A 655 hp powertrain
The Corvette E-Ray is fitted with the naturally aspirated V8 (LT2) of 6.2 liters of the Chevrolet Stingray with 495 hp and 637 Nm, which sends torque to the rear axle. On the front axle, however, there is an electric motor with 160 hp and 165 Nm, connected to a 1.9 kWh battery that is located in the two seats. The total system power is 655 hp.

Fast and snappy
Although attention to consumption is never a fundamental point of the Corvette (and of American sports cars in general), the E-Ray adapts to our times, so much so that it can travel in electric-only mode (renamed "Stealth Mode") up to 72 km / h. And if you push on the accelerator, the Corvette does not let itself pray. The brand declares a 0-100 km/h of 2.5 seconds that make the E-Ray the fastest Corvette in history.

A lot of technology
The technical sector of the Chevrolet is very complete and also includes the Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 suspensions with three modes and the Brembo braking system with carbon-ceramic discs. Available in 14 colors (including Riptide Blue, Seawolf Gray and Cacti, debuting in 2023), the Corvette can also be combined with the new Artemis Dipped interior with carbon moldings and green details. The driver can count on six driving modes: Tour, Sport, Track, Weather, My Mode and Z-Mode, to which are added the aforementioned Stealth and the Charge+function, which maximizes energy recovery.
