The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport Starts At $88,495, Just $15K More Than the Base Stingray

Now that an updated V-8 and two new Grand Sport-branded models have been announced, we have finally seen everything the C8 Corvette has to offer. Now, we know exactly what those Grand Sport models are going to cost, as Chevrolet released the official pricing for the 2027 model year sports cars on Monday.

The basic Grand Sport starts at $88,495 after a delivery and freight charge. That puts it exactly $15,000 above the $73,495 starting price for the Stingray, which is a slight bump for the 2027 model year. It also means that the new GS is the cheapest entry point to GM’s widebody C8 shape yet, coming in more than $20,000 below the starting price of the outgoing Corvette E-Ray hybrid.

Buyers looking for a more track-ready Grand Sport will have to pay $109,190 for the standard car with a Track Performance Package, which adds carbon fiber aero, a quad-exit exhaust, Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, carbon ceramic brakes, and all-important GS-specific chassis tuning.

If you want the E-Ray’s direct replacement, the all-wheel drive Grand Sport X, bidding starts at $112,195. That represents just an $1100 bump over the E-Ray it replaces, even though the GS X adds a healthy 66 hp over its predecessor. Both models are also available as hardtop convertibles and each can be had in the typical Corvette trims levels: 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT, with each higher number adding options and refinements. The standard all-season rubber can be replaced with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S Summer tires for $500 on the GS X, and the same tires can be added to the basic Grand Sport alongside carbon brakes from the Z06 for $3500. Those same carbon brakes come standard on the Grand Sport X.

The Z06 and ZR1 start at $121,395 and $197,195 respectively, keeping the thousand-horsepower Corvette under the $200,000 mark. The ZR1X, the ultimate form of the C8 Corvette, can be had for $227,395.
