50 Years of the Chevrolet Corvette

2010

In 2010, Chevy not only continued its four Corvette lineup, but it also added a new model, the Grand Sport. The vehicle was unrelieved at a Corvette Birthday Bash in Bowling Green, Kentucky, at the National Corvette Museum. It used the LS3 power plant along with the Z06 Corvette’s wide track chassis and styling additions. It would be made available as a coupe or convertible. It would have higher performance than the base models plus sports suspension, more extensive trim, and an enhanced cooling system and brakes. All of the lineups came with a manual transmission option in the launch control system. In full-throttle launches, the system added performance upgrades to the standard stability system by adjusting engine speed to boost grip.
