The all new Corvette E-Ray is designed as a very fast year round Corvette Grand Tourer, but that doesn't mean it's not quick. With 655 HP combined and all-wheel-drive, it's actually the quickest accelerating Corvette ever. It can be driven in all seasons and all conditions. But is that what people want? is it the best Corvett ever or just middle of the road?

perfect setup for a hybrid sports car. This is use on racing car prototypes but they use even a smaller batteries/energy storage that are good for like 10 seconds only. For that setup you have the option to engage the motor only when you want ar a push of a button usually on straight lines. That makes driving the car unique and challenging because you need to find the best strategy for the win . but with a bigger battery that is not necessary, it keeps things a bit easier

If they do end up adding the electric motor to the Z06 to make the ZR1, that will be the best of both worlds. The extra weight and complexity might not make it an ideal track car, but I think the E-Ray has a lot of real world advantages, like AWD for consistent launches and winter driving for those of us who live in the Northeast. It really makes electric assist pretty seamless, since you do not have to plug it in, which can be a big advantage if you don't have your own garage. Yes, I'm sure the electric assist will run out after a while, and the extra weight becomes a disadvantage, but how long can you really go flat out on a highway in the U.S. in a high performance sports car? Real world, it seems pretty impressive for its mission.

"You can even chirp the front tires" on acceleration. What are the rear tires doing? Chirping, or spinning? Less concern with pushing the front end sounds nice. Not being able to drift as easy probably won't bother most of us mortals. Sounds like they accomplished what I had hoped. I just don't know if I'm "financially" willing. The strike should give me more time to think about it. Yes, I've been on a list for awhile.

@Maattttheww 10 ай бұрын

It’s pretty normal for front tires to slip on acceleration on AWD vehicles. The weight transfers to the rear, front tires have less traction. Most cars have an open diff in the center. In this case no diff, so they can spin independently of the rear.

It is more all purpose because it has the electric motor assist that can make it quieter and provide smoother, more refined acceleration. Also it will probably get slightly better gas mileage, especially if used up and down mountain roads.

The big issue is price. The e-Ray costs approximately 50% more than the Sting Ray which is a pretty fast car to begin with. I question whether the e-Ray is 50% better. I also don’t doubt that, being AWD, it is better in poor weather conditions. But if few (if any) people take their $70,000 Vette out in bad weather, what makes anyone think they are going to take their $100,000 Vette out in bad weather??? Don’t get me wrong: I like the car. The hard part for me is figuring out a use case, especially given the cost.

They are boisterous. They probably were originally from New York or maybe Chicago. And they love to tell you about the time they raced the other car either from the light or on the interstate. They wouldn't even know what a track or autocross course looked like so if this one gets them to 85 or 100mph a little faster before they have to let off the throttle, then this is the one they want. You can usually spot these guys even if they aren't anywhere near their Corvette.

The added weigh is bad, but they tend to put that weight down low and in the center of the car so I am sure it doesn't feel as bad as the numbers might suggest. The electric motor does compliment the gas engine nicely, by filling in the low end torque, making it quieter and more refined when used in daily use, and improves the gas mileage. If done well, I too think a hybrid system can bring a lot to the table, even for sports cars.

You have to give Chevy full credit for creating these fantastic cars at a reasonable price point. Sadly, dealers and swappers have made them to expensive to make them a good bet, and then there is the problem that they just don't look great. I can buy a 3 year old AMG GT with 505 hp dual turbo V8 with low mileage. It will give the performance, luxury and prestige at a price that is lower than a used Corvette. Go figure.

Call me crazy, but I'd rather this be 100 or so lbs heavier with a bigger battery for a longer EV range. The whole reason to get a Hybrid sports car for me would be to commute/run errands in EV mode and then switch it to gas for spirited/longer drives. I need at least 10-15 miles of EV range for that.

It's pretty neat for sure, curious ho wmuch extra weight all that adds. But either way, I can't even find a base stingray for MSRP, and I've been looking. Everything gets snatched up and sold for over MSRP with 5-10k on it. So I kinda got no hope for the up-trim editions like this.

Hey Matt- This E-Ray isn’t anywhere near the wheelhouse of a Ferrari 296GTB ……C&D just recoreded a 9.7@150MPH(!) 1/4 mile, this thing barely traps 130MPH….. 🚌 bus lengths between the two
