The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette lineup gives performance buyers more choices than simply deciding between a coupe and convertible. Stingray delivers the accessible core Corvette experience, Grand Sport adds wide-body handling capability, Grand Sport X combines that formula with electrified all-wheel drive, and Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X progressively raise the limits of track-focused performance.
The lineup also changes significantly for 2027. Stingray receives the new 6.7-liter LS6 V8 with 535 horsepower, the Grand Sport name returns, and the new Grand Sport X provides 721 combined horsepower with an electric front drive unit. At Don Mealey Chevrolet in Clermont, our team can help you compare the performance, drivetrain, equipment, and body styles available across the Corvette family.
Every Corvette is a mid-engine two-seat performance car, but the powertrain and chassis choices create very different personalities.

The 2027 Corvette Stingray replaces the previous 6.2-liter V8 with Chevrolet’s next-generation 6.7-liter LS6. The naturally aspirated V8 produces 535 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque, making it the most powerful standard engine ever offered in a Corvette.
With the available Z51 Performance Package, Stingray can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.8 seconds. Chevrolet has also validated a 200-mph top speed for a properly configured 2027 Stingray.
The Z51 package adds performance-focused brakes, suspension tuning, an electronic limited-slip differential, additional cooling, revised aerodynamics, and Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 summer tires. Buyers can also select an available center-exit exhaust for the first time on the mid-engine Stingray.
Grand Sport fills the space between Stingray and the more specialized Z06. It combines the new LS6 V8 with a wider, more aggressive body and chassis equipment intended for drivers who want stronger handling capability without moving to the high-revving Z06 powertrain.
Grand Sport pairs the 535-horsepower LS6 V8 with rear-wheel drive, wide-body aerodynamics, Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0, and an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission.
Grand Sport X adds an electric motor at the front axle, creating electrified all-wheel drive and increasing combined output while retaining the 6.7-liter LS6 V8.
Corvette Z06 is the naturally aspirated track-focused choice. Its 5.5-liter LT6 flat-plane-crank V8 produces 670 horsepower and can reach 60 mph in as little as 2.6 seconds. The available Z07 Performance Package adds carbon-ceramic brakes, track-focused tires, and more aggressive aerodynamics. Browse Corvette Z06 inventory at Don Mealey Chevrolet.
Corvette ZR1 adds twin turbochargers to the 5.5-liter flat-plane-crank architecture. Its LT7 V8 produces 1,064 horsepower and 828 pound-feet of torque, with an available 0–60 mph time of 2.3 seconds and a track top speed of 233 mph.
Corvette ZR1X combines the ZR1’s twin-turbo V8 with an electric front drive unit. The result is electrified all-wheel drive, 1,250 combined horsepower, a 1.89-second 0–60 mph time, and an 8.99-second quarter mile in Chevrolet testing. It is the quickest and most powerful model in the current Corvette lineup.
Drivetrain choice is now one of the biggest distinctions within the Corvette family.
Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, and ZR1 send power to the rear wheels. They preserve the traditional rear-drive sports-car balance while using the Corvette’s mid-engine layout to place more weight over the driven tires.
Grand Sport X and ZR1X use an electric motor to drive the front axle while the gasoline engine powers the rear wheels. This provides all-wheel-drive traction without replacing the mid-mounted V8.
Corvette coupes use a removable roof panel, giving buyers an open-air option while retaining the classic mid-engine coupe profile. The roof panel can be stored in the vehicle when removed.
The available power-retractable hardtop provides open-air driving without manually removing a roof panel. On applicable models, the top can be operated at speeds up to 30 mph.
Stingray, Grand Sport, Grand Sport X, and Z06 offer familiar 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT-style equipment progressions, while the most extreme Corvette models use their own trim structures. Available equipment can include heated and ventilated seats, Napa leather, Competition Sport seats, a Head-Up Display, Performance Data Recorder, premium Bose audio, and extensive interior color choices.
The current Corvette cockpit places performance information directly in front of the driver. Depending on model and equipment, the command center can include a 12.7-inch center display, a 14-inch Driver Information Center, and a 6.6-inch auxiliary touchscreen.
Available and standard technology across the lineup includes Google built-in compatibility, wireless phone projection, wireless charging, Performance Data Recorder, configurable drive modes, Performance Traction Management on qualifying performance models, and real-time performance information through the Performance App.
The fastest Corvette is not automatically the best Corvette for every driver. Think about where and how you will actually use the car.
Consider Stingray. It combines 535 horsepower with the narrow-body chassis, usable cargo space, and the widest focus on everyday performance.
Consider Grand Sport. The wide-body chassis and available performance packages add handling capability while retaining the naturally aspirated LS6.
Consider Grand Sport X. It adds front electric drive for stronger launch performance and traction while keeping the LS6 V8.
Consider Z06, ZR1, or ZR1X. Each moves progressively farther toward track-focused performance and extreme acceleration.
A new Corvette gives you access to the latest 2027 powertrains, technology, colors, and performance packages. A pre-owned Corvette may make more sense if you are searching for a particular generation, exterior color, interior combination, package, or price point.
Performance cars reward proper maintenance. Tires, brakes, fluids, cooling systems, alignment, and other wear items can be especially important for Corvettes that see spirited driving or track use.
