General Motors is about to take a key step for its future in the medium and long term. The commercial launch of the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray It will mark a before and after since this model is part of a very special market segment. Supercars with a Yankee passport are not going through their best period and the proof is in the number of members that we can find for sale. What's more, even muscle cars are having a very bad time...
Therefore, with the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray they want to hit the table. And it is none other than the electrification of its range to show that they are not only investing in pure electrification. In addition to that they hit the "target" for reduce your CO2 emissions with "who knows" the same intention of taking it to other countries where this data is taken into account for its sale. So take note, because the new Corvette E-Ray comes with a bang.
The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray announces 481 kW (654 CV) of power and a step from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,5 seconds…
As we already announced at the time, the design of the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray changes little compared to what we already knew. The main change comes from the hand of a grill that integrates horizontal elements that give it a sportier touch. For its part, at the rear, there are new ventilation outlets in the bumper. It is also 9,14 centimeters wider than its range brothers and, in addition, it debuts three Riptide Blue, Seawolf Gray and Cacti shades.
The "Carbon Flash" logo will be standard and as an option customers can include a carbon kit. In addition, a pair of electric blue bands are also available for the E-Ray version. On the other hand, the exhaust outlets in black and the set of bright logos are optional. Finally, the alloy wheels have four different types of design to which must be added the possibility of including a style made of carbon fiber.
With everything, the novelty of the Corvette E-Ray is in its hybrid powertrain. The thermal block 6.2 liters V8 LT2 delivers 369 kW (502 CV) and 637 Nm of torque that sends the force to the rear axle. On the other hand, on the front axle, there is a electric motor generating 120 kW (163 hp) and 165 Nm of torque. As for the battery, it is lithium ion with 1,9 kWh of energy capacity that helps it circulate in electric mode when the stealth mode...
The E-Ray is the fastest Corvette ever...
On the whole the E-Ray reaches a maximum power of 481 kW (654 hp) that allow you to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 2,5 seconds. In fact, the brand ensures that it is the fastest Corvette in history and for this reason it mounts the suspension Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 or Brembo carbon ceramic brakes. As standard it mounts 20 and 21-inch Michelin Pilot Sport All Season tires and for summer Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
Security is also improved, with the inclusion of lane keep assist with lane departure warning, forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking. However, it will go on sale at some point this year 2023. And it will do so as a 2024 model for the 1LZ coupe and cabrio bodies. In any case, we have a question. Will General Motors dare to bring the Corvette E-Ray to Europe? Hopefully it will be like that…
