SEMA & Superformance Press Releases:
GMPP AND SUPERFORMANCE TEAM UP FOR A CORVETTE MASTERPIECE
Built for nothing more than pure speed, the 1963 Corvette Grand Sport announced to the world that Chevrolet was ready to take on all comers. Under the direction of Zora Arkus-Duntov, Chevrolet engineers built a lightweight racecar, served up 500+ horsepower small blocks, and sent the competition back to the drawing board. Unfortunately, only five of them were ever built.
At SEMA this year, we were stoked to bring the spirit of this Corvette classic to a wider audience with the E-ROD Corvette Grand Sport. Thanks to the collaborative efforts of Chevrolet, Duntov Motor Company, and Superformance LLC, the E-ROD Corvette Grand Sport is a stunning true-to-form replica of the vaunted '63 Grand Sport.
Owning an original Grand Sport is not an option for most of us. With this painstakingly re-created Corvette Grand Sport, that original experience is finally within reach. The Superformance E-ROD Corvette Grand Sport coupe or roadster is now available as a complete TKM (turn key minus) vehicle, awaiting your choice of engine and transmission. Our build team chose the top dog — the 556 hp/551 lb-ft. E-ROD LSA.
