim Is Right for You?

If you are putting money into performance hardware

The 1LT, and add the Z52 Track Performance Package. That combination brings carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, quad center exhaust and the Carbon Fiber Aero Package, which is where the money changes how the car drives. See Grand Sport inventory.

If this is your everyday car

The 2LT. Ventilated seats matter in an Arkansas August, and the blind-zone alerts matter in a low car surrounded by trucks on I-49 and US-71B. Browse 2LT coupes and convertibles.

If you are keeping it for a decade

The 3LT. The GT2 Napa leather seats, the wrapped instrument panel and the microfiber upper trim are the parts of a cabin that decide how a car feels at year eight.

If you want open air

The convertible, at whatever model level suits the rest of your list. Its power hardtop makes an open car a 10-second decision rather than a stowage exercise, which is the difference on a spring evening ride along the Razorback Regional Greenway corridor.

If you want all-weather traction

The 2027 Grand Sport X, which pairs this same LS6 V8 with a front electric drive motor for 721 combined horsepower and electrified all-wheel drive. See Grand Sport X inventory, or read the full comparison.

If you are cross-shopping the wider Corvette range

The 2026 Corvette models compared page puts the Stingray, E-Ray, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X side by side, which is the right next read if the Grand Sport is one of several cars on your list.

Shop Grand Sport Trims at George Nunnally Chevrolet

We are at 2700 SE Moberly Ln in Bentonville, off SE Walton Blvd, an easy run for buyers coming up from Springdale or Fayetteville, across from Bella Vista, over from Centerton on AR-102, or east from Siloam Springs on US-412. Corvette allocation is limited and configurations move, so the practical step is to tell us the model level, body style and seat you want and let us tell you what is on the ground or inbound.

Most Grand Sport buyers we see are cross-shopping two model levels rather than all three, and the decision usually turns on where the car sleeps and how often it moves. A Rogers or Springdale owner with a daily commute lands on the 2LT more often than not, and so does most of the Fayetteville trade. A buyer whose Corvette comes out for the good roads tends to run the 1LT with a Z52 package instead.

Call (479) 319-2494, schedule a test drive, start a pre-approval, or value your trade.

2027 Corvette Grand Sport Trim FAQs

How many trims does the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport have?

Three: 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. Each is offered as a coupe or a convertible.

What is the difference between the Grand Sport 1LT and 2LT?

$7,100 and a package of comfort and awareness equipment. The 2LT 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, Side Blind Zone Alert and a head-up display. The engine, drivetrain and chassis are identical.

Does a higher Grand Sport trim make the car faster?

No. All three model levels use the same 535-hp 6.7L LS6 V8, the same 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and the same rear-wheel drive. Performance changes come from the Z52 packages, which are available on all three.

Which Grand Sport trim has the GT2 seats?

GT2 seats in Napa leather are standard on the 3LT and available on the 2LT. The 1LT and 2LT come standard with 8-way power GT1 seats in Mulan leather. Competition Sport seats, in Napa leather with performance textile in the high-wear areas, are also available.

How much is a fully loaded 2027 Corvette Grand Sport?

The 3LT starts at $97,750 excluding destination, which is $100,245 with destination included, before any packages or individual options are added.

Can I get the Z52 packages on the base Grand Sport?

Yes. Both the Z52 Sport Performance Package and the Z52 Track Performance Package are available on the 1LT, 2LT and 3LT. The Z52 packages page covers exactly what each one includes.

Is the Grand Sport convertible more expensive than the coupe?

The convertible carries a price step over the coupe at each model level. Call (479) 319-2494 for the current figure on the configuration you want, since it is quoted against the build you are ordering.

Which Grand Sport trim holds its value best?

Resale on a Corvette tracks configuration and condition more than model level, and the LS6 cars are the first of their generation. The most reliable thing to do is bring your list in and let us walk the build sheet with current market values in front of us.
