2012 Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvertte

The Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette is racing inspired, which means you feel as close to the track behind the wheel no matter where you're driving. That performance DNA runs through every inch of Grand Sport, pulling performance features from the track-ready Z06 and combining them with Corvette's street-ready features like its removable roof panel, and available six-speed paddle shift automatic transmission. The 2012 Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette boasts 0—60 mph under four seconds, 1g lat capability on the test track. Not to mention and an impressive 26 MPG highway fuel economy on your everyday drive. It's powerful combination of performance and efficiency. They include enhancements to the high-performance Z06 and ZR1 models.

Heighten its performance with the Z52 Performance Package with manual transmission and the dry sump oil system, or opt for available Magnetic Selective Ride Control that includes Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car Gen 2 tires. A fuel efficiency of 26 MPG highway paired with performance capability that reaches 0—60 mph in under four seconds, 1g-force cornering and 430 horsepower is nothing less than an achievement in modern engineering. And that's how we see the 2012 Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette an achievement. Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette with features such as its wide body stance, fine-tuned power-to-weight ratio, Grand Sport Corvette is more than a luxury sports car boasting optimized suspension with specific stabilizer bars, stiffer springs and shock absorbers. And for increased stopping performance there's larger than base brake rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers.

The Grand Sport Corvette with launch control will do the rest. Standard with the short-throw six-speed manual gearbox, it modulates engine rpm in competitive mode to lay the power down more smoothly while providing consistent acceleration times on the test track. The available Magnetic Selective Ride Control stiffens suspension capability for twisty roads while providing a more compliant ride for city driving and freeways. Here's how it works. An electromagnetic coil resides inside each damper piston. When an electrical current is applied variably controlled by a microprocessor ferrous particles in the shock fluid instantly bond, making the fluid more flow resistant, effectively stiffening the shock's damping. Conversely, when the electromagnetic field is reduced, the fluid flows more freely, allowing easier suspension movement.

Chevrolet Grand Sport Corvette is born of modern technology seen in its hydroformed structure or in options such as Magnetic Selective Ride Control, but Grand Sport Corvette also includes modern technology features that keep you connected to your life. For even more convenience, the all-new Technology Package standard on the reconfigured 2LT brings together many of the most popular infotainment features such as navigation radio, Head-Up Display, Bose premium audio system, SiriusXM Satellite Radio services for one year, Bluetooth wireless technology for select phones and a USB port.
