Corvette is quite ambitious with their upcoming future plan, and the C8 (including the 2024 Corvette E-Ray) is one of them. It’s considered the most popular and most ambitious because even the unique Stingray has pushed the production with the V8 small block unit and dual clutch transmission and they have the mid engine layout. Before going forward with the 2024 Corvette E-Ray model, the 2023 premium sports ride would get all the important upgrades in FPC V8, wider tires, and also wider body.

The Spied Prototype
The 2024 Corvette E-Ray has its own launching schedule; most likely taking place after the Z06. The Z06 prototype was spotted at GM Test Center in Nurburgring. The prototype is considered pretty close to production, considering that it comes with 2 R Pilot Sport Cup tires (with 345/25 and 21 inches out back). On the picture, you could see the E-Ray mule and it seems to have many similarities. The size of the (front mounted) tires is similar, with 275/30 (by 20 inches) despite the fact that the hybrid ride comes with different wheel design and also Michelin Sport 4S Pilot tires with road oriented purpose.
Corvette E-Ray Design and Style
The upcoming 2024 Corvette E-Ray would be constructed with wide body design. The front end would have almost similar style with Corvette Z06. The vehicle would also be coming with exhaust layout with quad pipe model that is inspired by Stingray’s design. It’s completely different from the Z06’s center mounted pipes. When it comes to engine design, E-Ray is definitely different. The rear deck (with its clean look model) hides the direct injected unit of 6.2 of Stingray.
Powertrain and Performance
Rumor has it that the 2024 Corvette E-Ray would have 600 hp (650 hp would be the max) because of the (electrified) front axle. But sources say the e-booster would be responsible for such power. The so-called e-booster system is basically the electrified front axle. When it is combined together with the small block LT2 V8 (of the Stingray), E-Ray is said to generate 700 hp. It would be 30 hp higher than Corvette Z06.
It remains unclear whether we are going to get either one or even two electric motors. However, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray would be coming as the all wheel driving system that can beat the Z06 in terms of speed. The E-Ray is predicted to reach 60 mph faster than the Z06 although it’s heavier. When added with the front mounted electric power (for the extra torque), the car should be able to reach 60 mph in just around 2 seconds. Just for you know, the Z06 is able to do it in 2.6 seconds.
Price and Release Date
Corvette E-Ray was set to launch earlier, but then the company experiences crisis with the chip also they have issues with the production. The E-Ray is then set to launch as the 2024 model instead. The company hasn’t said anything about the details of the production; let alone about the next launching date and price. Once the information about 2024 Corvette E-Ray is available, you should hear it soon.
