Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

The interior is designed like a fighter-jet style cockpit around the driver, with the infotainment display and controls angled towards the left. For the wide rand of seat and steering adjustability, the driving position is near perfect. The Grand Sport creates a vibe of sporty look along with spacious comfort. Interior features on the 2019 Grand Sport include a head-up display with readouts for g-force, dual-zone climate control, vehicle speed, and rpm. A leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel ties it all together.

The Grand Sport lies between the Supercharged Z06 and the base-model Stingray, which explains the reason for the Grand Sport sharing a lot of its design similarities with both. Another significant feature of the Grand Sport is the widened wheel arches that permit this Corvette to fit even within the broader wheels and tires, presenting a luxurious look. 

The front of the Grand Sport obtains the Z06 treatment, borrowing its grille, front splitter, and branded front fender vents. The Grand Sport is available with a choice of five unique wheel designs, all sized at 19 inches front and 20 inches rear. The model comes in a large scale of colour combination including Black, Pearl Nickel, Chrome, Machined-Face Aluminium, and Satin Black with Red Striping. Exposed carbon fibre inserts are available as an optional extra.

For translating the car to sit low and wide, the Grand Sport shares most of its dimensions with the rest of the Corvette lineup. It offers the perfect posture for an ideal sports car. The Grand Sport is an inch longer than other Corvette recent models at 177.9 inches, most likely due to the added aerodynamic body pieces, but it shares the 106.7-inch wheelbase. The wider wheel arches are fitted to accommodate those huge wheels which convert into a maximum width measurement of 73.9 inches, and hardened suspension makes the car sit a tad lower at 48.6 inches tall. Due to carbon fibre and aluminium bits, the Grand Sport has managed to keep its curb weight relatively low and for a car.

Paint the car with the most eye-catching colors such as Shadow grey Metallic and Elkhart Lake Blue Metallic. Usually, the car comes in Torch Red, Admiral Blue, and Arctic White. However, there are multiple choices of optional extras which you can select as the model colour. The options include a variety of exciting colors like Corvette Racing Long Beach Red Metallic, Yellow Tint coat, and Sebring Orange Tint coat.

All this culminates in a car that offers more handling capability than most drivers will ever be able to appreciate. Grip levels are extraordinary. The steering rack in the GS is quick to respond and gives a razor-sharp turn-in response. As you go through the selectable drive modes, steering weight gets progressively heavier. The optional magnetic selective suspension package is present, which offers a superior balance between performance dampening and comfort.

The Grand Sport is a fearsome fast car. The 6.2-litre V8 that lies beneath the car’s swelling hood produces 460 horsepower and 630.45 Nm of torque due to direct injection, variable valve timing technology, and a performance exhaust system. The standard seven-speed manual transmission features rev-matching technology helping in swift driving efficiently. The manual gearbox may not be the smoothest in its class, but it offers direct shifts that find home effortlessly.

By including some modern-day safety essentials, Chevrolet has ensured the ultimate safety for the passengers. The large diameter Brembo performance brakes with ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, stability control, advanced traction control as well as front and side-impact airbags protect the riders. Grand Sports allow you to sit back and enjoy the drive without being worried about safety.

It borrows the clearly educed 6.2-litre engine and uses suspension parts and exterior bits from the supercar-slaying Z06, which results in entertaining even the most experienced drivers during festive moods. One of the major characteristics is the amount of trunk space of the Grand Sport that separates it from the rest of the pack and turns this Corvette into a properly practical sports car.
