When #CorvetteERay engineers went to their electric powertrain colleagues to help slap an electric motor into the front of a #c8corvette Stingray, they told them they “don’t care about range at all”. Its main purpose is to enhance performance, approachability, and livability.
The 2024 Corvette E-Ray is a mid-engine, all wheel drive, V8, hybrid supercar that makes 655 combined horsepower and 590lb-ft of torque. Sitting smack in the middle of its widened chassis shared with the Z06 is a 1.9 kwh battery pack that sends 160hp to the front axle, while the 6.2L LT2 V8 from the base Stingray sends 495hp to the rear.
The electrified additions add about 250lbs to the E-Ray’s curb weight over the Z06, weighing in at 3775 pounds. Despite the weight gain, it’s good for a 0-60 sprint of just 2.5 seconds and a quarter mile time of 10.5 seconds. On paper that not only competes with, but bests almost all of its direct competition from Europe including the nearly 1 Million dollar Porsche 918 Spyder.
