The line-up's latest Corvette adds a jolt of electric energy, marking the next generation in this iconic sports car's legacy. With over 70 years in the rear-view, the Corvette has been electrified for the very first time with the introduction of the 2024 E-Ray. Here's what we know so far: What to Expect Since it originally cruised onto the scene in 1953, the Corvette has improved with each model year - and quickly become one of America's most beloved sports cars. The 2024 Corvette E-Ray now includes an electrified e-AWD system that pairs with a 495-horsepower LT2 V8 engine to sprint from zero to 60 mph in an astonishing 2.5 seconds. All-season tires and Magnetic Selective Ride ControlTM optimize handling, so you can cruise with confidence year-round. Plus, Stealth Mode utilizes only electric power when you want to stay silent. The Power of The Corvette The e-AWD system is built to tackle any terrain, including slippery surfaces slick with ice, snow, mud, or rain. But that's not all! With technology borrowed from C8.R race cars and Le Mans prototypes, as well as carbon ceramic brakes, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray muscles ahead of the competition. You'll also enjoy rapid acceleration courtesy of the electric drive unit that sits atop the front axle. High-Powered Engine The 2024 Corvette E-Ray is expertly equipped with a L2 V8 engine that delivers 495 horsepower and 470 lb.ft. of torque. Combined with the 160-horsepower electric motor, it produces an overall 655 horsepower! That means it races ahead of the Corvette 06, making it the fastest Corvette ever! 8-Speed Transmission The E-Ray's eight-speed dual clutch transmission boasts the smooth shifting of an automatic vehicle with the expert control of a manual, ensuring an unmatched experience behind the wheel. Plus, a variable Drive Style Index senses your driver inputs and responds accordingly, intuitively timing gear holds and downshifts. Battery A 1.9 kWh lithium-ion battery powers the electric drive unit located over the front axle. The self-charging battery gains energy as you go, making sure your drive is defined by optimal efficiency and performance. In fact, these electrified improvements have shaved 0.5-second off this Corvette's zero-to-60 time! Exterior Beauty The E-Ray's body design is as sleek and stylish as Corvette drivers would expect. With 14 eye-catching exterior colors to choose from, you're sure to find a model that matches your unique style! New blue, cactus, and gray colors join the palette, with a blue body-length stripe and black trim also available. Newly Designed Wheels The 2024 Corvette E-Ray's wheels feature all-season tires, with a wider design to provide a more aggressive stance. Mated with carbon ceramic brakes, these freshly designed wheels ensure precise stops even at higher speeds. Interior Design With a cabin as stylishly appointed as its exterior, the Corvette E-Ray brings a new green-toned "Artemis Dipped" theme to life. This theme, exclusively available for 2024 models, can be customized with three different seat options, seven interior colors, and two carbon fiber trim packages.
