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 the traditional 6.2-liter V8 powering the back.
Tadge Juechter, the Corvette's executive chief engineer, said people would ask for the best version of the car, only to wind up a"track monster" that they're trying to drive every day."For the same money you can get all-wheel-drive, and comfort, security, and the livability that comes with a car like this," he said."We've really divided the family into pure track and to everyday utility.
"This is going to propel the Corvette to a new set of markets," said Mark Wakefield, global co-leader of automotive for the consulting firm AlixPartners. Engineers say its technology sets the stage for the all-electric Corvette. When the latest generation of 'Vette came out four years ago with the engine in the middle, engineers designed it so there could be hybrid and electric versions in the future.
