In some ways, Chevrolet’s new Corvette E-Ray is pretty cool. “In 1953, the enthusiastic reaction to the Chevrolet Corvette concept kicked off seven decades of passion, performance and American ingenuity,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors president. “E-Ray, as the first electrified, all-wheel-drive Corvette, takes it a step further and expands the promise of what Corvette can deliver.”
This dual drivetrain configuration can automatically manage itself in several modes, including a “stealth mode,” where the Corvette can run on electric power only up to 45 MPH. For people who opt for a noisy exhaust system, this is particularly important, as it allows you to get out of your neighborhood before starting that V8 engine and making racket early in the morning or late at night.
Bottom line here: GM knows how to build a plugin hybrid. It knows that people like plugin hybrids. It has the technology, the institutional know-how, and the patent portfolio to make it happen and do a good job of it.What GM Should Have Done Finally, GM obviously knows how to build mid-engined cars. The current generation of Corvette is a great example, but GM built the Pontiac Fiero from 1984-1988, and enthusiasts have swapped newer V8 engine setups into them to build a poor man’s version of today’s Corvette. A variety of other drivetrains have found their way into Fieros in people’s garages, too.
