3HISTORY 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
long-running 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.
