Corvette Grand Sport 2017

For 2017, Chevrolet is releasing a Corvette Grand Sport model which is essentially a Z06 without the Z06 motor. In other words, the Grand Sport is wider, has bigger wheels and a retuned suspension to offer enthusiasts amazing track capability without having to dish out a full Z06’s MSRP.

Under the hood we find the usual LT1 6.2-litre V8 from the Stingray but with the dual-mode exhaust standard. Output is 460 horsepower mated to a seven-speed manual or eight-speed auto transmission.

Pricing has yet to be announced but likely it’ll cost only a few thousand dollars more than the stingray.
