![[VIDEO] Round Up of all the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport 'First Look' Reviews](https://www.corvetteblogger.com/images/content/2026/03/032526_22.jpg)
Chevrolet has officially launched the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and Grand Sport X and it’s everything we thought it would be. We are also excited for the new LS6 V8 engine packaged in 409 cubic inches! With 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, Chevy says it’s the most torque offered on any naturally aspirated V8 from GM. If you haven’t read our Grand Sport/LS6 reveal article yet, you can check it out here.
It appears that our assumption about no live reveal for the GS was correct, as YouTube now has a bunch of reviews out from those lucky enough to travel to Spring Mountain and the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School to see the C8 Grand Sports for themselves. Below you will find a roundup of those videos, and we’ll keep adding to this list as they become available.
As always, let us know your thoughts on the new Grand Sport and the Grand Sport X!
The Straight Pipes
Jakub reviews the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport on The Straight Pipes. The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport is putting down 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque from a 6.7L V8. The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X is putting down 721 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque from a 6.7L V8 Hybrid.

The Corvette team isn’t slowing down. Just after the insane 1,250-hp ZR1X, Chevy drops TWO more models: the all-new 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and the hybrid Grand Sport X. This marks the return of one of Corvette’s most legendary badges — and the debut of a brand-new performance model.
Under the hood? A naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 pushing 535 horsepower, paired with widebody Z06 hardware and serious track-ready upgrades. And if that’s not enough, the Grand Sport X brings AWD hybrid performance with 721 horsepower and supercar-level acceleration.
This is one of the most important Corvette launches in years — and it’s just the beginning. Would you take the naturally aspirated Grand Sport or the hybrid Grand Sport X?

The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport brings back a historic name to the 8th generation of the legendary Corvette! And it preserves the formula of combining the wider more aggressive Z06 body with the base Stingray’s V8 because the all new 6.7L LS6 V8 found in the Grand Sport is also making its way into the 2027 Stingray. The Grand Sport is also joined by a 721 horsepower Grand Sport X, essentially replacing the E-Ray.

The iconic Chevrolet Corvette went mid-engine for the first-time when the C8Corvette first arrived and for 2027, Chevrolet has decided to bring back to iconic Corvette Grand Sport to the lineup. This sweet spot in the Corvette family brings together the handling upgrades and widebody styling from the Corvette Z06, with the more manageable power levels of the Corvette Stingray. The Corvette Grand Sport X also replaces the ERay in the lineup with even more power and style.

At the core of every 2027 Corvette Grand Sport and Grand Sport X is the next-generation LS6 6.7L V8, which now becomes Corvette’s primary engine – powering the 2027 Stingray as well. Launching General Motors’ next generation of V8s, LS6 raises the bar for performance thanks to engine architecture upgrades that will soon benefit other V8-powered Chevrolets.
Delivering 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, this naturally aspirated engine sees increases in power and torque across the rev band compared to its predecessor. A larger 6.7L (409 cu in) displacement and 13.0:1 compression ratio sharpen response, while a 95-mm throttle body and tunnel ram intake with high-velocity ports move more air to unlock additional power.

Keith – will the Stingray get the same center quad exhaust (like all of the other variants) now that is has the new engine? I was a bit surprised the new GS has the center quad since it’s not based on the LT6. But not surprised as it shares the same rear-end bodywork as the Z models.
Yes, the Stingray and Grand Sport both come with side-corner exhaust as the standard configuration, and Stingray and both Grand Sport models can be equipped with an optional quad-center exhaust.
So what’ll be the resulting torque for the GSX in combination? More than the C7 Z06 with (if I’m right) 640 lb-ft? Anyone knowing already? Is it just a pure addition of LT6 torque and e-motor torque?
Thanx for your thoughts!
