The 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray isn't your grandfather's Corvette. In fact, he'd probably decry this car using the nameplate in the first place. That's because what initially looks like a Z06 model with a busier grille design is actually an all-wheel-drive hybrid. How about that?

The E-Ray won't necessarily stand out at the local country club, but underneath its wide body is a 160-hp front-mounted electric motor that pairs with a 495-hp small-block V-8 from the regular Stingray that together make 655 ponies—just 15 shy of the track-focused Z06.

That's just the tip of the E-Ray iceberg, so we've collected seven of our favorite facts about the revolutionary Vette.

1.The Front-Motor Vette Is Back!

You read that right. With its front-mounted electric motor, the E-Ray represents the return of the front-motor Vette—sort of. Putting it into all-electric Stealth mode also makes the E-Ray the first-ever front-wheel-drive Corvette, but silence breaks above 45 mph or following heavy throttle inputs. That's when the vociferous 6.2-liter V-8 that powers the rear wheels joins the party, making the first hybrid Corvette also the first with all-wheel drive.

2.Maxxed-Out Motoring

When we spoke to engineers who helped develop the hybrid Corvette, they told us the E-Ray has a top speed of around 180 mph. However, we were also told that the electric motor is geared out above the 150-mph mark. Still, good luck getting a more traditional hybrid such as the Toyota Prius to go that fast. GM also calls the E-Ray the quickest production Corvette ever built, hitting 60 mph in a claimed 2.5 seconds. If that turns out to be true, it would make it a tenth quicker than the Z06 we tested.
