But this latest Corvette isn’t made simply for performance. With standard all-season tires and Magnetic Selective Ride Control, it’s made for all-season touring too. Designed for year-round performance, E-Ray and its electrified AWD capability is always up for a challenge, whether it’s snow, rain, mud or ice. But this sophisticated supercar wasn’t created to take on Mother Nature alone. With technology inspired by the C8.R race car and Le Mans prototypes, plus standard carbon ceramic brakes, it’s made to take on the greatest cars in the world.
With 495 horsepower and 470 lb.‑ft. of torque, this 6.2L small block powerhouse is designed to thrill on every drive, on both road and track, and contributes to an overall 655 horsepower.¹ It features eight equal‑length intake runners of 210 mm to maximize torque and airflow. A dry‑sump oil scavenge system uses three pumps to ensure oil quality and flow to critical areas during high g‑force cornering and acceleration.
With the addition of an electric drive unit on the front axle, you can expect incredible acceleration as well as impressive horsepower and torque on both road and track. When you’re ready for even higher performance, you need the available ZER Performance Package. It comes standard with high-performance Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S ZP summer-only tires as well as chassis tuning and other performance enhancements. E-Ray features a host of functional design elements, adding wider fenders, quarter panels and fascias.
The result is a sleek, sculpted presence with a number of aerodynamic and performance benefits. Standard ground effects and spoiler contribute further to its aerodynamic prowess, while matching body-color accents provide a refined look. With a standard Head-Up Display, you can keep your eyes on the road ahead. Or track, because E-Ray can also be equipped with an available Performance Data Recorder that can help you become a better driver. And you’ll be entertained on your longer drives with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto compatibility, as well as an available 14-speaker Bose Performance Series system. ■
