655 hp 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray rushes into elite sports car club, clocking 0-97kmph in 2.5s

​The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray has entered the elite sports car club, thanks to its design, performance, and technology. It is the first hybrid, AWD Corvette. The E-Ray is available in two variants: a coupe and a convertible. Both variants come standard with the same powertrain and features.

The E-Ray is powered by a combination of the 6.2-litre V8 engine and an electric motor on the front axle. It is also equipped with a 1.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers the electric motor. This gives the hybrid car a combined output of 655 horsepower and 678 Nm of peak torque.

Performance-wise, the Corvette E-Ray can achieve 97 kmph from a standstill in just 2.5 seconds and has its top speed limited to 289 kmph. The hybrid powertrain employed in this car gives it extra power for acceleration. It is also able to drive on electric power alone for about 6 km but since the battery is small, it recharged quickly.

Talking about the interiors, it is trimmed in luxury with leather, suede and carbon fibre and gets a head-up display, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, 14-speaker music system and more.


​

​The E-Ray has a starting price of $1,06,595 for the coupe and $1,18,595 for the convertible. The company has not started taking orders for the car yet but it is expected to go on sale in the United States later this year.
