HISTORY of Grand Sport
1963
Corvette purpose-built race car to win Sebring and Le Mans
The envisioned Grand Sport would be the ultimate Corvette, a
lightweight, powerful factory built racer.
Only 5 were built out of the planned 125.
1996
The Corvette Design Team wanted to do a fitting 'close' for the longrunning C4 body style.
Only 1000 were built all Blue with White stripes and red hash marks.
The 1996 version used the standard Corvette engine (LT4) with wider
ZR1 size wheels, tires, and chassis components.
The 2010 version will use the standard Corvette engine with wider
Z06 size wheels, tires, brakes, and chassis.
