2027 Corvette Grand Sport in Roanoke, VA
Specs and Features on the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport
The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is a two-seat, rear-wheel-drive sports car for drivers who want naturally aspirated V8 power in a wide-body mid-engine design. Within the Corvette family, it shares its LS6 engine with the Stingray but stands apart with a wider body and dedicated chassis equipment. Its defining idea is choice: a touring-oriented setup for road driving, with optional packages for more focused performance use. This 2027 Corvette Grand Sport buying guide from Berglund Chevrolet Roanoke in Roanoke, VA, breaks down the performance, interior features, technology, and available configurations to help you find the right fit.
The lineup includes 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT equipment levels in both Coupe and Convertible body styles. The Coupe has a removable roof panel; the Convertible uses a power-folding hardtop. Each version keeps the same core engine and rear-wheel-drive layout, while trim and package selection shape the cabin, tires, brakes, and other equipment. The Grand Sport is distinct from the electrified, all-wheel-drive Grand Sport X.
A Driver-First Cabin Built Around Two Seats
The Grand Sport’s cockpit puts the driver and one passenger at the center of the experience. Both body styles have 37.9 inches of front headroom, 42.8 inches of front legroom, and 12.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. That provides space for a pair of travel bags, though their shape and size will determine how they fit.
- Seating: Two bucket seats, with GT1 seats standard on 1LT and 2LT and GT2 seats standard on 3LT; GT2 seats are also available on 2LT
- Adjustability: Eight-way power adjustment for both front seats is standard. 2LT and 3LT add power lumbar and bolster adjustment and seat-memory features
- Seat comfort: Heated and ventilated driver and passenger seats are included on 2LT and 3LT; they are not standard on 1LT
- Cabin control: Dual-zone automatic climate control and a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column are standard across the lineup
- Storage: The lockable center console and two cup holders provide compact in-cabin storage; the car also has 12.6 cubic feet of cargo area
GT1 seats use Mulan leather seating surfaces. The 3LT’s GT2 seats feature Napa leather, while available Competition Sport seats offer another seating shape, with upholstery varying by configuration. Interior trims, colors, and stitching choices vary, so compare the specific equipment and materials on the vehicle you are considering.
Wide-Body Design with a Choice of Roof
The Grand Sport’s wide stance is more than a visual cue: its 79.71-inch body width and 66.32-inch front and 66.08-inch rear track widths give it a broader footprint than the Stingray. It measures 184.58 inches long, 48.6 inches high, and 107 inches between the axles. Carbon Flash accents, sculpted side vents, LED headlamps, and a rear spoiler give the exterior a performance-focused identity.
The Coupe comes with a removable body-color roof panel, with other removable-roof choices available. The Convertible’s power-folding hardtop gives drivers a different way to open the cabin to the elements. Standard forged-aluminum wheels measure 20 inches at the front and 21 inches at the rear, finished in Pearl Nickel; other wheel finishes are available. Standard tires are performance all-season tires, while performance packages change tire and brake equipment.
Exterior paint choices include:
- Arctic White
- Black
- Torch Red
- Blade Silver Metallic
- Pitch Gray Metallic
- Admiral Blue Metallic
- Roswell Green Metallic
- Sebring Orange Tintcoat
- Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic
- Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat
Some paint colors carry an additional charge, and color combinations can have restrictions.
Power With Road and Track Choices
Every 2027 Corvette Grand Sport uses a naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission offers automatic and manual modes, and power goes to the rear wheels. This shared powertrain lets shoppers focus on body style, cabin equipment, and the performance setup that fits their driving plans.
The standard configuration pairs a touring suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control, touring brakes, and all-season performance tires. The performance exhaust changes its sound with the selected driver mode. Available Z52 packages change the setup for more demanding use:
- Z52 Sport Performance Package: Adds performance brakes, high-performance summer tires, and Performance Traction Management
- Z52 Track Performance Package: Adds carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, Performance Traction Management, quad center-exit exhaust, and carbon-fiber aerodynamic equipment
- Package selection: Tires, brakes, and aero equipment vary by configuration; compare the actual vehicle and intended use rather than assuming track-focused hardware is standard
Summer-only tires and track-oriented components require attention to operating conditions and Chevrolet’s usage guidance. Choose equipment for where and how you plan to drive, and reserve closed-course driving for appropriate venues.
Digital Displays and Connectivity for the Driver
Three displays organize the Grand Sport’s driving information and cabin functions: a 14-inch Driver Information Center, a 12.7-inch center display, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen. Google Built-In compatibility, including navigation capability and connected apps, is part of the infotainment system. Connected functions and smartphone integration depend on compatible devices, connectivity, and service terms.
Five technology highlights include:
- 14-inch Driver Information Center: Presents key vehicle and driving information ahead of the driver
- 12.7-inch center display: Provides the main infotainment interface with Google Built-In compatibility
- 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen: Adds another display for vehicle and performance-related functions
- Wireless phone integration: Supports Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for compatible phones
- Audio, charging, and display options: 1LT includes a Bose® 10-speaker system and one wireless charging pad; 2LT and 3LT include a 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system, a color Head-Up Display, and two charging pads
Standard Driver Assistance and Safety Equipment
The Grand Sport includes driver-assistance features alongside active handling, stability control, and traction control. A Rear Camera Mirror and Rear Park Assist are standard across the three trims. Frontal and side-impact airbags with a passenger-sensing system are also included. These systems can support awareness in certain situations, but they do not replace attentive driving.
Five standard driver-assistance features include:
- Forward Collision Alert
- Automatic Emergency Braking
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking
- Intersection Automatic Emergency Braking
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning
Equipment can vary with configuration. Review the Owner’s Manual for system limitations and operating instructions, and remain attentive to traffic, road conditions, and the vehicle’s surroundings.
