Believe It or Not: GM Made the Top Supercar of 2016
|
Version 0 of 1. From the stunning McLaren 570GT to the mind-blowing Bentley Mulsanne speed, TheStreet has tested its fair share of amazing new supercars this year. But when all is said and done, it's an icon of America's roads that receives our award for "Top Supercar of 2016." That is none other than General Motors (GM) newest Corvette with the "Grand Sport" trim package. The 2017 Corvette Grand Sport is an intimidating looking car that when set to sport mode let's out a proud thunderous roar with a quick tap on the gas pedal. A 6.2 litre 460 horsepower V8 engine propels this updated American legend from 0-60 mph in 3.6 seconds, faster than the 4 seconds it takes for the Corvette base model Stringray. A supercar is supposed to be fun to drive. It shouldn't conjure up constant worry to the driver of losing control on a dry highway or being absurdly intimidating to take on a short cruise to the the beach. To be sure, the $88,000 Grand Sport didn't suffer from either factor. |
