2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport

Description

This 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport is a true low-mileage modern classic. After all, it has automatic climate control, a push-button ignition, plenty of airbags, and the best in technology to make it a very current machine. But when you've also got a fuel-injected LS3 V8, six-speed, and such an aggressive factory body, it awakens your true enthusiast driving spirit every time you go for a drive.

The factory Crystal Red Metallic is a terrific color to have. It gives you the red-blooded American style you love in a Corvette, but it's done in a deeper and more sophisticated tone to really get it noticed. This added upper-class appeal fits this coupe nicely because it has also been treated with the proper respect. That's why there's even a 3M clear bra protecting the front. The finish is smooth to the touch, and the metallic element makes sure the sunshine loves to radiate off the extra-clean creases of the body. Competing for the shine are the great thin-spoke chrome wheels. While these Grand Sport special alloys look great, they actually serve the function of allowing for wider tires on these widebody GS cars. In fact, the Grand Sport is specifically designed to be a more competition-focused coupe. There are more intakes for better inhaling, spoilers for better airflow, and plenty of scoops in the sides to keep the brakes cool. It all makes for a more aggressive look that also adds to its sports car function.

This may have a similar body to a Corvette Z06, but one thing the GS offers that's not in the other is the hallmark targa roof. So this one lets you open up to the world and show off the pristine leather interior. And so it's great to see they chose Cashmere tan inside because it looks so good against the deep red exterior. This is an upper-trim 2LT model, and so you also have a long list of desirable luxury features. It includes dual-zone automatic A/C climate control, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/ alarm, cruise control, and an AM/FM/XM/NAV touchscreen infotainment system with Bose speakers. A modern classic also gets modern safety features such as dual front airbags, side airbags, and ABS. It's a true driver's sports car with power seats that also remember your driving position. A sports steering wheel, tilt column, and a full set of crisp glowing gauges. And a head-up display means you don't even have to take your eyes off the road for all the vital info.

The 6.2-liter fuel-injected LS3 motor is now legendary in Corvette circles. It was an awesome powerhouse that unleashed the C6 Corvette's full sports car sensation. This is the numbers-matching motor, and it retains the same fresh and clean look like the whole car. This is a desirable six-speed example. So not only do you get full control of the V8, but also these have a dry-sump oiling system. Plus, this has the dual-mode exhaust system that increases the total power output of 436 horsepower. There's also power steering, a fully independent sports suspension, and a larger set of vented power disc brakes at all four wheels.

Complete with owner's manual, this is a low-mileage modern classic. So if you love them sleek, mean, premium, and fresh, don't miss this Grand Sport. Call today!!!
