Racecar Alert Racecar Alert!!! C7 Corvette Grand Sport!!
The Grand Sport moniker, unlike so many modern-day performance labels, has its roots firmly planted in the history of motorsports, and more specifically, the world-renowned 24 Hours of the Le Mans endurance race. The first Grand Sport was born in 1963 after Chevrolet engineer Zora Arkus-Duntov took a 1963 Corvette and made it lighter, fitted an aluminum block 377 ci V8 engine, and worked on the aerodynamics. The MK1 Grand Sport was designed to compete with the GT cars of Europe, but unfortunately, it never got to see the track officially. Since then, the Corvette has gone on to enjoy a successful career in motorsports, especially in the GT class at Le Mans. Now the Grand Sport name lives on in the 2019 C7 Corvette, and thanks to a 6.2-liter V8, a honed chassis, and performance suspension, it's better than ever, comparing to the likes of the BMW M4 and Corvette's own Z06.
The Grand Sport lives up to its name and racing heritage when it comes to handling and sporty driving. It all starts off with a superbly balanced chassis with carbon-nano-composite underbody panels, that offer a robust platform for the performance-tuned suspension and wider tires to do their thing. The GS shares its suspension and tire setup with the Z06, which means stabilizer bars grow from 26.7 mm to 30.7 mm, and shock piston diameter goes from 35 mm to 46 mm. Those wide fenders now house 285/30ZR19 front and 335/25ZR20 rear tires, a significant change in size over the Stingray. All this culminates in a car that offers more handling capability than most drivers will ever be able to really appreciate. Grip levels are extraordinary, but even with the wider tires, the 6.2-liter V8 will happily kick out the rear-end on demand.
