Key Features of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Next-generation LS6 6.7L V8 Engine

The centerpiece of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is its next-generation LS6 6.7L V8 engine. Chevrolet rates this engine at 535 horsepower and 520 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful standard engine ever offered in a Corvette according to the referenced OEM content. The Grand Sport’s engine is engineered for immediate, linear performance, which means the response feels direct and predictable instead of abrupt or disconnected. With 6.7L displacement, a 100 mm stroke, and a 13.0:1 compression ratio, the LS6 is built to deliver the kind of naturally engaging power Corvette enthusiasts appreciate. Chevrolet also notes a new continuously variable oil pump designed to provide optimal oil pressure in all conditions. Paired with the 8-speed dual clutch transmission, the Grand Sport channels that output with quick, decisive gear changes. This is a sports car designed to make the driver feel involved, whether easing through town or exploring a favorite stretch of open road.

Wide-body Aerodynamics

The Grand Sport’s exterior is more than dramatic. It is functional, sculpted, and tied directly to performance. Chevrolet describes a wide-body chassis optimized for aerodynamics, with an integrated rear spoiler, aggressive wide side air inlets, and forged aluminum wheels. Those elements work together to enhance stability and give the driver more confidence at speed. The wider stance also visually connects the 2027 Grand Sport to the Corvette performance lineage, giving it the purposeful look enthusiasts expect from this nameplate. The design is athletic without feeling excessive, and the available heritage-inspired accents add even more presence. Shoppers can explore colors such as NEW Admiral Blue Metallic, NEW Pitch Gray Metallic, Sebring Orange Tintcoat, Roswell Green Metallic, Arctic White, Black, Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic, Blade Silver Metallic, Torch Red, and Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat. Available center stripe treatments, fender hash marks, and exclusive badging make the Grand Sport feel like a modern tribute to an enduring Corvette story.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0

Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0 is a major part of what gives the Grand Sport its compelling dual personality. A great performance car needs more than power; it needs composure, responsiveness, and the ability to adapt to changing road conditions and driving intentions. This system helps support a more refined ride when cruising and a more focused feel when the pace increases. In areas with elevation changes, sweeping curves, and varied pavement, that kind of adaptability matters. The Grand Sport is built for drivers who want feedback and confidence, not harshness for its own sake. Paired with the wide-body setup and available performance packages, Magnetic Selective Ride Control™ 4.0 helps the Corvette feel planted and communicative. The Z52 Sport Performance Package adds performance brakes and high performance tires for increased stopping power and road grip, while the Z52 Track Performance Package adds carbon ceramic brakes, Pilot Sport Cup 2 R performance tires, the quad center exhaust, and the Carbon Fiber Aero Package for a more track-focused setup.

Performance App and Performance Data Recorder

The 2027 Grand Sport brings serious technology into the performance experience. Chevrolet highlights large display screens, curated drive modes, and informative performance apps that keep the driver at the center of the action. The fully customizable Performance App displays performance data in real time, including live graphs for horsepower and torque over selectable time intervals, along with additional data screens related to vehicle capability. For shoppers who enjoy learning the car and improving driving technique, that information adds a deeper layer of involvement. The available Performance Data Recorder, included on 2LT and 3LT models, allows drivers to capture and review performance information in a more complete way. Enhanced Performance Data Recorder and Performance Traction Management further support the Grand Sport’s enthusiast-focused mission. This is not technology added just for novelty. It is integrated around the way Corvette drivers think, drive, evaluate, and refine. Whether you care about lap consistency, throttle inputs, or simply understanding the car better, this technology makes the Grand Sport more rewarding.

Driver-focused Interior and Seating Choices

Inside, the Grand Sport is anchored by a driver-focused command center that places controls, displays, and information where performance-minded drivers expect them. The cabin feels purposeful while still offering the comfort expected in a modern Corvette. Seating choices add meaningful personalization. The GT1 seat, standard on 1LT and 2LT, is wrapped in genuine Mulan leather and designed for long-distance comfort and support. The GT2 seat, available on 2LT and standard on 3LT, features carbon-fiber trim with a seatback halo and genuine Napa leather. Available Competition Sport seats are wrapped in Napa leather with performance textile in high-wear areas, while 1LT uses performance textile across the entire seat. Chevrolet also offers a unique Driver Competition and Passenger GT2 configuration with the Asymmetrical Adrenaline Red interior or Asymmetrical Santorini Blue interior. The Interior Launch Edition adds custom stitching, a Santorini Blue Dipped interior, embossed headrest logos, and a waterfall badge interior plaque. From comfort to support to visual drama, the Grand Sport cabin feels crafted for enthusiasts.
