Chevrolet has introduced the Heritage Package for Corvette Grand Sport, at the SEMA Motor Show in Las Vegas.
Essentially a collection of accessories, the Heritage Package offers styling details such as mesh inserts for the front fender vents, ZR1-inspired bodywork, dark chrome badges, body-colored door handles, and a "tech" pattern engine cover. Inside, the Heritage Package features floor mats with the Grand Sport logo, red accent stitching on the shifter knob and parking brake, "tech" pattern interior trim, iPod connectivity, a convertible wind screen, racing-style pedals, and an interior storage package.
As we have previously reported, the Corvette Grand Sport is a track-oriented model with wider tires, a sportier suspension, and unique styling. Powered by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine, with 430 hp (321kW) and 424 lb-ft (575Nm) of torque, the Grand Sport can run from 0-60 mph in less than four seconds and pull 1.0 g on the skid pad.

Earlier this year, Chevrolet announced the return of the Corvette Grand Sport model. It’s a track-oriented Corvette with wider wheels and tires, special suspension tuning and unique exterior details. The Corvette Grand Sport achieves a 0-60 time of less than four seconds, pulls 1.0 g on the skid pad and still boasts an EPA-rated highway fuel economy 26 mpg.
The version displayed at SEMA introduces a host of Grand Sport accessories that will be offered in 2010. It is a standard Grand Sport convertible equipped with the Heritage Package, but in a new Cyber Grey exterior color, with forthcoming accessories that include:
