Corvette E Ray. Electric AWD v8 and mid 10s stock…

[ArabianOak]

This is a home run to me. Keeping the v8 but using electric to make the car awd and very fast.

0-60 in 2.5 with a mid 10 1/4 mile.

Hope they make this with the z06 motor next. I would imagine 9s if they did.

"Seventy years in the making." They were planning this back in 1953?

I'll give gm a pass since they didn't turn the Corvette Eray into a family suv like ford did with the mach e.

Haha. Chevy loves to pat itself on the back but we all know the truth. The new vette is a slower version of a mclaren mp412c. Lololol

Thank god for that

I'll give gm a pass IF they don't turn the Corvette Eray into a family suv like ford did with the mach e.

FIFY

I’d drive it. I’d probably prefer a Z06, but AWD would make it an all year car for those of us with the snow garbage part of the year.

I'd like to see Ford do this with the Mustang. I know there was a patent application floating around showing a Coyote with electric motors on either side driving the front wheels.

Why would you drive a C8 in the snow...

Because it’s AWD now. Who doesn’t want a fun car all year round?

Two words: Road salt

Also it's so low you'll be getting high centered in 3" of snow, plowing snow with the ground effects (and probably damaging them), getting snow inside the car....

Ain’t much on a vette that would rust from the salt. I would drive this car in light snow but nothing deep.

Yea, I’m not talking about taking this car through 3’ drifts. Just a winter toy.

This. Plus, if I had money for this as a winter car, I could buy a new one/upgrade when it starts rusting.

faster or slower the Z06 is what everyone is going to want in 15+ years when everything is an electric toaster.

Hard to get excited about a car like this when you find out…the waiting list is 3 years long with a 50K ADM and we will need 10K down right now for deposit,

I’m curious in how much heavier this will be compared to the other trim models. I will say I do like the wheels on the car, looks good. Probably my second choice after the base model Z06 wheels.

Ghey. These half-breed "hybrid" performance type vehicles don't do it for me.

If I ever buy anything electric, it will be a full EV exclusively used for work commute that I can charge at work for free effectively costing me nothing to use over the life of the vehicle other than initial purchase cost. That's all, nothing more. Probably won't even wash the turd.

 

[ArabianOak]

My nsx had a similar setup to this and was as good as it gets.

Vert is 4,096
Coupe is 3,890

At least most of the added weight is as low and centered as possible.

The Hybrid AWD 2024 Chevy Corvette E-Ray Weighs How Much?!



The reality is every model of car/truck/SUV will eventually need an EV or hybrid version to survive.

Like it or not, this car will sell like hotcakes. The C8 demographic got significantly younger vs. prior gens, who are more open to this configuration. Most enthusiasts care about straight line speed here in the U.S., and this will defintiely check that box.

Plaid smokes it...and is barely 10k more.
