In the early 1960s, the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport stalked racetracks across the U.S. and Europe and was a constant nightmare for many European sports car manufacturers. The Grand Sport moniker was dormant until 1996 when it was revived during the final year of the fourth-generation Corvette.
The recipe for creating a Corvette Grand Sport is very simple: all one needs to do is add the Corvette Z06’s wider body panels, tires, and suspension components to the regular Corvette Stingray’s power plant.
The sixth-generation Corvette got the Grand Sport variant in 2010 and the seventh-generation Corvette gains the Grand Sport variant this summer as a 2017 model.
What’s New The 2017 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport get’s the Z06’s cooling system, wider rear fenders, a similar grille, and front 19 inch and rear 20 inch alloy rims, wrapped in 285/30 and 335/25 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The optional Magnetic Ride Control (adjustable dampers) from the standard Corvette Stingray comes on the Corvette Grand Sport. It gets the Z06’s specially tuned anti-roll bars and front and rear transverse composite leaf springs.
The Grand Sport’s trademark side fender stripes are optional and come in six colors. The full-length stripes are also available.
