This Is How Much The 2027 C8 Corvette Grand Sport Will Cost You
Pricing for Chevrolet's 2027 C8 Corvette lineup—including dollar figures for the recently introduced Grand Sport pair—has just been revealed.
Obviously, the most interesting addition to the 2027 lineup is the Grand Sport, which starts at $88,495. The C8 GS is a $15,000 setp up from the Stingray's $73,495 point of entry, a thousand bucks more expensive than last year.
Sitting above the Grand Sport is the Grand Sport X, the all-wheel-drive hybrid version wears a $112,195 sticker, an $1,100 increase over the Corvette E-Ray it replaces.
Buyers can add the Track Performance package to the Grand Sport, which pushes the naturally aspirated model up to $109,190. That gets you Z06-style Carbon Aero, unique chassis tuning, a quad center exit exhaust system, carbon ceramic brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2R tires.
There's also a street-focused performance pack that runs $3,500 and includes brakes from the Z06 and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. Choosing the hardtop convertible adds $7000 to the base price of either Grand Sport.
The Stingray and the Grand Sport models are powered by GM's new 6.7-liter LS6 V8, producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing 6.2L LT2 V8's 490 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque. The Grand Sport X mixes in a front-mounted electric motor, with the electrified all-wheel-drive experience offering a combined output of 721 horsepower.
Chevy expects the Stingray and Grand Sport to account for the vast majority of Corvette sales. Which makes sense before you see the price increases elsewhere in the C8 lineup.
According to Car and Driver, the Z06 experiences a modest $1,700 price increase and now starts at $121,395, while the ZR1 and ZR1 X see massive increases. The ZR1 clocks in at $197,195, twenty-three racks more expensive than the car's $174,995 introductory price from just two model years ago. At the very top, the ZR1X also sees a five-figure increase from $207,395 to $227,395.
Order books for the 2027 Corvette are set to open shortly, with production expected to begin in Bowling Green, Kentucky, later this summer.

Until you drive it and compare. Base 911, which in the case of a 911 means nothing but an engine, chassis, steering wheel, seats and brakes is $132,000 and C4S is $160k
No what's crazy is the Corvette is still such a bargain compared to other mid or rear engined sports cars.
