Chevrolet has just revealed the 655bhp Corvette E-Ray 👀 Complete with a 6.2-litre V8 and front-mounted electric motor, it promises to be the fastest accelerating 'Vette yet
Chief engineer Tadge Juechter said:"Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and [the] E-Ray nails it. The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.”
The car's so-called eAWD system is said to be"constantly learning the road surface" and adjusting the deployment of power to all four wheels according to driver input and road conditions, with the electric motor contributing more power in slippery environments or"spirited driving" scenarios. Power for the electrified element of the powertrain is stored in a small 1.9kWh lithium ion battery, which is topped up via regenerative braking.
Chevrolet hasn't given an electric-only range but has said the E-Ray can be driven at up to 45mph with the engine off in its new Stealth Mode - one of six driving modes offered, each of which gives varying degrees of electrical assistance. The electric motor can also be used at a cruise to bolster the E-Ray's reserves when the engine is running on only four cylinders to save fuel.
