The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette is not one car wearing five badges. It is five distinct performance cars sharing one name, one Bowling Green assembly line and one mid-engine layout. The Stingray opens the lineup at $71,000 with an all-new 535-hp LS6 6.7L V8, the naturally aspirated Z06 climbs to 670 hp on a flat-plane crank borrowed from GT3 racing, and the twin-turbo ZR1X tops the range at 1,250 combined horsepower and a 1.89-second 0-60 run, the quickest production Corvette Chevrolet has ever built. Outten Chevrolet of Allentown carries the full range on the lot, from a daily-driver Stingray coupe to allocation-limited ZR1 and ZR1X orders.

Buyers across Allentown, Bethlehem, Emmaus and Nazareth come to this lineup for very different reasons: a Stingray for a weekend car that is still comfortable enough to drive to work, a Z06 for a car built to be track-ready without a single option box checked, a ZR1 or ZR1X for a number nothing else on a Chevrolet lot can touch. This guide breaks down what separates the five, what each one costs, and which one actually answers the question you came in with.

2027 Corvette Engines and Powertrain Options

The 2027 Corvette lineup runs five distinct engines, from a 535-hp naturally aspirated V8 to a 1,250-hp twin-turbo hybrid system. Every one is mid-engine, and every one pairs to the same 8-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Stingray and Grand Sport: the LS6 6.7L V8

The Stingray and Grand Sport share Chevrolet's all-new LS6 6.7L naturally aspirated V8, a sixth-generation small-block making 535 hp and 520 lb-ft of torque, the highest torque figure any naturally aspirated production V8 has posted. A 13.0:1 compression ratio and a new continuously variable oil pump are both firsts for a Corvette engine. With the available Z51 package, a Stingray runs 0-60 in 2.8 seconds; Grand Sport, carrying the same engine in the wider Z06-derived body, is rated at 2.75 seconds.

Z06: the naturally aspirated LT6

The Z06 does not share an engine with anything else on the lot. Its 5.5L LT6 is a flat-plane-crank V8 co-developed with Corvette's GT3.R race program, revving to an 8,600-rpm redline and making 670 hp, the most powerful naturally aspirated V8 ever offered in a production car. It is naturally aspirated, never turbocharged; that distinction matters because the ZR1 below looks similar on paper and is built the opposite way.

ZR1 and ZR1X: the twin-turbo LT7

The ZR1 pairs the Z06's 5.5L flat-plane architecture with twin turbochargers to make 1,064 hp, enough for a 2.3-second 0-60 run and a 233-mph top speed, the fastest Corvette ever sold. The ZR1X adds a front-axle electric motor to that same LT7 engine for an electrified all-wheel-drive hypercar: 1,250 hp combined, 0-60 in 1.89 seconds, and a 4-5 mile electric-only Stealth Mode for a quiet exit from the neighborhood before the V8 wakes up.

Corvette Trim Lineup and Pricing

Every 2027 Corvette trim ladder runs three model levels except the ZR1 and ZR1X, which run two.

• Stingray: 1LT ($71,000), 2LT ($78,100), 3LT ($82,750), each in coupe or convertible
• Grand Sport: 1LT ($86,000), 2LT ($93,100), 3LT ($97,750), the Z06's wide-body aero on the Stingray's naturally aspirated V8
• Z06: 1LZ ($121,500), 2LZ ($130,400), 3LZ ($135,050), coupe or convertible
• ZR1: 1LZ ($197,700), 3LZ ($208,700), two model levels only
• ZR1X: 1LZ ($227,500), 3LZ ($238,500), two model levels only

All figures above exclude the $2,495 destination freight charge. See the full trim comparison for what each model level adds.

Technology and Connectivity

Every 2027 Corvette runs the same three-screen command center: a 12.7-inch center touchscreen, a 14-inch Driver Information Center and a 6.6-inch auxiliary display, a third screen the lineup did not carry before this model year. A fully customizable Performance App overlays real-time horsepower and torque graphs, and a Performance Data Recorder is standard from 2LT/2LZ up. Bose audio runs from a 10-speaker system on 1LT/1LZ to a 14-speaker Performance Series system from 2LT/2LZ up.

Interior and Comfort

Every 2027 Corvette seats two, starting with 8-way power GT1 seats in Mulan leather on 1LT/1LZ trims and stepping up to Napa leather GT2 seats at the top of each ladder. Competition Sport bucket seats are available across the range for track days, and 3LT/3LZ cars add custom leather-wrapped instrument panels, sueded microfiber upper trim and up to 14 interior color choices.

Cargo and Passenger Space

Every 2027 Corvette carries 12.6 cu ft of combined cargo space split between a front trunk and a rear trunk, enough for two sets of golf clubs or a weekend's luggage for two. The coupe's removable roof panel stows in the rear trunk when it comes off, which is worth planning around on a longer trip since it and a full set of luggage will compete for the same space. The wide-body track models give a little of that total back to cooling and aero hardware, so a Z06, ZR1 or ZR1X owner packing for a track weekend should plan around slightly less usable room than a Stingray or Grand Sport.

Performance Packages and Track Capability

Each model carries its own factory track package. The Stingray and Grand Sport offer the Z51 and Z52 packages: performance Brembo brakes, a firmer suspension tune, an eLSD and a front splitter and rear spoiler, plus a quad center exhaust and carbon-fiber aero on the Track Performance tier. The Z06's Z07 package adds carbon-ceramic brakes and Cup-rated summer tires behind a required Carbon Fiber Aero Package: a high wing, dive planes and ground effects. The ZR1 answers with the ZTK package for its 233-mph top speed run, and every ZR1X ships on standard carbon-ceramic brakes with the largest rotors a Corvette has ever worn, 16.5 inches front and rear.

Safety and Driver Assistance

A car this quick still has to stop and see what a driver in a Stingray or a Z06 cannot always see for themselves. Braking intervention comes standard on every 2027 model: the car watches ahead and can apply the brakes on its own before a low-speed impact. Awareness around the car's blind spots, a real concern on a low, wide two-seater, gets a step up from 2LT/2LZ, when cross-traffic and blind-zone alerts join the standard rear camera and rear-view mirror display that ship on every trim from 1LT. What the lineup does not offer is hands-free highway driving; Super Cruise and adaptive cruise control live on other Chevrolet models, not on any 2027 Corvette. The car is also outside the pool NHTSA and IIHS test, since their programs are built around higher-volume vehicles rather than a low-production two-seat sports car, so buyers weighing crash-test scores should know none exist for this model in either direction.

Which 2027 Corvette Is Right for You?

The right 2027 Corvette comes down to how it gets driven: a daily commute, weekend track days, or chasing the highest number in the lineup.

• Daily sports car, first Corvette: a Stingray 1LT or 2LT, 535 hp, a comfortable ride, and the lowest entry price in the range. See Stingray inventory.
• Same power, more presence: Grand Sport pairs the Stingray's engine with the Z06's wider stance for about $15,000 more than a comparable Stingray. See Grand Sport inventory.
• Weekend track days, no turbo lag: the Z06, the highest-revving, most naturally-aspirated-focused car in the lineup. See Z06 inventory.
• Fastest Corvette that still puts power down the old way: the ZR1, RWD, twin-turbo, 233 mph. See ZR1 inventory.
• The absolute number, hybrid AWD launch included: the ZR1X at 1,250 hp and a 1.89-second 0-60. See ZR1X inventory.

A 2LT Stingray with the Z51 Performance Package added is the configuration most buyers actually drive off the lot: full command-center technology plus the track-tuned suspension and brakes, on top of the $78,100 base 2LT price.

Why Buy the 2027 Corvette at Outten Chevrolet in Allentown

Corvette allocation is not unlimited, especially on Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X orders, and Outten Chevrolet of Allentown carries active inventory across the range rather than a single showroom example. PA 33 north out of Bethlehem and Easton toward the Poconos is the closest real grade-and-curve road to this market, and it is the kind of driving this lineup is actually built for, worth knowing before locking in summer-only Z51 or Z07 tires that will need to come off for the Lehigh Valley's February-through-April freeze-thaw pothole season. Outten's service team schedules that swap and the winter storage in between, on top of GM factory financing and trade-in appraisal handled the same day the car is bought.

2027 Corvette Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a 2027 Corvette cost?

Pricing starts at $71,000 for a Stingray 1LT coupe and runs to $238,500 for a ZR1X 3LZ, both excluding the $2,495 destination charge.

What is the fastest 2027 Corvette?

The ZR1X, at 1,250 combined horsepower with an available 0-60 of 1.89 seconds. The gas-only ZR1 is next at 1,064 hp and a 233-mph top speed.

Are the Z06 and ZR1 the same engine, just tuned differently?

No. Both share a 5.5L flat-plane-crank architecture, but the Z06's LT6 is naturally aspirated while the ZR1's LT7 is twin-turbocharged, two different engines rather than one engine at two power levels.

Is the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport the same as the E-Ray?

No. The E-Ray has been retired for 2027. Grand Sport is a non-hybrid, rear-wheel-drive car pairing the Stingray's 535-hp LS6 V8 with the Z06's wider body; it does not have the E-Ray's electric front axle.

Does any 2027 Corvette have all-wheel drive?

Only the ZR1X, which pairs its twin-turbo V8 with a front electric drive unit for electrified AWD. The Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 are all rear-wheel drive.

How many seats does a 2027 Corvette have?

Two, across every model in the lineup.

Does the 2027 Corvette come as a convertible?

Stingray, Grand Sport and Z06 are offered as both coupe and convertible. ZR1 and ZR1X are also offered in both body styles.

What is the Corvette's warranty?

3 years/36,000 miles bumper-to-bumper, 5 years/60,000 miles powertrain, and 6 years/100,000 miles against rust-through, the same coverage across every 2027 Corvette model.
