Corvette Grand Sport pricing released

Pricing for Chevrolet’s all-new 2010 Corvette Grand Sport has been leaked on the internet, ahead of its official launch. The Grand Sport package, last heard from in 1996, combines the Corvette’s LS3 engine with wide-body styling and race-tuned suspension. The model replaces the Z51 package in the Corvette line.

Pricing for the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport Coupe will start at $55,720, with the convertible version starting at $59,530. The pricing represents a $5,360 to $6,205 premium over the base C6 Corvette.

The car will be offered in both coupe and convertible body styles, with either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission. The LS3 6.2L engine is rated at 430 hp and 424 lb-ft of torque with the standard exhaust system. An optional two-mode exhaust system elevates the power ratings to 436 hp and 428 lb-ft.

Other highlights include 18-inch front and 19-inch rear wheels, a Z06-style splitter and spoiler, functional brake ducts, and Z06-size brakes, including 14-inch front rotors with six-piston calipers and 13.4-inch rear rotors with four-piston calipers.

All of Corvette’s exterior colors are offered on the Grand Sport, and an available Heritage package adds front-fender hash marks, available in four colors, as well as two-tone seats with Grand Sport embroidery. The Grand Sport can be ordered with 1LT, 2LT, 3LT and 4LT trim packages, too.
