Chevrolet has just revealed the 655bhp Corvette E-Ray 👀 Complete with a 6.2-litre V8 and front-mounted electric motor, it promises to be the fastest accelerating 'Vette yet

Chief engineer Tadge Juechter said:"Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and [the] E-Ray nails it. The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.”

The car's so-called eAWD system is said to be"constantly learning the road surface" and adjusting the deployment of power to all four wheels according to driver input and road conditions, with the electric motor contributing more power in slippery environments or"spirited driving" scenarios. Power for the electrified element of the powertrain is stored in a small 1.9kWh lithium ion battery, which is topped up via regenerative braking.

Chevrolet hasn't given an electric-only range but has said the E-Ray can be driven at up to 45mph with the engine off in its new Stealth Mode - one of six driving modes offered, each of which gives varying degrees of electrical assistance. The electric motor can also be used at a cruise to bolster the E-Ray's reserves when the engine is running on only four cylinders to save fuel.

Dubai nepo babies might buy a few. Young Bidens will not.

The only non-plug in hybrids that sell in any numbers are PRICED REALISTICALLY. eray is $40,000 above base. 60% premium means sales will not be good. Look at ANY hybrid price model to confirm. Price gouging on hybrid models DOESNT WORK.

Going to be embarrassing to see it dominated by the Tesla Model S Plaid in all aspects.

I just don’t get it. It has a 6.2 v8, so it’s not green. The battery just seems to be there to get you to a gas station if you run out. The design is almost great, just needs round tail lights and a round steering wheel. Not everything needs to be sharp.

Imponente

Corvette🔥

So a chevy nsx

🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂....NOT an E anything!!!

It’s a hybrid with an incredibly small battery & very large V8 - the electric motors driving the front wheels. That’s not mega revolutionary and also means the 655bhp is with full charge available sometimes for a little bit 🤷🏻‍♂️

Having seen a video on this and hearing about the size of the battery, which is about the size of an iPhone battery, it seems rather pointless to me.

I'm sold. That color and that particular interior on a supercar performance!! Better than FordGt. Definitely a good choice.

Woah

Fucking hell it looks badass. 🔥🔥

The final bow 🙇🏾‍♂️

what in gods name is that climate control stick

So it’s a half breed
