Life's all about the little details. Say, for example, that raised eyebrow or the little facial tic that tells you whether the person you're talking to is hanging on every word or thinking you're an imbecile. Or, in the case of a Chevrolet Corvette video, the little flick of dust from a spinning-up front wheel."What," you are crying,"a front-wheel-drive Vette?" Nah, life's not gone that crazy, yet.
So what is this new iteration, then? Well, nobody outside Detroit knows for sure, but the lack of any facts hasn't got in the way of rampant speculation before, and it sure as hell ain't going to now. Especially with a new manufacturer teaser vid stoking the rumour fire. What we're almost certainly looking at here is the hybridised version on the latest mid-engined C8.
Assuming that the Stingray's LT2 6.2-litre V8 is carried over, this should add to the 495hp and 470lb ft of shove it quotes - but by a yet undisclosed amount. However, it's unlikely that it'll shatter the glass ceiling of the, which we know to be a bulging automotive bicep with 670hp popping from its naturally aspirated flat-plane 5.5-litre LT6 V8. That, by the way, is enough to blitz the 0 to 60mph run in 2.6 seconds.
Instead of ultimate performance, the E-Ray is expected to add a bit of environmental credibility to the old-school Vette formula - as much as is left after moving to a mid-mounted layout. In Stingray guise, it still relies on the a cross-plane, off-beat firing order and good 'ol pushrods.
