Chevrolet Corvette (2023). The sports car will go electric

In 2023, the Chevrolet Corvette will celebrate its 70^th birthday with electric candles. An electrified version of the famous American sports car has just been officially announced by the bow tie manufacturer. And the latter will not stop there sincehe also promises a “zero emission” Corvette in a second phase.

The first hybrid Corvette will be 4×4

Chevrolet does not specify whether the Corvette hybrid will be plug-in or not, nor does it give any details on its performance. On the other hand, the car is camouflaged on the snow for the time of a “teaser” video and this one reveals a major novelty: the car will be equipped with all-wheel drive.

After the mid-rear engine and the absence of a manual gearbox in the catalog, this C8 generation is definitely that of all the firsts. One can imagine one or two electric motors on the front axle while the V8 drives the rear wheels. Some hallway noises evoke a power greater than 1,000 hp, which remains to be taken with a grain of salt.

An electric Corvette at more than 300 km / h

The future 100% electric Chevrolet Corvette has not yet shown itself and the Detroit firm does not reveal any information other than confirmation of its development.

In 2020, when Joe Biden was still only a candidate for the presidency of the United States, this owner of a 1967 Corvette Sting Ray convertible revealed that he had heard from Chevrolet that such a variant was in preparation. He added thata maximum speed of 200 mph, or 322 km/h, was targeted. One of the upcoming electrified Chevrolet Corvettes is rumored to have the E-Ray suffix.
