See where 430 hp can take you

Sun, sky, moon and stars. Corvette convertible lets you enjoy it all, thanks to 430 hp and a standard manual top or an available power top that lets you raise the roof in 18 seconds without leaving the driver seat. For grand touring or just a weekend escape, a fully enclosed trunk allows you to take luggage or two golf bags - all with the top down. New for 2011 is a Blue convertible top color (late availability). Black, Beige and Gray continue to be available.

Open-air Exhilaration

Corvette convertible boasts a standard 430-hp LS3 V8. You can order the available dual-mode exhaust system to boost total horsepower to 436. Engage the road with a standard short-throw six-speed transmission (0-to-60 mph in 4.2 seconds on the test track) or available Six-Speed Paddle Shift automatic. An enclosed trunk offers luggage space for a weekend getaway or room for two golf bags.

"Drivers experience awesome V8 power, amazing handling and an interior filled with more creature comforts than some luxury cars." - Kelley Blue Book's kbb.com

Grand Sport coupe: a noble namesake

Grand Sport echoes from the formative days of the 1960s when Corvette was cutting its teeth in brutal endurance races such as Les 24 Heures du Mans and the 12 Hours of Sebring.  Those learnings applied, today's Grand Sport coupe offers one of the best combinations of all-out performance and efficiency of any sports car. 

"Like all Corvettes, it has strong grip and excellent midrange power, with the added bonus of the Z06's stunning brakes." -Car and Driver on the 2010 Lightning Lap

The available Magnetic Selective Ride Control, available on select models, 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. There are two cockpit settings: "Tour" and "Sport." This option also includes larger, crossed-drilled brake rotors.

Purposeful design

The unmistakable look of Grand Sport coupe is attributed to its wider track accentuated with fender flares and a wider front fascia and front splitter. A higher rear spoiler and special five-spoke Grand Sport wheels with Goodyear® Eagle® F1 Supercar tires further underline its purposeful look.
