Earlier this year, Chevrolet announced the return of the Corvette Grand Sport model. It's a track-oriented Corvette with wider wheels and tires, special suspension tuning and unique exterior details. The Corvette Grand Sport achieves a 0-60 time of less than four seconds, pulls 1.0 g on the skidpad and still boasts an EPA-rated highway fuel economy 26 mpg.
The version displayed at SEMA introduces a host of Grand Sport accessories that will be offered in 2010. It is a standard Grand Sports convertible equipped with the Heritage Package, but in a new Cyber Grey exterior color, with forthcoming accessories that include:
* Mesh inserts for the front fender vents
* ZR1-style front splitter and rear spoiler (painted satin black)
* ZR1-style rocker extensions and wheel spats (painted satin black)
* Body-color door handles and license plate frame
* Tinted dark chrome fender badges
* “Tech” pattern engine cover with red lettering inserts
* Grand Sport-logo hood blanket
* Grand Sport-logo floor mats and leather console cover
* Red stitched shifter knob/boot and red parking brake boot
* “Tech” pattern interior trim kit
* PAL iPod connector
* Convertible wind screen
* Racing-style pedal covers
* Interior storage pouches
The Grand Sport accessories are expected to go on sale in early 2010. They're available through any Chevrolet or other authorized GM dealer.
