2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Hot Springs AR

The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is the model that redefines the entry point, because for 2027 it carries the new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 making 535 horsepower, not the 490-horsepower engine of the year before. Starting at $71,000, it is the most accessible way into the mid-engine Corvette, and for a driver in Hot Springs, Malvern or Arkadelphia it is the one to own and enjoy on the everyday road.

Allen Tillery Chevrolet orders and stocks the Stingray in coupe and convertible form. Here is what defines it and where it sits against the rest of the range.

What the Stingray Adds for 2027

For 2027, the big news sits under the hood. The Stingray now shares the LS6 6.7-liter V8 with the Grand Sport, so it makes 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft, a real jump over the prior 6.2-liter car. Everything that makes a Corvette a Corvette is here at the entry price: the mid-engine layout, the removable roof panel, the twin trunks and the redesigned three-screen cabin. It is rear-wheel drive and, in the lighter narrow body, the most playful of the lineup on a real road.

2027 Stingray Engine and Drivetrain

The naturally aspirated LS6 6.7-liter V8 makes 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque, which Chevrolet notes is the highest torque of any naturally aspirated production V8. It drives the rear wheels through an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic and reaches 60 mph in 2.8 seconds with available equipment, with a quarter mile of 11.0 seconds at 124 mph. There is no all-wheel-drive or hybrid option on the Stingray; that belongs to the ZR1X and the Grand Sport X.

Stingray Chassis and Hardware

Underneath, the base car sits on Brembo antilock discs with 19-inch wheels at the front and 20-inch at the rear. One option changes the character of all of it. Ticking Z51 re-specifies the brakes and suspension, adds an electronic limited-slip differential and a shorter rear axle ratio, bolts on a splitter and spoiler, upgrades the cooling for repeated hard use and puts Michelin Pilot Sport S 5 summer rubber under it. On Highway 7 the difference is body control; on a track day it is the difference between one good session and several.

Stingray Pricing and Packages

Prices exclude the $2,495 destination charge. The Stingray is a strict two-seater; its 12.6 cubic feet of luggage room is split between a front and a rear trunk, and it carries no tow rating.

The Stingray in the Corvette Lineup

The Stingray is the foundation of the range. Above it, the Grand Sport takes the same LS6 into the wide body with track hardware; the Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X add progressively more specialized engines. For the full technical picture see the specs page, and to weigh it against its siblings see the models compared page.

Which Buyer Should Choose the Stingray?

• The first-time Corvette buyer: it delivers the full mid-engine experience for the least money.
• The daily-and-weekend driver: the lighter narrow body and broad tire choice make it the most livable of the range.
• The value-focused enthusiast: 535 horsepower and a 2.8-second 0-60 for $71,000 is the performance bargain of the lineup. Build yours in the Stingray inventory.
