ELIZABETH CITY, NC. – If fast cars with incredible
performance and style are your type of thing, you’re going to want to check out the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport.
The Corvette debuted this week at the Geneva International Motor Show this
week, and it definitely turned heads.
The 2017 Corvette Grand Sport screams racecar with its
lightweight build, a track-honed aerodynamics package, Michelin tires, and an
engine made for performance. With an estimated 1.05g in cornering capability,
and 1.2g with the Z07 package, you better make sure you’re buckled up!
With over 50 years of Corvette racing, this 2017 Corvette
has a lot to prove, so there was no holding back when it came to
style and performance. The original Grand Sport, made in 1963, inspired the
style of the 2017 model. The racing DNA offers this Corvette the technology and
performance that one would need on a track.
Mark Reuss, executive
vice president of Global Product Development and Global Purchasing and Supply
Chain, explained, “Racing has been part of Corvette’s essence for more than 50
years and that track experience has helped us build better, more capable cars.
The global acclaim for the seventh-generation Corvette validates that direct
link and the 2017 Grand Sport takes its track-bred technology to a new,
exciting threshold.”
