Chevrolet Corvette C7 Grand Sport
Chevrolet realized the Z06 was too much to handle for some buyers. And despite the fantastic looks and brutal performance, the car was close to its limits of the front engine/rear-wheel drive configuration with little space for improvement. And that is why they made an interesting hybrid model that proved to be one of the best Corvettes they ever made: the 2017 Grand Sport.
Chevrolet named the car after ill-fated racing ‘Vettes from the early ’60s. The modern Grand Sport has a 460 HP engine from the regular Corvette with a wide body and track from the Z06. This combination proved to be a winning formula since the Grand Sport has handling and driving dynamics the wider stance improved. And it did that while retaining the dramatic looks of the Z06.
