The electric-gas hybrid Chevrolet sports car, priced at $104,000, will go on sale at some point this year, GM said.
The fastest Corvette ever made comes out later this year, and it’s not powered solely by a howling V8.
The E-Ray is a gas-electric hybrid, the first all-wheel-drive version of Chevrolet’s storied sports car with the front wheels running on an electric motor and the traditional 6.2-liter V8 powering the back.
Aimed at affluent buyers who want new technology in the top-line Chevrolet sports car, the $104,000 E-Ray jerks your head back as it goes from zero to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. General Motors said the new Corvette can cover a quarter mile in 10.5 seconds.
GM also tailored the E-Ray for sports car enthusiasts for whom a Corvette just isn’t a Corvette without the distinctive purr of its old engines.
