The 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe brings meaningful changes over the 2026 model year, with the most significant being the all-new 6.7L LS6 V8 engine replacing the 6.2L LT2, a new 8-speed dual-clutch transmission option (M1N), and a refreshed standard wheel package. Several popular wheel options were discontinued (Q8P, Q8Q, Q9Y, QE5) while new forged aluminum designs were added. On the performance side, the NPP performance exhaust and NGA exhaust tips both moved from available to standard equipment. The exterior gains new stripe, ground effects, and accessory options, while the interior adds 3-year OnStar One and SiriusXM subscriptions. The full comparison table below shows every option added, removed, or changed between the 2026 Corvette Stingray Coupe order guide and the 2027 Corvette Stingray Coupe order guide, sourced directly from official Chevrolet factory order guide documents.
