1st hybrid Corvette unveiled: What to know about the E-Ray

The 2024 E-Ray is the first hybrid and all-wheel drive Corvette.Seventy years and eight generations later, the fabled, mesomorphic Corvette will join the world of electrification with the "E-Ray," a hybrid sports car that bolts from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, making it the quickest production Corvette in history.

The advanced electrified propulsion and eAWD system -- another first for Corvette -- deliver intense straight-line performance: the E-Ray posts a quarter-mile sprint of 10.5 seconds. "We're Corvette and we don't believe in making smaller engines," Bulkley said. "What makes this car special is that throaty, muscular, LT2 small block engine that's roaring behind you."

Chevrolet introduced the 670 hp Z06 Corvette in October. A brand spokesperson said production cannot keep up with the record number of orders for the savage, track-focused sports car. Last year 34,510 Corvettes"These things are flying off the shelf and going above MSRP," Ivan Drury, senior manager of insights at Edmunds, told ABC News. "Chevrolet knows the demand is there.

"We know the future is ultimately electric and the E-Ray is a reasonable way to introduce Corvette to electrification," said Kim. "The bulk of the power still goes to the rear wheels but all-wheel drive adds more stability to the front. Increased acceleration and superior handling cement the idea that electrification is good for performance."

"So you can just put the E-Ray in shuffle mode to back up, move the car around. Or if you're going through a garage, it just gives you a nice way to use the electric systems," Bulkley said.

Now with documents!!!

I have a prediction that a lot of electric cars are going to be sitting because nobody wants them.
