Corvette E-Ray

A hybrid Vette that retains a V8 engine! Oh, and it's also AWD...

Chevy’s First Hybrid Corvette, the E-Ray, Is Finally Here—and It Still Has a V-8

It's taken 70 years, but the first electrified 'Vette is now upon us, and it's the fastest one yet.

The mill is a 6.2-liter LT2 V-8 just like in the Stingray and can make 495 hp and 470 ft lbs of torque. Meanwhile, the front-positioned electric motor, which is powered by a 1.9-kWh battery, produces an additional 160 hp and 125 ft lbs of torque. Combine the two and you get 655 horses sad 595 ft lbs of twist, making the E-Ray one of the most powerful ‘Vettes ever (it’s only 15 hp less powerful than the high-performance Z06). But where it can’t be matched is acceleration. The E-Ray can rocket from 0-to-60 mph in just 2.5 seconds and cover the quarter-mile in an equally impressive 10.5 seconds. There’s no Corvette that gets there faster.
