GeigerCars 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pumping out 430-hp, the Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport runs a 0-60 mph time in less than 4 seconds – and that may be very impressive to most out there but tuner GeigerCars thinks it can do better. Meet the 2010 GeigerCars Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport.<\/p>\n

Power has been increased from 430-hp to a total of 588-hp with a maximum torque of 544 lb-ft. While GeigerCars doesn’t confirm exact 0-60 mph numbers (says its less than 4 seconds), it says that top speed has been increased to a whopping 209 mph.<\/p>\n

Living in Europe, the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport will cost you 66,900 Euros ($89,140 USD), but GeigerCars performance upgrades will run you back an additional 16,450 Euros ($21,918 USD) and 2,800 Euros ($3,730 USD) for a modified transmission ratio.<\/p>\n

GeigerCars.de GmbH – Corvette Grand Sport<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name “Grand Sport” is entrenched in the racing history of the Chevrolet Corvette. Now, for the 2010 model year, there is a new edition that evokes memories of the racecars of the seventies – and Geigercars.de has already given these rockets an additional performance upgrade.<\/p>\n

With the LS3 V8 under the bonnet, and the corresponding 430 hp and 575 Nm in torque, the Grand Sport is certainly not short of legs when it leaves the factory. But why be satisfied with production line performance, when tuning specialist Geigercars.de can give you something more? Thanks to the Munich pros, a supercharger with a fat 2.3 litres capacity sits on top of the eight-cylinder engine, which itself exhibits a volume of 6.2 litres. The result is a growth in the power of the Corvette to an immense 588 hp at 6,490 rpm, and torque of 738 Nm at 4,030 rpm. This ultimate sports car negotiates the sprint to 100 km\/h in less than four seconds from contact, and it’s not until reaching 337 km\/h that the Geigercars.de rocket is forced to relent to wind resistance.<\/p>\n

The Grand Sport impresses both aesthetically and technically, with wider front and rear fenders with additional vents, to accommodate the larger brakes of the sister model Z06 with its 355 mm, six-cylinder discs at the front axle, and 340 mm, four-cylinder discs at the rear. The front diffuser and larger rear spoiler are also borrowed from the engineers of the Corvette Z06. Sway bars, shock absorbers and springs have also been overhauled in addition to the six-speed transmission, while a dry sump oil system and differential cooler are also on board. The battery of the Grand Sport has been relocated to the rear. Optimum road contact is guaranteed by the 18 and 19 inch light alloy rims, with 275\/35 and imposing 325\/30 tyres.<\/p>\n

Special factory-installed emblems on the front fenders, and not least the special graphics applied by Geigercars.de to the fenders, bonnet and boot lid, draw even the untrained eye to the character of this very special elite athlete – and underline that certain something about the entire project perfectly.<\/p>\n
