Every 2027 Corvette Priced: Why the $112,495 Grand Sport X Makes the Z06 a Hard Sell
Chevrolet's full price list runs from $73,795 to $248,695. The most interesting number sits in the middle: a 721-hp hybrid that undercuts the Z06.
Chevrolet has published a trim-by-trim price list for every 2027 Corvette, and the spread is wide: $73,795 for a Stingray 1LT coupe, $248,695 for a ZR1X 3LZ convertible. Six models, up to three trim levels each, and a convertible version of all of them add up to 32 starting prices.
Most of the 2027 news is already known. The new 6.7-liter LS6 V8 is the base engine, the Grand Sport is back, and the range already picked up three TopGear.com US Car Awards for the LS6, Grand Sport, and ZR1X. What the full price list adds is a clear view of where each car sits, and one pairing that deserves a closer look: the Grand Sport X against the Z06.
Every 2027 Corvette at a glance
Prices below are starting MSRPs from Chevrolet's November 4 release. According to Motor1, they include the $2,495 destination charge and reflect a $300 increase on every model that appeared in Chevy's configurator in October.
| Model | Engine | Output | Drive | Coupe from | Top coupe trim | Convertible from | 0–60 mph (Chevy) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stingray | 6.7L V8 (LS6) | 535 hp / 520 lb-ft | RWD | $73,795 | $85,545 (3LT) | $80,795 | Not stated |
| Grand Sport | 6.7L V8 (LS6) | 535 hp / 520 lb-ft | RWD | $88,795 | $100,545 (3LT) | $95,795 | Not stated |
| Grand Sport X | 6.7L V8 + front e-motor | 721 hp combined | AWD | $112,495 | $123,145 (3LT) | $119,495 | 2.4 sec |
| Z06 | 5.5L V8 | 670 hp / 460 lb-ft | RWD | $121,695 | $135,245 (3LZ) | $128,695 | 2.6 sec (with Z07) |
| ZR1 | 5.5L twin-turbo V8 | 1,064 hp / 828 lb-ft | RWD | $197,495 | $208,495 (3LZ) | $207,495 | 2.3 sec (with ZTK) |
| ZR1X | 5.5L twin-turbo V8 + front e-motor | 1,250 hp combined | AWD | $227,695 | $238,695 (3LZ) | $237,695 | Under 2.0 sec |
The convertible, a power-folding hardtop, adds $7,000 on every Stingray, Grand Sport, Grand Sport X, and Z06, and $10,000 on the ZR1 and ZR1X. One correction to the release: it labels the $130,145 Grand Sport X convertible as a 2LT, but that figure is the 3LT coupe plus $7,000. The ZR1 and ZR1X skip the middle trim and come only as 1LZ and 3LZ. Motor1 also reports that Z06 and ZR1X buyers pay a $2,600 federal Gas Guzzler Tax on top of these prices.
Stingray: still the entry point
The Stingray 1LT coupe gets the same 535-hp LS6 V8 as the Grand Sport, with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. Chevrolet says it will reach 200 mph on a track in standard form. Option highlights at this level are small: a high wing spoiler costs $1,395, and taking delivery at the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky costs $1,695.
The 2LT, at $80,895, adds a head-up display and the Performance Data and Video Recorder. The 3LT, at $85,545, adds GT2 bucket seats and sueded microfiber trim on the upper dash. The Z51 Performance Package, with Brembo brakes, Z51 suspension, a 5.56 rear axle ratio, and an electronic limited-slip differential, costs $5,395.
Grand Sport: $15,000 more than a Stingray
The Grand Sport 1LT starts at $88,795, exactly $15,000 above the Stingray 1LT, with the same engine and output. The money goes into the chassis and the look. Chevy offers three setups: a touring car on all-season Michelins, the $3,500 Z52 Sport Performance Package with Brembo calipers and performance-tuned traction management, and the $20,695 Z52 Track Performance Package with carbon-ceramic brakes. The Carbon Flash badge package is standard, and an optional quad center-exit exhaust is available.
Add the Z52 Track package to a 1LT and the Grand Sport costs $109,490, within $3,005 of a Grand Sport X.
Grand Sport X vs. Z06: the real decision in the lineup
The E-Ray is not on Chevrolet's 2027 list. Its replacement is the Grand Sport X, which pairs the LS6 with the ZR1X's front electric drive unit: a 186-hp motor fed by a 1.9-kWh lithium-ion battery. Combined output is 721 hp, and Chevy quotes 0–60 mph in 2.4 seconds. It can also run on electric power alone at up to 50 mph in Stealth mode.
The swap is good value for hybrid buyers. Chevrolet's 2026 AWD lineup listed the E-Ray at $111,095 with 655 hp from a 6.2-liter V8 and a 160-hp front motor. The Grand Sport X costs $1,400 more and makes 66 hp more.
Put the Grand Sport X next to the Z06 and the numbers do something unusual for a Corvette range. The hybrid starts at $112,495, which is $9,200 less than the Z06's $121,695. It makes 51 more horsepower. Its 2.4-second 0–60 time is quicker than the Z06's best quoted figure, 2.6 seconds, and the Z06 only gets there with the Z07 Performance Package. That package in turn requires either the $8,995 Carbon Flash aero package or the $10,995 Visible Carbon Fiber package.
The Z06 still has a clear case on a race track. Its 670-hp 5.5-liter V8 makes no compromises for a battery, and the $17,000 Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package exists for drivers who measure lap times. Chevrolet has not published curb weights in this release, so the weight penalty of the Grand Sport X's hybrid hardware is still an open question.
For a buyer who drives mostly on public roads, the comparison looks lopsided. The Grand Sport X is cheaper, quicker to 60, and all-wheel drive. The performance option Chevrolet lists for it is a $500 package that swaps in run-flat summer tires.
ZR1 and ZR1X: the top of the range
The ZR1, at $197,495, is the most powerful Corvette without electric assistance: a twin-turbo 5.5-liter V8 sending 1,064 hp to the rear wheels. The $5,995 ZTK Track Performance Package brings 0–60 down to 2.3 seconds.
The ZR1X adds the same 186-hp front motor as the Grand Sport X, for 1,250 hp, all-wheel drive, and a 0–60 time under two seconds. That costs $30,200 more, $227,695 to start. Even so, the ZR1X undercuts a Porsche 911 Turbo S, which lists at $270,300 before a $2,350 delivery charge, by roughly $45,000.
What the key options cost
- Convertible: $7,000 on Stingray, Grand Sport, Grand Sport X, and Z06; $10,000 on ZR1 and ZR1X
- Z51 Performance Package (Stingray): $5,395
- Z52 Sport / Track Performance Package (Grand Sport): $3,500 / $20,695
- Carbon Fiber Wheel and Brake Package (Z06): $17,000
- ZTK Track Performance Package (ZR1): $5,995
- Carbon Fiber Aero Package (ZR1X): $12,995
- National Corvette Museum delivery: $1,695
None of these cars offers a manual transmission. Corvette's chief engineer has explained why a stick is not coming back.
Which Corvette should you buy?
For most buyers, I'd argue the Stingray 2LT is still the sweet spot. It has the same 535-hp engine as the Grand Sport, the head-up display, and the data recorder, for $80,895. Add the Z51 package and it is still under $87,000.
The Grand Sport makes sense for buyers who want the chassis upgrades and the hash marks without paying for hybrid hardware. Above that, my bet is that the Grand Sport X will draw many buyers who would have bought a Z06 a year ago. The Z06 remains the purist's choice and the track-day tool, but at $9,200 more it now has to justify itself against a quicker, all-weather car from the same showroom.
At the top, the ZR1X's $30,200 premium over the ZR1 buys AWD and a sub-two-second launch. Next to a 911 Turbo S, both are still bargains on paper.
