The Chevrolet Corvette C8 lineup may soon gain a version many consider the long-awaited sweet spot. Industry sources say the Grand Sport name is being readied for a comeback for the 2027 model year. Interest spiked after a camouflaged prototype was spotted on test: its hub caps carried Buick’s three-shield logo instead of the Corvette emblem, which looked like a nod to the Gran Sport name’s roots.The main intrigue is the hardware. Reports point to a new Small Block V8 for the Grand Sport, allegedly designated LS6 and coming in two displacements: 5.7 and 6.6 liters. In parallel, the exterior recipe is said to skew bolder: most Grand Sport versions could adopt the same widebody package already used on the E-Ray, Z06, and the most aggressive variants, rather than the more restrained body of the base Stingray. That would put the newcomer visually—and in stance—closer to the upper-tier Corvettes, without a leap into extreme budgets.Positioning-wise, the logic is clear: the Grand Sport is expected to slot between the Stingray and the E-Ray. With the Stingray priced around $70,000 and the E-Ray and Z06 notably higher, there’s room for the newcomer in roughly the $85,000–$100,000 corridor. In that space, it could well become the volume pick, drawing in buyers who want more without feeling they’re overspending.
