Chevrolet has confirmed pricing for the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport, and the number that matters most is $88,495. That is the starting figure for the rear-wheel-drive coupe, destination included, and it positions the Grand Sport exactly where fans hoped it would be: squarely between the Stingray and the Z06, in both price and performance. Orders open on April 16, with production set to kick off this summer.
What You Actually Get for That Money
The headlining story is the engine. The 2027 Grand Sport is powered by Chevrolet’s all-new 6.7-liter LS6 V8, producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, a meaningful jump over the outgoing LT2’s 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft. The LS6 also comes standard on the new Stingray, but the Grand Sport adds Magnetic Ride Control, a touring suspension tuned for enthusiast driving, and standard Michelin Pilot Sport rubber.
From there, three performance packages let buyers dial in exactly how serious they want to get. The Grand Sport Performance Package runs $3,500 and swaps in Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires along with Z06-sourced high-performance brakes. Step up to the Track Performance Package and you get the full treatment: Z06-style carbon aero, a unique chassis tune, a quad center-exit exhaust, carbon-ceramic brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires, all starting at $109,190.
There is also the Grand Sport X, the AWD hybrid variant that replaces the outgoing E-Ray. It pairs the LS6 with a front-mounted electric motor for a combined 721 horsepower, and it starts at $112,195. That is nearly the same as what the E-Ray cost, despite packing substantially more power and a revised drivetrain.
Why the Grand Sport Is the Sweet Spot of the Lineup
Look at where the Grand Sport sits relative to everything else on the price chart above, and the value case starts to make itself. At $88,495, the Grand Sport costs exactly $15,000 more than the base Stingray, but that premium buys a wider body, a more capable suspension, and hardware borrowed from cars that cost significantly more. The Track Performance Package, at $109,190, still undercuts the base Z06 by more than $10,000. The Drive, while delivering Z06-spec carbon aero, ceramic brakes, and the stickiest tires in the lineup.
The Grand Sport X is arguably the most surprising number in the whole announcement. In other Corvette news, there have been price hikes across the lineup for 2027, including an $8,705 jump for the ZR1 and a $15,200 price jump for the ZR1X. The Grand Sport, by contrast, held the line. That relative restraint makes it look even more compelling when you stack it against the rest of the family.
One thing worth keeping in mind: since 2027 is the inaugural model year for the Grand Sport, dealers will likely mark the cars up. Buyers who can be patient and wait for inventory to normalize will probably be better off for it. But for anyone who has been waiting for a Corvette that offers real performance without pushing into Z06 territory on price, this one is worth paying close attention to.
