Earlier this year, Chevrolet announced the return of the Corvette Grand Sport model. It’s a track-oriented Corvette with wider wheels and tires, special suspension tuning and unique exterior details. The Corvette Grand Sport achieves a 0-60 time of less than four seconds, pulls 1.0 g on the skid pad and still boasts an EPA-rated highway fuel economy 26 mpg.

The version displayed at SEMA introduces a host of Grand Sport accessories that will be offered in 2010. It is a standard Grand Sport convertible equipped with the Heritage Package, but in a new Cyber Grey exterior color, with forthcoming accessories that include:

Mesh inserts for the front fender vents
ZR1-style front splitter and rear spoiler (painted satin black)
ZR1-style rocker extensions and wheel spats (painted satin black)
Body-color door handles and license plate frame
Tinted dark chrome fender badges
“Tech” pattern engine cover with red lettering inserts
Grand Sport-logo hood blanket
Grand Sport-logo floor mats and leather console cover
Red stitched shifter knob/boot and red parking brake boot
“Tech” pattern interior trim kit
PAL iPod connector
Convertible wind screen
Racing-style pedal covers
Interior storage pouches

The Grand Sport accessories are expected to go on sale in early 2010. They’re available through any Chevrolet or other authorized GM dealer.

Beautiful!

Those wheels are really cool.

V8GMT360 Guy · 11-03-2009, 08:28 PM

The best looking C6 I've seen to date.

Xenon · 11-03-2009, 08:59 PM

Looks good, but great way to devalue the ZR1/Z06.

YupYupYup · 11-03-2009, 09:03 PM

Nice...

All the Vette's are great, but I am anticipating the next one. Hope it comes sooner than later. Now that GM has interiors down, I am expecting a lot.

JBsZ06 · 11-03-2009, 09:29 PM

Awesome new vette and one of the best values in the marketplace. If I didn't just buy a new 08 vette....I would have bought the Grand sport without a doubt.

Grand sport over the Z51 is just 4 or so thousand dollars.. Can't beat that value with a stick.

Amazing, to bad I can't afford one.

**mikmak** · 11-03-2009, 10:37 PM

Meh. I like the original pics of the GS. This one looks too fussy.

Why do you think the Grand Sport will impact the prices of either the Z06 or ZR1?

The rims are some of the best GM has ever offered.

brnwrng · 11-04-2009, 01:17 AM

Wow the car looks great!

American_Muscle · 11-04-2009, 12:40 PM
