Video: There are only 5 Corvette Grand Sports and they sound incredible

The Grand Sport moniker originally seen tacked to a clandestine attempt to take the original Stingray racing. An attempt aimed directly at the then-dominant and now-iconic Shelby Cobra. Lightened, widened and furnished with 427 cubic inches of muscle, the Grand Sport was pegged for a 100-car run and a crack at Le Mans, but following the project being canned by Chevrolet, just five made it out of the gates. Zora Arkus-Duntov, robbed of his passion project, would see the five go private in the hands of drivers such as Roger Penske. It is one of these five glorious machines that we see take to Laguna Seca in the on board video above. That blue and white colour scheme is now as recognisable as the massive V8 is sonorous and powerful.
