Although electrification has produced some of the quickest 0 to 60 mph times in the automotive world, many gearheads still miss the soul-stirring roar of combustion engines. With the 2025 Corvette E-Ray, you can have both: the hybrid supercar is every bit a V8-powered Corvette, but it also provides tremendous electric torque for scorching acceleration.
Electrified Thrills: The 2025 Corvette E-Ray
Powerful Hybrid Setup
Similar to its C8 siblings, the Corvette E-Ray’s primary power source is a fire-breathing small-block engine. The naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 produces 495 hp and 470 lb-ft of torque and comes with eight 210-mm intake runners and a dry-sump oil scavenge system. While the engine drives the rear wheels, an electric motor, generating 160 hp and 125 lb-ft of torque, powers the front axle. The hybrid system’s net output is a monstrous 655 hp and 595 lb-ft of torque.
The Corvette E-Ray’s hybrid system is extremely effective on the track, propelling the supercar from 0 to 60 mph in a frantic 2.5 seconds and across the quarter-mile mark in 10.5 seconds. You can monitor the vehicle’s performance using the E-Ray Performance App, which displays metrics such as current torque levels and engine power vs. electric power.
High-Performance Transmission
An eight-speed dual-clutch transmission adds to the adrenaline rush induced by the supercar’s acceleration, providing engaging white-knuckle shifts while maintaining the efficiency of an automatic. It also features an intelligent system that adapts to your driving style, enabling the transmission to provide perfectly timed downshifts and gear holds.
Silent All-Electric Mode
Stealth Mode allows the hybrid supercar to drive on electric power alone until the 1.9 kWh lithium-ion battery bottoms out. The Corvette E-Ray is capable of reaching speeds of 45 mph and covering up to four miles without any assistance from the engine, allowing drivers to pass through urban neighborhoods in complete silence.
Outstanding Maneuverability
Dream-like handling is a hallmark of the C8 Corvette and is made possible by a combination of systems and smart engineering. Some of the Corvette E-Ray’s maneuverability comes from its near-perfect weight distribution, which is achieved by a mid-engine layout that Chevy engineers perfected over the years. Additionally, the vehicle’s electric all-wheel drive (eAWD) system provides excellent traction across all road and track conditions, allowing drivers to clear corners with confidence.
The standard performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control further improves maneuverability by providing adaptive damping. The system also contains a magnetorheological fluid with metal particles that align to become rigid when needed. This improves the suspension’s lateral stiffness, reducing body roll when cornering aggressively.
