Chevrolet prices budget-Z06 2017 Corvette Grand Sport from $66,445
Big Bowtie's midrange sports car will go on sale this summer in both coupe and convertible variants.
When Chevrolet pulled off the cover on its Grand Sport, we were excited to see a solid middle grounder that will exist between the base Stingray and the super-hot Z06. In essence, the Grand Sport is a Z06 without that pesky supercharger. Now, we have an idea of what it will cost to take one home.
The Grand Sport will debut in showrooms this summer with a price tag of $66,445 for coupes and $70,445 for convertibles. That amounts to about $14,000 less than a Z06 and about $11,000 more than the Stingray, so it's splitting the difference almost exactly.
For that money, you'll get a whole bunch of Z06-caliber kit, including suspension components, brakes, tire and body upgrades, but it'll hide the same 460-horsepower V-8 under the Stingray's hood. 0-60mph is estimated at 3.6 seconds, and the quarter mile should fly by in 11.8 seconds at 118 mph. The standard transmission is a seven-speed manual with automatic rev matching.
If you want to give your Grand Sport a little panache, you can outfit the car with the Heritage Package, which includes those hash-mark stripes on the fender and on the interior's aluminum trim. A collector's edition will also be offered, with a black-on-gray motif and full-length stripes.
