Chevrolet’s Corvette Shows Heritage With A Grand Sport Package At SEMA

Chevrolet has used the SEMA show to introduce their new Corvette Grand Sport package. The new collection of accessories for the Grand Sport package will include styling details that consist of new mesh inserts, ZR-1 inspired body work, dark chrome badges, new door handles, and a new tech pattern engine cover.

The inside of the car will boast new floor mats with the Grand Sport logo, while there will then be red stitching on the gear knob and parking brake. Expect iPod connectivity and a new convertible wind screen, racing styled pedals and an interior storage package.

Performance upgrades include a new set of wider tires and a sportier suspension. The engine will be a 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine with 321kW and 575Nm of torque. Expect a 0-100km/h time of less than four-seconds.
