Rumors point to a new Corvette Grand Sport powered by a big, naturally aspirated V8, possibly as large as 6.7 liters. If true, it would be one of the largest engines ever fitted to a modern Corvette, delivering the kind of raw sound and throttle response enthusiasts crave.
Expect a wide-body stance, serious grip, and a no-nonsense performance focus, slotting perfectly between the Stingray and the more extreme Z06 and ZR1. No hybrid tricks. No turbos. Just classic Corvette muscle, refined for today.
If this comes to pass, the Grand Sport could once again be the Corvette sweet spot and one of the most exciting additions yet.

91-Year-Old Vet Says Farewell To His
1966 Corvette After A Lifetime Together
Courtesy of Karen93003 on Instagram!
A 91-year-old military veteran recently brought a lifelong chapter to a close, parting ways with his one-owner 1966 Chevrolet Corvette, a moment that quietly illustrated how deeply cars can weave themselves into our lives. Captured in a short Instagram video, the scene shows the Corvette leaving the man’s home for the final time. As it rolled down the driveway, the veteran stood at attention and raised a salute, a simple, deeply personal gesture that spoke volumes about his service, his pride, and the bond he shared with the car for decades.
The brief clip struck an emotional chord with viewers almost instantly. Comments poured in, not just from car enthusiasts, but from people who recognized the deeper truth on display: that for many owners, a car is far more than transportation. It becomes a keeper of memories, milestones, and moments, an extension of identity that’s nearly impossible to measure, but impossible to forget.
