Hey there, bargain hunter.
Most people are still staring at the ZR1X. About 1,250 horsepower, a $227,500 starting price, and a claimed sub-two-second 0-60 time. It's genuinely spectacular, and it gets all the headlines. Fair enough.
But that car is not the interesting trade right now.
The interesting one is the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X, and it just showed up in the pricing data this spring in a way that should make anyone who follows value-per-dollar think twice.
What Just Happened
Chevrolet has officially announced 2027 Corvette pricing, including the 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X starting at $112,195 (including destination). Ordering for the 2027 model year opened April 16, 2026. The Grand Sport X is positioned as the effective replacement for the now-defunct E-Ray in the lineup. That matters, because the E-Ray was already a proven hybrid AWD platform, and the Grand Sport X is framed as the next step up in performance.
Corvette sales, for context, are already running hot. GM reported 7,182 Corvette deliveries in Q2 2026, up 23.8% year over year. In the first half of 2026, total Corvette deliveries hit 13,417 units.
But the Porsche comparison in the original draft needed a correction. According to Porsche Cars North America, U.S. retail deliveries in Q2 2026 were 4,652 for the 911 and 38 for the 718. That’s 4,690 combined, but it’s not “911 and Boxster/Cayman combined” in any normal sense, because the 718 number is essentially de minimis due to production ending. So yes, the Corvette is outselling Porsche’s two-door sports cars in the U.S. right now, but it’s not a clean apples-to-apples “portfolio” comparison the way it reads at first glance.
The Powertrain Is the Point
Here's where it gets interesting. The Grand Sport X pairs GM's new 6.7-liter naturally aspirated LS6 V8 (535 horsepower, 520 lb-ft of torque) with a 186-horsepower front-mounted electric motor for an all-wheel-drive hybrid system. The battery pack is listed at 1.9 kWh in early specifications coverage.
