GM President Reveals Why The Corvette E-Ray Wasn't Fully Electric via insideevs.com

General Motors president Mark Reuss has revealed why an electric C8 Corvette was, for now, avoided. The mild-hybrid Corvette E-Ray was revealed last week and received a largely positive reception. When it was first teased, many thought the E-Ray would be all-electric.

However, instead the E-Ray pairs the regular C8's 495 hp V8 with a 160 hp electric motor - the result being 655 hp and a 2.5 second 0-60 mph time. The E-Ray can also blast down the quarter mile in just 10.4 seconds and has a top speed of around 180 mph. And although it's almost $40,000 more than a base C8, at $104,000 the E-Ray is still considerably less than any other mid-engined 600 hp+ supercar.
