Five 2027 Corvettes give a buyer five different reasons to sign: a Stingray gives everyday comfort with real performance underneath, a Grand Sport gives that same drive a wider, more planted stance, a Z06 gives the highest-revving naturally aspirated V8 Chevrolet has ever built, a ZR1 gives the biggest number a gas engine alone can produce, and a ZR1X gives the quickest launch and the most power in Corvette history. Outten Chevrolet of Allentown sells and services all five, and this page puts them side by side so the difference is easy to see before a test drive.

Quick Take: Stingray and Grand Sport share the same 535-hp engine, so the choice between them is chassis width and price, not power. Z06 trades that engine for a naturally aspirated flat-plane V8 built for high revs. ZR1 and ZR1X share a twin-turbo version of that same architecture, with the ZR1X adding a front electric motor for the quickest 0-60 in the lineup. Each is a genuine answer for a different kind of driver, from a first Corvette to the fastest one Chevrolet builds.

2027 Corvette Overview: Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X

Stingray opens the lineup at $71,000 with a 535-hp LS6 6.7L naturally aspirated V8 and a narrow body built for everyday driving as much as weekend performance. Every trim carries the same three-screen command center as the rest of the lineup, so a Stingray buyer gives up nothing in cabin technology to reach the entry price.

Grand Sport starts at $86,000, pairing that same 535-hp engine with the Z06's wider, more planted body and stance. It exists specifically for buyers who want the visual presence of the wide-body cars without changing what's under the hood.

Z06 starts at $121,500 with a 670-hp LT6 5.5L naturally aspirated flat-plane V8 co-developed with Corvette's GT3.R race program, spinning to an 8,600-rpm redline that neither the Stingray nor the twin-turbo cars can match.

ZR1 starts at $197,700 with a 1,064-hp LT7 5.5L twin-turbo flat-plane V8, the fastest gas-only Corvette Chevrolet sells and, at 233 mph, the highest top speed the brand has ever posted.

ZR1X starts at $227,500, adding a front electric drive unit to that same LT7 engine for 1,250 combined hp and electrified all-wheel drive, plus a 4-5 mile electric-only Stealth Mode none of the other four models offer.

Where Each 2027 Corvette Wins

Stingray

The Stingray gives a buyer the lowest price of entry into a genuine 535-hp sports car, plus the same three-screen technology suite as every model above it, from the Performance Data Recorder to the Head-Up Display on 2LT and up. It's the choice for a first Corvette or a daily driver that still delivers real performance on a weekend back road, without paying for capability that goes unused during the commute.

Grand Sport

Grand Sport gives the Z06's wider, more planted stance and visual presence without stepping up to the Z06's price or engine. Its available Z52 Track Performance Package brings carbon-ceramic brakes, a quad center exhaust and carbon-fiber aero to a car that otherwise drives like a Stingray. It's the choice for a buyer who wants the road presence of the wide-body cars while keeping the Stingray's easier-to-drive character.

Z06

Z06 gives the highest-revving naturally aspirated engine Chevrolet has ever built, race-derived and tuned for the track without a turbo's lag, plus the available Z07 package's Carbon Fiber Aero Package for real downforce at speed. It's the choice for a buyer whose priority is how the engine responds, not just the number it makes.

ZR1

ZR1 gives the highest power figure available without going hybrid, plus the highest top speed in Corvette history at 233 mph with the available ZTK Performance Package. It's the choice for a buyer who wants the biggest number a traditional gas engine alone can deliver, with standard carbon-ceramic brakes to match.

ZR1X

ZR1X gives the quickest 0-60 and the most power ever built into a Corvette, plus an electric-only Stealth Mode no other model offers and the largest brakes ever fitted to one, 16.5-inch rotors front and rear. It's the choice for a buyer chasing the outright number, launch after launch.

Which 2027 Corvette Should You Buy?

A buyer who wants a comfortable, genuinely quick daily driver gets the most for the least with a Stingray. A buyer drawn to the wider, more aggressive stance gets it in a Grand Sport, engine unchanged. A buyer planning regular track days gets the highest-revving engine in the lineup in a Z06. A buyer who wants the largest power number a gas engine alone can produce gets it in a ZR1. A buyer chasing the quickest launch and the highest combined output gets it in a ZR1X.
