For its 70th birthday, Corvette is not slowing down, with the AWD E-Ray capable of 0-to-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, GM says.
, for those wondering. Setting the E-Ray apart is the 160 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque electric motor that feeds the front wheels.
This brings the combined output to 655 hp, which puts it just shy of the C7 Z06’s 670-hp figure. Powering the electric motor is a 1.9-kWh battery that’s packaged between the seats. While the new Z06, with its 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8, has been clocked under 3 seconds in 0-to-60 mph testing, Chevy says the E-Ray can do it in 2.5 seconds.While the electric motor improves straight-line performance and likely will help claw you out of a slow-speed corner, the hybrid system does much more.
This package all rides on a set of staggered 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels that are available in four aluminum finishes. If aluminum alloy wheels aren’t nice enough, GM will offer a set of carbon-fiber wheels, too. On the inside, you can keep track of your hybrid ‘Vette through the E-Ray Performance App in the infotainment system. This app gives you a dyno to track power, a performance data breakdown, and a set of extra gauges to chart what your ‘Vette is doing.
This whole package should make the hybrid ‘Vette a fun machine on the streets and at your local track, but with a heft price tag. The ’24 Chevy Corvette E-Ray coupe will start at $104,295. That number climbs to $111,295 if you want the top to go away. Of course, that number will only climb with options and—ahem—dealer market adjustments. That’s nearly a $40,000 premium on top of the base
