Chevrolet hikes 2027 Corvette prices; CGI Corsica Z26

Chevrolet increased MSRP by $300 across the 2027 C8 Corvette lineup and updated its online configurator to reflect the change.

The base 2027 Corvette Stingray Coupe now starts at $71,300, the Grand Sport at $86,300 and the ZR1X at $227,800.

The update appeared while the 2026 Paris Motor Show drew industry attention.

Rising costs including inflation, tariffs and global unrest have pushed new-vehicle prices higher; observers also point to manufacturer pricing as a factor.

Chevrolet still lists lower-priced models: the Trax and Trailblazer subcompact crossovers start at under $22,000 and $24,000 respectively, sans destination, and the all-electric Bolt is offered for under $28,000.

Aside from the two-seat Corvette, Chevrolet has no new passenger car on sale until a promised Camaro revival reaches production.

For comparison, the 2026 Ford Mustang EcoBoost starts at $33,000, sans destination.

Separately, digital artist Jim, known online as "jlord8," published an unofficial render that reimagines the Chevrolet Corsica as a simple four-door Corsica Z26 sedan.

The original Corsica was produced for the 1986 through 1996 model years and was offered as a five-door hatchback and a four-door sedan; the Beretta two-door coupe served as a companion nameplate. The artist borrowed the Z26 designation from the Beretta and applied a restrained, contemporary design language.

jlord8’s gallery also includes hypothetical revivals such as the Ford Taurus SHO, Mazda MX-6, various Buick T-Types, the Ford Contour ST and the Lincoln Town Car.

The Corsica Z26 render is unofficial and hypothetical and does not represent an announced Chevrolet product.
