2027 Corvette Grand Sport Model Review
Discover the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport in Pensacola, FL
The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport at Pete Moore Chevrolet brings a distinct performance character to Chevrolet’s mid-engine sports car lineup. It is a two-seat Corvette for drivers who want to choose their own balance of road-going comfort, performance equipment, and heritage-inspired styling. The Grand Sport shares its V8 with the Stingray while offering its own approach to styling and equipment. The choice between coupe and convertible is only the beginning. Suspension, tires, brakes, seating, and visual details all help tailor the car to your priorities.
If you enjoy open-air drives around Pensacola but also want a car suited to longer journeys, start with the roof design and cabin equipment. Drivers considering closed-course events can compare the available performance packages separately rather than assuming every Grand Sport has the same track-focused hardware.
2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Trim Levels
The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport trim levels offer three approaches to cabin equipment. Each is available as a coupe or convertible, so start with your roof preference and then compare the features you expect to use most.
- 1LT: Includes GT1 seats with Mulan leather seating surfaces, a Bose® Premium 10-speaker audio system, and a center console wireless charging pad
- 2LT: Includes heated and ventilated seats with power lumbar and bolster adjustment, a Bose Performance Series 14-speaker system, and two wireless charging pads; GT2 seats are available
- 3LT: Includes GT2 seats with Napa leather seating surfaces, a custom leather-wrapped interior package, and sueded microfiber upper interior trim; some material treatments vary with the selected interior
For a more personalized cabin, the available Grand Sport Launch Edition on the 3LT adds a Santorini Blue Dipped interior with Torch Red accents, special quilting, unique floor mats, embossed headrests, and a Launch Edition plaque. Competition Sport seats are available across the lineup.
Interior Specs and Features: A Cockpit for Two
The Grand Sport places the driver and passenger in a cockpit shaped around the drive. Both seats have standard eight-way power adjustment, while a power tilt-and-telescoping steering column helps the driver settle into position. Dual-zone automatic climate control provides separate temperature settings for each occupant.
Front legroom measures 42.8 inches, and headroom measures 37.9 inches. Both the coupe and convertible offer 12.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. For a trip from Pensacola, consider the shape of the bags you plan to bring as well as their total volume; cargo capacity is limited by weight and distribution. The center console includes lockable storage, two cup holders, a passenger grab handle, and three USB ports: two USB-C and one USB-A. These details make space for small essentials without changing the cockpit’s focus on the driver.
The available Competition Sport seats provide another choice for shoppers who want a different seat design. On the 3LT, an available mixed-seat configuration combines a Competition Sport driver’s seat with a GT2 passenger seat and requires an eligible asymmetrical interior. That choice lets each occupant have a different seat without forcing the same arrangement on both sides. Interior colors and seating combinations depend on the selected trim and options.
Exterior Design: Grand Sport Heritage in a Wide Body
The Grand Sport’s broad stance, side air inlets, and rear spoiler give the car a shape tied to its performance purpose. Both body styles measure 184.58 inches long, 79.71 inches wide without mirrors, and 48.60 inches tall before optional equipment or accessories. Those measurements help you check against a garage or parking space.
The coupe’s body-color roof panel is removable, with transparent and visible carbon fiber alternatives available. The convertible uses a power-folding hardtop and includes a power rear window with a defogger. Standard Pearl Nickel forged-aluminum wheels measure 20 inches in front and 21 inches in the rear; other wheel finishes are available.
Available Grand Sport Heritage Graphics bring hash marks and optional center stripes into the design. Their colors and placement connect the car to the Grand Sport name while leaving room for a more personal look. Color and equipment restrictions apply, so compare the combinations on the configuration you are considering.
Convertible shoppers can also select available Carbon Flash-painted roof and nacelle treatments. These treatments are not available with Black exterior paint.
Exterior Paint Options
The following colors are offered, with interior combinations and equipment restrictions varying:
- Admiral Blue Metallic
- Arctic White
- Black
- Blade Silver Metallic
- Competition Yellow Tintcoat Metallic
- Pitch Gray Metallic
- Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat
- Roswell Green Metallic
- Sebring Orange Tintcoat
- Torch Red
Some premium finishes carry an additional charge
Power and Performance: The LS6 Meets Your Choice of Chassis
The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport engine and performance package starts with a naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 rated at 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission sends power to the rear wheels, with automatic and manual shift modes. The standard performance exhaust changes its sound with the selected driver mode. The standard touring suspension pairs Magnetic Selective Ride Control with all-season performance tires. This configuration gives road-focused shoppers adaptive suspension technology without requiring a track-oriented package.
For a different setup, the available Z52 Sport Performance Package adds performance brakes and high-performance tires. Carbon-ceramic brakes are also available with the Sport package. The available Z52 Track Performance Package includes carbon-ceramic brakes, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires, a quad center-exit exhaust, and the Carbon Fiber Aero Package. Its high wing, dive planes, and carbon fiber ground effects give the track package a distinct look and a different equipment mix.
Both packages include Performance Traction Management. Compare the specific combination before deciding which one suits your routes and driving plans. Consider tire suitability and intended use before choosing a package. Summer-only tires should not be used in winter conditions; follow the operating guidance for the tires and wheels fitted to the vehicle. Closed-course driving also requires proper preparation and attention to the vehicle’s operating instructions.
Key Technology Features
The Grand Sport combines digital displays and connected features with tools for drivers interested in reviewing their time behind the wheel. Google built-in compatibility includes navigation capability, connected apps, and Natural Voice Recognition. Compatible devices, service plans, and other terms may apply.

- Performance data and video recorder: Available on the 1LT and included on the 2LT and 3LT, it gives drivers a way to review driving data and video
A color Head-Up Display is included on the 2LT and 3LT. Its Tour, Sport, and Track modes can show information such as speed, gear, and navigation directions in the driver’s view. Steering wheel controls provide access to audio, voice recognition, cruise control, and the Driver Information Center, giving the driver another way to operate commonly used functions.
Safety Review: Support for Awareness and Maneuvering
The Grand Sport includes driver-assistance features for situations such as approaching traffic or maneuvering in reverse. These systems have operating conditions and limitations; the driver must remain attentive, monitor the surroundings, and maintain control.
Five standard features include:
- Forward Collision Alert: Can warn of certain potential frontal collisions
- Automatic Emergency Braking: Can assist with braking in certain forward-collision situations
- Front Pedestrian and Bicyclist Braking: Can help the driver respond to a detected pedestrian or bicyclist ahead

Side Blind Zone Alert and Rear Cross Traffic Alert are included on the 2LT and 3LT. The 1LT has an HD Rear Vision Camera, while the 2LT and 3LT include HD front and rear vision cameras with a front curb view. A Rear Camera Mirror is standard across the lineup.
Frontal and side-impact airbags are provided for the driver and passenger. Always wear a seat belt, and never place an infant or child restraint in the front seat, even if the airbag is off. Standard Teen Driver can associate customizable settings with a key fob and provides an in-vehicle report card to help with coaching.
