The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray sets America's sports car on a radical new course:
Despite the extra poundage, the E-Ray's all-wheel-drive traction and instant electric torque contribute to Chevy's claim that it's the quickest factory-built Vette ever. The company says the coupe will hit 60 mph in 2.5 seconds, which is just a tenth shy of the 2.6 ticks we clocked with the targa-topped Z06. The E-Ray also claims a quarter-mile time of 10.5 seconds, identical to our Z06 test.
Its tiny battery is also the reason the E-Ray isn't a plug-in hybrid. Chevy says it's designed to rapidly charge and discharge itself. The amount of electric assist varies among the six selectable drive modes, and there's also a hybrid-only function called Charge+ that can be activated to maximize the battery's state of charge, which is said to be especially useful while lapping longer racetracks.
It's worth noting that the electric motor doesn't work in reverse. It has an open diff and uses brake-based torque vectoring. It's also intended to optimize performance rather than efficiency, so while the hybrid should be the most frugal Corvette at the gas pump, don't expect Prius-level fuel economy when its EPA ratings eventually come out.In Stealth mode, the hybrid Corvette emits a futuristic hum for safety reasons and probably because it sounds cool.
