Back in April, Chevrolet announced about the return of the Chevy Corvette Grand Sport for 2010, which was last produced in 1996. According to the company the Corvette will undergo series of updates for the 2010 model year, with changes affecting the entire lineup and replacement of the Z51 package from previous model years. And now Chevrolet has released new images of its 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, which show more details and unique features of the vehicle. The Grand Sport package combines the Corvette’s LS3-based powertrain with unique, wide-body styling and racing-bred suspension.
The vehicle will be available in coupe and convertible body styles, with either a six-speed manual or six automatic transmissions. The LS3 6.2-liter engine is rated at 430 horsepower and 424 pound-feet of torque with the standard exhaust system. An optional two-mode exhaust system elevates the power ratings to 436 hp and 428 lb-ft.
The new Grand Sport will deliver better handling, with wider wheels and tires; revised shock, stabilizer bar and spring specifications; and specific gearing. Other features of the car include 18- and 19-inch 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.
As previously announced the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport Coupe will be priced starting from $55,720, with the convertible version listing from $59,530.
