About the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette

8th generation (C8, introduced for 2020); major 2027 powertrain and model-range expansion following the 2026 interior update.

Chevrolet positions Corvette as an American mid-engine sports car that combines supercar speed and handling with everyday usability. Across the range, it pairs dramatic design and driver-focused controls with two-seat comfort and usable cargo space. The broad performance ladder—from the naturally aspirated Stingray to track-focused Z06 and AWD ZR1X—sets it apart by offering several distinct driving personalities within one model range.

The Stingray remains the road-friendly core of the range, but it gains considerably more power while retaining its three-screen cockpit and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The new wide-body Grand Sport sits between Stingray and Z06, while Grand Sport X adds AWD and carbon-ceramic brakes. Z06 keeps its high-revving 670-horsepower V8, and the 1,064-horsepower ZR1 and AWD ZR1X remain at the top of the range.
