2027 Corvette Specs and Dimensions Hot Springs AR

Here are the hard numbers on the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette, each sourced from Chevrolet and dated, with the figures that actually differ between the five models called out per model. For how these translate into a buying decision, see the Corvette overview and the trims and pricing page.

Engine Specifications

All five run an 8-speed dual-clutch automatic. The Stingray and Grand Sport share the naturally aspirated LS6; the Z06 has its own naturally aspirated LT6; the ZR1 and ZR1X share the twin-turbo LT7, with the ZR1X adding a 186-horsepower front electric motor for all-wheel drive. The ZR1 reaches a 233-mph top speed in low-drag form.

Exterior Dimensions

Only the Stingray uses the narrow body; the Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X all use the wider body, which measures 79.7 inches across excluding mirrors. An available front-axle lift raises the nose for steep driveways and speed bumps, and each car's GVWR is printed on its federal door-jamb label.

Curb and Dry Weight by Model

A note on weights: Chevrolet publishes dry weights for the track cars, and a dry weight is lighter than the real curb weight once fluids are aboard, so the two are not the same number. The Grand Sport's 3,520 pounds is a curb figure from Chevrolet's own configurator; the ZR1's 3,670 pounds is a published dry weight; the hybrid ZR1X is the heaviest Corvette ever. We confirm the exact figure for a specific build at order time.

Interior Dimensions

The interior figures above are Chevrolet's for the wide-body configuration and are representative of the cabin across the range; at 42.8 inches of front legroom, the C8 fits tall drivers better than its low roofline suggests. Cargo is split between a front trunk and a rear trunk for a combined 12.6 cubic feet; the coupe's lift-out roof panel rides in the rear trunk when removed.

Capacity and Capability

As a two-seat, mid-engine sports car, the 2027 Corvette carries no factory tow rating and no payload rating; those are capabilities its vehicle class does not have, and any figure you see attached to a Corvette is an error. Its practical capability is fuel range and cargo: an 18.5-gallon tank and 12.6 cubic feet of trunk space are enough for a two-person weekend down to Arkadelphia or a lap of the hills west of Hot Springs.

Wheels, Tires, and Brakes

The ZR1X carries the largest brakes ever fitted to a Corvette, with 16.5-inch front and rear rotors and Alcon 10-piston front and 6-piston rear calipers. The Stingray runs 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels; the wide-body models step up to 20-inch front and 21-inch rear.

Fuel Economy and Range

The EPA rates the 2027 Stingray at 15 mpg city, 25 highway and 18 combined, and the Grand Sport at 15 city, 23 highway and 17 combined. The three track models land where their power suggests: 12 city, 21 highway and 15 combined for the Z06, 12/18/14 for the ZR1 and 12/19/14 for the ZR1X. All five take premium unleaded from an 18.5-gallon tank, and the figure you actually see depends far more on the road than on the badge — an afternoon of switchbacks and a steady run down toward Arkadelphia return very different numbers from the same car.

Key Features by Trim

This is the decision grid; the full per-level equipment walk lives on the trims and pricing page. The head-up display is standard from the 1LZ on the Z06 and from the 2LT on the Stingray, which is why it reads as varying at the entry level.

Safety and Compliance

The driver aids are the sports-car essentials, not a long suite. Braking and collision warnings, a rear camera and park assist are fitted to every model from the entry level, and the blind-spot and cross-traffic alerts join from the second equipment level up. No Corvette offers a hands-free highway mode. Because this is a low-volume performance car, it goes untested by the federal and insurance crash programs, so there is no star rating to cite; it is certified to the same standards required of every car registered around Hot Springs and Malvern.

Warranty Coverage

Warranty terms are verified from Chevrolet for this model year; for service intervals and ownership costs, see the Corvette maintenance and service page.

Specifications FAQs

How wide is the 2027 Corvette?

The narrow-body Stingray is 76.1 inches wide excluding mirrors; the wide-body Grand Sport, Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X are 79.7 inches. All share a 107.0-inch wheelbase and a 48.6-inch height.

How much does a 2027 Corvette weigh?

Weights vary by model and basis: the Grand Sport has a 3,520-pound curb weight from Chevrolet, the ZR1 a published 3,670-pound dry weight, and the hybrid ZR1X is the heaviest Corvette in the lineup. Dry weights run lighter than real curb weights once fluids are aboard.

How much cargo space does the 2027 Corvette have?

It offers 12.6 cubic feet of combined trunk space, split between a front trunk and a rear trunk. The coupe's roof panel and a full load of luggage compete for the rear trunk, so plan a top-down drive accordingly.

What is the 2027 Corvette's fuel economy?

The EPA has not yet posted 2027 Corvette ratings, and because the Stingray and Grand Sport use the new LS6 engine, older figures do not apply. Check fueleconomy.gov for the official rating when it publishes; the Z06, ZR1 and ZR1X carry the federal Gas Guzzler tax.

Does the 2027 Corvette have a front-axle lift?

Yes, an available front-axle lift raises the nose at low speed to help clear steep driveways, speed bumps and parking blocks, then lowers as you accelerate. It is a common addition for a low sports car that sees real roads.

How fast is the 2027 Corvette?

The Stingray reaches 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, the Z06 in 2.6, the ZR1 in 2.3 and the ZR1X in 1.89 seconds. The ZR1 tops out at 233 mph in low-drag form, the highest of any Corvette.

What is the 2027 Corvette's warranty coverage?

The Corvette is warranted 3 years/36,000 miles basic, 5 years/60,000 miles on the powertrain and 6 years/100,000 miles against rust, matching the wider Chevrolet lineup.

Does the 2027 Corvette have all-wheel drive?

Only the ZR1X, which uses a front electric motor for electrified all-wheel drive. The Stingray, Grand Sport, Z06 and ZR1 are rear-wheel drive.
