not a chance (ref: S650 AWD)
an in-line electric motor and 48V token electrification, yeah possibly. 2025+ ETA

Glad to see GM doing stuff like this. This opens up Ford to push for a fully electric GT and trickle down tech to other cars.

The E-Ray (hybrid) is pretty much an open secret. prototypes were spotted for a long time now. It was in the leaked engine list from 2020. Even when the C8 was shipped people found the space for the batteries in the center tunnel.

I think people misunderstand the fully electric part. It's most likely not an EV-C8. I'm pretty sure it will be a standalone model, so it can really embrace being an EV sportscars form the ground up.

I am really exited for this. I most likely won't buy an EV-Corvette at the moment (and prefer saving a C8 for the long term future), but besides the nextgen Cayman it's pretty much the only announced fully electric sportscar. I am no enemy of EVs, but it's becoming quite boring that every EV is this way too heavy big SUV/Crossover that has tons of tech and can go straigth lines fast, but is just horrible to take any corner or actually be sporty.

Here we go 4,000 lb all aluminum Corvette.

Progress?
