200 MPH Just Got a Lot Cheaper Thanks to the 2027 Corvette Stingray
Key takeaways
- At just over $73,000, Chevrolet’s sports car is the cheapest way to hit the 200-mph barrier.
- If the need for top speed is in your blood, then Chevrolet has good news for you.
- Since it’s narrower than the Z06 and ZR1, that, and the 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque from the Corvette’s all-new 6.7-liter LS6 are more than enough to get it there, and then some.
Why this matters: an automotive development that could shape industry direction or buying decisions.

If the need for top speed is in your blood, then Chevrolet has good news for you. It used National Corvette Day to announce that its base 2027 Corvette is now capable of reaching the famed 200-mph mark, and even better, it does it for far less than six figures. According to Chevy, the $73,495 Corvette Stingray 1LT is now capable of reaching its new top speed thanks to its sleek aero and the new, more powerful sixth-generation GM V-8.
Since it’s narrower than the Z06 and ZR1, that, and the 535 horsepower and 520 lb-ft of torque from the Corvette’s all-new 6.7-liter LS6 are more than enough to get it there, and then some. Not bad for an American sports car that can still pull daily-driver duty.
