# 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray / Grand Sport
Chevrolet readies the next generation Corvette Stingray and Grand Sport for 2027, continuing the nameplate's evolution after the mid-engine redesign that debuted in 2020. The Stingray remains the entry point into the C8 generation, while the Grand Sport returns as the performance variant with enhanced track capability.
The 2027 Stingray carries the 6.2-liter LT2 V8 producing 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. This powertrain delivers 0-60 mph in approximately 2.9 seconds for the coupe. Chevrolet offers both coupe and convertible body styles, with the targa-topped experience defining the Corvette's appeal to buyers seeking open-air performance without sacrificing rigidity.
The Grand Sport ups the ante with an identical engine but adds aggressive aerodynamics, including a distinctive front splitter, side skirts, and a functional rear wing. Suspension tuning separates the two models, with the Grand Sport receiving adjustable dampers and a lower stance optimized for road course performance. Both models feature the mid-mounted engine architecture that fundamentally shifted Corvette's handling balance and placed it on equal footing with European sports cars costing considerably more.
Pricing starts in the mid-$60,000 range for the Stingray coupe, positioning the Corvette as a value proposition in the supercar segment. The Grand Sport commands a premium for its track-focused enhancements and exclusive styling cues that telegraph its performance intent.
