The Chevrolet Corvette is an institution for the automobile sector and all his fans. It is more so in North America than in old Europe, but his name and fame precede him wherever he steps. Hence, although the supercar segment is in the doldrums, in your matrix do not be afraid to bet on it. And not only that, we recently learned that this name could become a brand with its own entity and range of models...
With everything, while that future takes, or not, an entity, we are going to talk about a turning point in its history. If you look back, you must remember that in its more than half a century of life the Corvette has never had a hybrid or similar version in its range. Well then, this year 2023 will be the first and will take the shape and name of the Chevrolet Corvette E-RAY anticipated in this teaser video. In addition, we also know when his official debut will be.
The new Chevrolet Corvette E-RAY Hybrid will officially debut on January 17…
To announce the longed for and expected Official debut of the Chevrolet Corvette E-RAY hybrid the house has published a video teaser where we can see it in action. The clip has been "released" on the official profile they have on the FaceBook social network and although it lasts a few seconds, they are more than enough to see some details of its design. And not only that, it comes accompanied by a message with a clear intention: to remind us that it is not just any model.
The published letter is brief but very clear...

And they will fulfill their promise because as we indicated before, in its 70 years of life the Corvette has never known a hybrid or electrified version. In addition, they end the message with the date on which its official debut will take place and this will be none other than next January 17. For now we do not know the time, but it will not take us long to know this information and all the others that are yet to see the light.
Regarding the design of the new Chevrolet Corvette E-RAY we can say that, a priori, it changes little. The most noticeable change is focused on painting some body panels that are black in normal versions. We can also see the E-RAY logo that announces the version we are facing on one of its sides. However, the most interesting data comes from inside because will have a stealth mode "Stealth" with which not to make noise.
Little is known about his technique, although there are already several details that seem "official". First: everything points to the fact that system It will not be a plug-in hybrid. Although it has the "Stealth" mode and can drive electric for some time and at low speed. Second: will have all wheel drive so it will be the first Corvette in history of this type. In the last place, there will be a braking regeneration system and carbon brakes.
