2027 Chevy Corvette Pricing Guide: Every Trim After the October 2026 Price Increase

Corvette pricing changes are always headline news for supercar enthusiasts, and October 2026 is no exception. Chevrolet has adjusted pricing across the 2027 Corvette lineup, making now the right time to review exactly what each trim costs and what you get for the money. Whether you are eyeing a Stingray as a weekend cruiser, considering the Grand Sport X as a track-day machine, or dreaming about the ZR1X as your personal supercar, this guide walks through every trim, every price point, and every key specification. All prices listed below include the $2,495 destination and freight charge but do not include gas guzzler taxes, state taxes, local fees, or optional equipment.

What Just Changed: The October 2026 Price Adjustment

Chevrolet raised every 2027 Corvette configuration by $300 over the pricing announced in April 2026. It is a small adjustment in absolute terms, and it applies uniformly across the range, from the Stingray 1LT to the ZR1X 3LZ Convertible. Even with it, Corvette remains one of the most competitive performance values in the market.

Gas guzzler tax adds $2,600 to Z06 and ZR1X models, and $3,000 to Z06 models with carbon aero and to ZR1 variants. These are federal excise taxes, not dealer fees, and they apply regardless of how you finance or lease the vehicle. Your consultant at Starling Chevrolet St. Cloud can walk you through total out-of-door costs for any specific configuration, including gas guzzler, any applicable state taxes, and current incentive programs.

Full 2027 Corvette Pricing by Trim (Updated MSRPs)

Stingray 1LT, 2LT, and 3LT: Coupe and Convertible

The Stingray is where most buyers start, and for 2027 it receives a significant engine upgrade. The new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 produces 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, a meaningful step up from the previous-generation LT2. That output translates to a 0 to 60 mph time of 2.8 seconds with the available Z51 Performance Package, and a track top speed of 200 mph. All three Stingray equipment levels are available in both the Coupe with its standard roof and the Convertible with its retractable hardtop.

The 1LT is the entry point and comes well equipped with a 12-inch reconfigurable digital cluster, 8-inch passenger display, Magnetic Ride Control suspension, and Brembo six-piston front brakes. The 2LT adds a Head-Up Display, GT2 bucket seat interior, and a Performance Data Recorder for track use, plus an enhanced Bose audio system. The 3LT brings the highest level of interior customization with full leather, suede accents, and upgraded materials throughout. Buyers who prioritize interior quality and audio performance over on-track data logging typically choose the 3LT.

Grand Sport and Grand Sport X Pricing

The Grand Sport builds on the Stingray’s new LS6 V8 by adding aerodynamic and chassis elements inspired by the Z06. It pairs the 535-horsepower LS6 with wider body panels, a Z06-derived front splitter and rear spoiler, wider tires, and a chassis tuned for higher cornering loads. The Grand Sport X goes further, adding a 186-horsepower front electric motor to the LS6 V8 for a combined 721 horsepower and 665 lb-ft, replacing the E-Ray as the hybrid all-wheel-drive Corvette in the lineup. Chevrolet quotes 0-60 mph in 2.4 seconds and a 10.4-second quarter mile at 131 mph, with carbon ceramic brakes standard and a Stealth Mode that allows roughly four to five miles of electric-only driving at up to 50 mph.

The Grand Sport X at $112,495 in coupe form is one of the most discussed positions in the lineup. Its combined 721 horsepower places it well above the standard Grand Sport and meaningfully ahead of the entry Z06, all while remaining nearly $10,000 below the base Z06’s $121,695 starting price. For buyers who want electrified performance and track-ready hardware without committing to the full Z06, the Grand Sport X represents an exceptional value in the current lineup.

Z06, ZR1, and ZR1X Pricing

The top of the Corvette lineup is where engineering becomes extraordinary. The Z06 uses a 5.5-liter flat-plane crankshaft V8 producing 670 horsepower naturally aspirated, with an 8,600-RPM redline that puts it in direct competition with the Porsche 911 GT3 and Lamborghini Huracan at prices that undercut both. The ZR1 goes turbocharged with a twin-turbo 5.5-liter LT7 V8 generating 1,064 horsepower. Above that, the ZR1X pairs the same LT7 engine with a front electric motor, bringing combined output to 1,250 horsepower and 973 lb-ft of torque, making it the most powerful production Corvette ever built.

The ZR1X at $227,695 to start is the most powerful, most aerodynamically aggressive Corvette ever produced. Its 1,250 combined horsepower, drawn from the LT7 twin-turbo V8 and a front electric motor delivering 973 lb-ft of torque, generates downforce figures that would have been associated exclusively with race cars a generation ago. For buyers who plan to track their car seriously and want a vehicle that is competitive in timed events, the ZR1X represents an extraordinary machine at a price point that is remarkable given what it delivers.

What You Get for the Price: Engines, Horsepower, and Key Specs

One specification worth dwelling on is the Z06’s 670-horsepower naturally aspirated output. Modern high-performance engines almost universally rely on turbocharging, supercharging, or hybrid electrification to reach headline power numbers. The Z06’s LT6 achieves 670 horsepower from atmospheric air and 5.5 liters of displacement alone, with a flat-plane crankshaft that enables the 8,600-RPM redline. That level of naturally aspirated output has historically been associated with Formula 1 and Le Mans prototype race cars. Hearing the LT6 at full song remains one of the most extraordinary automotive experiences available at any price.

The Stingray’s new LS6 engine is also worth examining. Displacing 6.7 liters and producing 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, it replaces the previous 6.2-liter LT2 V8 that had been in the Corvette since the C8 launch. The LS6 brings a validated top speed of more than 200 mph to the entry Corvette, a figure that would have defined a supercar entirely on its own just ten years ago. For buyers who want extraordinary performance without the price premium of the Grand Sport X or Z06, the 2027 Stingray with the LS6 represents one of the most compelling new car values in the current market.

Which 2027 Corvette Is the Best Value?

Value in the Corvette lineup is relative to what you plan to do with the car. For buyers who want the most driving excitement per dollar and plan to use the car primarily on public roads and the occasional weekend drive, the Stingray 1LT or 2LT is the answer. You get 535 horsepower, a 200-plus mph top speed, supercar handling and braking, and one of the most dramatic driving experiences available at any price, all for under $85,000 before options. The Stingray 2LT with its Performance Data Recorder is particularly strong for buyers who want to track their car occasionally without committing to the Grand Sport or Z06.

For buyers who track their cars regularly or want electrified performance without the Z06’s flat-plane engine complexity, Grand Sport X is the sweet spot in the lineup. Its 721 combined horsepower and track-ready hardware start at around $112,000 in coupe form, well below the Z06 at $121,695, and the front electric motor provides instant torque that makes it genuinely quick out of slow corners on a road course.

For buyers who want the best naturally aspirated performance car available to the public, the Z06 at $121,695 coupe is the choice. There is no other production car you can walk into a dealership and purchase that offers 670 naturally aspirated horsepower, a flat-plane crankshaft, and an 8,600-RPM redline at any price. That is what makes the Z06 the most frequently cited value proposition among serious performance car buyers, despite its six-figure price tag.

For buyers for whom the absolute best will do, and who understand that the ZR1X is a purpose-built performance machine requiring commitment to drive at its limits, the ZR1X stands at the top of the Corvette range and the top of what American automotive engineering has produced in a production car. At 1,250 combined horsepower, it occupies performance territory previously accessible only through dedicated race car preparation.

How 2027 Corvette Pricing Compares to Porsche and European Rivals

The Corvette’s competitive context makes its pricing more remarkable with each model year. A 2027 Porsche 911 Carrera S starts at approximately $140,000 before options. A 2027 Porsche 911 Carrera S starts around $140,000 before options and a base 911 GT3 around $175,000. Entry-level Ferraris and McLarens start north of $250,000. The Stingray 2LT at $80,895 offers comparable real-world performance to the base 911 at a price tens of thousands of dollars lower. The Z06 at $121,695 competes with GT3 Porsches and base Ferraris on a track and beats most of them in a straight line.

ZR1 at $197,495 competes with six-figure hypercars from brands that have been building performance vehicles for over a century. Its twin-turbo 1,064-horsepower LT7 V8 produces more power than any naturally aspirated Ferrari or Lamborghini in the equivalent price range, and its validated 233 mph top speed exceeds what most European hypercars achieve. The ZR1X at $227,695 goes further still, pairing that same engine with a front electric motor for 1,250 combined horsepower, a figure that places it in the company of purpose-built track cars regardless of national origin or price. Even with the October 2026 pricing adjustments, the Corvette lineup remains the most accessible path to true supercar performance available today.

Tips for Buying a 2027 Corvette in Today’s Market

The Corvette market operates differently from most new car purchases. Demand consistently exceeds supply for high-trim models, and certain configurations, particularly ZR1 and ZR1X builds, are allocated in limited numbers to each dealership. Buyers who want a specific color, interior, and option combination for a Z06 or above should initiate the conversation early and be prepared to place an order rather than purchase off the lot.

For Stingray and Grand Sport buyers, in-stock inventory is more readily available, and current market conditions mean that negotiating on price and trade-in value is more straightforward than during the supply-constrained period of the early 2020s. Your Starling Chevrolet St. Cloud team can review current allocation and inventory to give you an accurate picture of availability for your desired configuration.

One additional consideration for Florida buyers is the gas guzzler tax. One consideration for every buyer is the gas guzzler tax. It is a federal excise tax collected at the point of sale, $2,600 on the Z06 and ZR1X and $3,000 on the ZR1 and on a Z06 with the Carbon Aero package. It is not a dealer fee, it is not negotiable, and it is not included in the MSRPs above. Florida sales tax applies separately. Your sales consultant can walk through the full out-the-door breakdown so there are no surprises at signing.

2027 Corvette Color and Option Highlights Worth Knowing

Beyond the trim level, Corvette buyers have access to an extensive palette of exterior colors and a set of options that can meaningfully transform the car’s character. For 2027, Chevrolet continues to offer several colors exclusively to specific trims. The ZR1 and ZR1X offer colors that are not available on the Stingray, reinforcing their positioning as distinct machines within the lineup rather than simply more powerful versions of the entry model.

Key options across the lineup include the Z51 Performance Package on the Stingray at $5,395, down from $6,345 on the 2026 because the performance exhaust is now standard on every Stingray. It adds Z51 brakes and suspension, a 5.56 rear axle ratio, an electronic limited-slip differential, the upgraded M1N eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, a Z51 rear spoiler and front splitter, heavy-duty cooling, and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 S tires. For Stingray buyers who plan to attend track events, the Z51 is often considered essential, and it is what unlocks the 2.8-second 0-60 figure.

For buyers considering the convertible body style, the difference in driving character between the Coupe and Convertible is worth understanding. The Convertible uses a retractable hardtop that stows in the trunk, reducing cargo space but preserving the structural rigidity of a hardtop design. In Florida’s climate, the Convertible has obvious appeal, and the hardtop design eliminates the wind noise and insulation concerns associated with traditional soft tops. The price premium for the Convertible is $7,000 across the Stingray, Grand Sport, Grand Sport X and Z06, and $10,000 on the ZR1 and ZR1X. In Florida’s climate most buyers consider it worthwhile, and because the retractable hardtop preserves the structural rigidity of a hardtop design, there is no dynamic penalty to weigh against it.
