Corvette Grand Sport X revealed
Chevrolet unveiled the wild new Corvette Grand Sport X at the Vancouver Auto Show — a concept that’s already turning heads for its aggressive design and supercar‑adjacent styling cues. The Vancouver lineup also featured high‑end exotics like Ferrari Roma Spider, McLaren Senna, Lamborghini Countach and Daytona SP3, underscoring the show’s performance‑car focus. (x.com) (x.com)
Chevrolet’s new sixth‑generation small‑block — the LS6 — displaces 6.7 liters (409 cu in), carries a 100 mm stroke and 13.0:1 compression ratio, and is rated at 535 hp and 520 lb‑ft of torque for the Grand Sport. (chevrolet.com) The Grand Sport X pairs that LS6 V8 with an electrified front axle for an electrified all‑wheel‑drive layout that gives a combined 721 hp, routes 145 lb‑ft of torque to the front wheels, and stores energy in a 1.9 kWh tunnel‑mounted lithium‑ion battery. (chevrolet.com) The Grand Sport X inherits the ZR1X’s front e‑motor architecture — a unit reported at about 186 hp feeding the front axle — which is the technical link that pushes the model above the standard Grand Sport in combined output. (motortrend.com) GM is phasing the E‑Ray out in favor of the Grand Sport X as the hybrid, AWD Corvette offering for 2027, with multiple outlets reporting the Grand Sport X as the successor to the E‑Ray. (edmunds.com) Chevrolet says the Grand Sport will go on sale this summer with the Grand Sport X following in the fall, and the initial 2027 Launch Edition adds Santorini Blue‑dipped interior trim, embossed headrests and a waterfall badge plaque. (motortrend.com) Chevrolet projects the Stingray and new Grand Sport family to account for the majority of Corvette volume in the 2027 model year, with the company expecting those trims to represent roughly 70% of Corvette sales by the end of the 2027 model year.
