Chevrolet announced one of its storied monikers in the illustrious racing heritage of Corvette- the Grand Sport at the Corvette Birthday Bash in Kentucky.

The Grand Sport is styled with a wide body and has a racetrack like suspension which makes it a distinctive performer.

The engine capacity is 6.2 L and with the exhaust system meeting the standards, it is at 430 horsepower which can be elevated to 436 horsepower rating by a two-mode exhaust system which is optional.

The wheels of the new Corvette are very wide. Interestingly, it offers enhanced handling performance as compared to the previous version of the Corvette-the Z51.

The Grand Sport features a unique combination of performance and services. The roofs on the coupes are removable and the Z06 comes with the only choice of manual transmission. The coup models have a dry oiling system and differential cooler plus a battery which is mounted at the rear. The Grand sport is available in four trim levels which include all that it generally offers, in all standard Corvette colours.
