A spy photographer has spotted the upcoming 2023 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray driving in metro Detroit. The anticipated hybrid Corvette will likely slot between the Z51 and Z06, reinforcing the line’s history of offering shoppers a variety of drivetrains to suit their needs.
The C8 is a potent machine as it is, and the E-Ray will only carry the platform farther. The new model is expected to augment the Stingray’s existing 6.2L V8 with mild hybrid technology. More than simply reducing the C8’s already-thrifty fuel consumption, such a powertrain would augment low-end torque and smooth the power band, yielding a more direct and intuitive response underfoot.
Visually, this E-Ray is almost indistinguishable from the Z06 with Z07 package. The point to note, however, is that the exhaust tips have moved from their centre position on the Z06 to outboard locations that likely clear space for heavier tech to stay in the middle. Our spy shooter, who followed this E-Ray for a few miles, notes that it sounded “very different” from the raspy Z06.
