Corvette Grand Sport

Anyone who likes the Corvette Z06, but doesn’t want to splurge for the supercharged LT4 engine of that car will be interested in the Grand Sport Corvette. The two rides are essentially the same with the exception of the supercharger and the bonus 180 hp it brings.

Back in 1962, Chevrolet chief engineer Zora Arkus Duntov set his sights on winning the GT class at LeMans. He planned a production run of 125 purpose-built Corvette race cars, which were christened Grand Sport. Unfortunately, GM shelved the project after only five of these inspired Vettes were completed.
