2027 Corvette Grand Sport Trim Levels
The Corvette Grand Sport has always held a special place in American automotive history, sitting right at that sweet spot between track-ready aggression and everyday usability. For 2027, Chevrolet pushes that formula even further, delivering a wide-body C8 that feels just as alive on a canyon road as it does pulling into a parking lot.
Whether you’re a lifelong Corvette enthusiast or someone stepping into the Grand Sport badge for the first time, this trim lineup has something genuinely worth getting excited about. If you’re already curious, you can browse our new Chevrolet inventory to see what’s available for Tacoma-area drivers right now.
The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport: Wide-Body Thrills for Every Driver
The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport earns its keep through a combination of serious engineering and unmistakable visual presence. That Z06-style wide body isn’t just cosmetic. It actively improves aerodynamic stability and cornering confidence, giving the car a planted, purposeful feel that inspires real trust at speed.
Under every Grand Sport sits a 6.7-liter LS6 naturally aspirated V8 producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission and Magnetic Ride Control as standard equipment across the entire lineup. The rear wheels measure 21 inches, filling those wide fenders with exactly the stance the body demands.
What makes this generation especially compelling is how deeply personal it can become. Chevrolet has expanded customization options throughout the lineup, letting buyers build a Grand Sport that reflects their individual style without drifting outside the performance DNA the brand has spent decades cultivating. From the entry-level 1LT to the hybrid-powered Grand Sport X, the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport trim levels cover an impressive range of preferences and priorities.
The orders for the Grand Sport opened April 16, 2026, so the window to get into one is already here.
2027 Corvette Grand Sport 1LT: The Purest Way to Experience the Legend
If you believe more technology doesn’t always mean more fun, the 1LT makes a compelling case for restraint. This base trim focuses on what matters most: a driver-centered cockpit, the LS6 singing through its rev range, and a chassis tuned to reward commitment. Magnetic Ride Control reads the road surface continuously and adjusts damping in milliseconds, keeping the car composed over imperfect pavement without ever going soft when the road opens up. There’s a refreshing honesty to the 1LT experience that long-time enthusiasts genuinely appreciate.
The full 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque arrive through an 8-speed dual-clutch that snaps through ratios with mechanical precision, keeping the LS6 exactly where it wants to be in the rev range. This is rear-wheel drive at its most communicative. For the driver who wants every input and every correction to feel deliberate and connected, the 1LT is the right place to start.
2027 Corvette Grand Sport 2LT: Elevated Comfort Without Sacrificing the Rush
The 2LT takes the Grand Sport formula and layers in a thoughtful set of upgrades for drivers who actually put real miles on their cars. Enhanced seating, advanced driver assistance technology, and upgraded interior appointments round out a package that transforms the Grand Sport from a weekend weapon into something genuinely livable. The powertrain is identical to the 1LT, which means the same 535 horsepower, the same dual-clutch precision, and the same Magnetic Ride Control confidence are all present and accounted for.
Think of it as the right choice for someone who wants to feel the thrust of the LS6 on a spirited morning drive, then settle comfortably into a long highway stretch that same afternoon. The balance of performance and refinement here is well-judged. This is the buyer who drives to the track on Saturday and to dinner that night, and doesn’t want to apologize for either.
2027 Corvette Grand Sport 3LT: Maximum Luxury Meets Maximum Performance
At the top of the naturally aspirated Grand Sport range, the 3LT blurs the line between sports car and grand tourer in the best possible way. Premium Napa leather, GT2 performance seats, a high-end sound system, and deep customization options for interior color and trim combine to create a cabin that’s genuinely worthy of the machine surrounding it. The horsepower and torque figures remain identical to the 1LT and 2LT, and that’s exactly the point: peak performance, dressed in its finest clothes.
The 3LT is built for discerning drivers who refuse to choose between lap times and long-haul comfort. Buyers at this level tend to be experienced enthusiasts who know precisely what they want. The Napa leather wraps everything it touches, the GT2 seats hold you firmly through corners while staying genuinely comfortable over distance, and the level of interior customization available means no two 3LT builds need look alike.
If you want to schedule a test drive and experience the difference between trim levels firsthand, our team is ready to make that happen.
2027 Corvette Grand Sport X: The AWD Hybrid That Rewrites the Rules
The Grand Sport X is genuinely new territory for the Corvette lineage. By pairing the LS6 V8 with a front-mounted electric motor and a hybrid all-wheel-drive system, Chevrolet has created something that doesn’t fit neatly into any previous Corvette category. The electric motor doesn’t dilute the combustion engine’s character. It amplifies everything. Combined output rises to 721 horsepower, and the AWD system puts all of it to the ground with a directness that rear-wheel-drive cars simply can’t match at launch. The result is an estimated 0-to-60 time of 2.6 seconds.
That number deserves a moment. At 2.6 seconds, the Grand Sport X crosses into territory where the experience becomes almost abstract. The acceleration doesn’t build the way combustion power alone does. The front electric motor contributes torque instantly, before the LS6 has even fully awakened, and the two systems combine into a single, seamless surge that pins you to the seat with startling commitment. Grand Sport X orders open in summer 2026 for US buyers.
What Sets the Grand Sport X Apart
The Grand Sport X separates itself from the rest of the lineup through its technical ambition. The AWD hybrid architecture provides a level of all-weather traction and dynamic stability that makes the car genuinely usable across the varied conditions that drivers throughout the Pacific Northwest know intimately.
Wet pavement, variable temperatures, long spirited drives over mixed surfaces: all become more manageable without any reduction in the raw performance character the Corvette name demands. The wide-body chassis and Magnetic Ride Control carry over from the standard Grand Sport, so the foundation is exactly as capable. The Grand Sport X just expands where and how confidently you can use it.
Who Should Order the Grand Sport X
This is the right choice for drivers who want high-performance capability paired with real-world versatility. If you appreciate the Corvette legacy but also want a car that handles a rainy Tuesday commute with the same confidence as a dry Saturday track day, the Grand Sport X answers both calls.
It speaks directly to buyers who want AWD security without surrendering any of the driving engagement the Grand Sport delivers as standard. For enthusiasts curious about what a modern hybrid powertrain can genuinely add to a sports car, the Grand Sport X makes a concrete and compelling argument.
