SPECIAL CORVETTE GRAND SPORT FOR US MARKET


The American market will be that much richer with the introduction of a new Corvette Grand Sport. The car is based on the LS3 powertrain and comes in two styles; a coupe and a convertible.


GM has used the 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine to power the car to the tune of 430bhp (321kW) and maximum torque of 424 lb.-ft (575Nm). Performance is said to be improved by 0.2 seconds over other LS3 models. It comes fitted with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic. Tyre sizes measure 275/35ZR18 at the front and 325/30ZR19 at the rear.
