1963 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

One thing about the Corvette is the fact that the car is known for its performance, and not just that, it’s revered. The Corvette innovated and added an entirely new segment to the automotive industry. The Grand Sport project was the brainchild of Zora Arkus-Duntov, often referred to as the “Father of the Corvette”. The performance of the Grand Sport brought a whole new level of dynamic to the historic sport coupe (via Top Speed).

This was a very limited version of the Corvette but back then it packed 550 horsepower, which was a massive amount of performance for the period. The Grand Sport took everything great about the 1963 Corvette and took it to another level. Very few Corvettes have been able to cultivate the type of reputation that the Grand Sport did.
