It\u2019s hard to imagine that anyone in the world was demanding a hybrid Corvette, but those crazy engineers at Chevrolet went and did it anyway. Meet the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, but if you\u2019re already angry at the concept, you shouldn't be.<\/p>\n
The hybrid drive here isn\u2019t to raise the efficiency of perhaps America\u2019s most iconic sports car. Oh no. It\u2019s only here to make it faster. 0 to 60 in 2.5 seconds and a quarter-mile in 10.5 fast. The electric motor up front adds 160 horsepower to the 495 that comes from the LT2 V8 in the back. Yes, it can be driven for a few miles emissions-free, but more important is how it boosts acceleration.<\/p>\n
It helps the handling, too. The Stingray is a notorious understeerer on the track. The E-Ray does too, but give it a little throttle and that magic front electric motor pulls the nose right around and through. It\u2019s a delight, and so is the E-Ray \u2013 a $104,295 delight. It definitely comes at a premium over the base Stingray, but those looking for the ultimate all-round, all-season \u2018Vette have a new choice. Watch the video below for our full impressions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
