The newest addition is the Grand Sport X, which sits above the base Stingray and standard Grand Sport but below the Z06. Chevy has now launched the online configurator for the Grand Sport X, which delivers a staggering performance punch for the price. Here, we'll look at all the customization options for the mid-pack Corvette, and whether it's worth upgrading to the Z06's LT6 V8.Corvette Grand Sport X Price and Options2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport XChevroletView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThe Grand Sport X sports a 6.7-liter V8 producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque. But it also has an electric motor that powers the front wheels, enabling all-wheel-drive traction and a combined output of 721 hp. Its claimed 0-60 mph time is 2.4 seconds and it will clear the quarter-mile in only 10.4 seconds.The base price for the Grand Sport X was previously confirmed at $109,700, but it can be specced to cost a lot more than that.
