For its 70th Birthday, Chevrolet Gives the World an Electrified AWD Corvette

January 27, 2023 · 6 min read

First-ever eAWD Corvette E-Ray uses an advanced electrified propulsion system in addition to its 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8 enabling all-season performance and composure — and 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds

Exactly 70 years after the Corvette debuted at Motorama in New York City, Chevrolet has returned to introduce the first-ever electrified Corvette with all-wheel-drive and a powerful 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8, the 2024 E-Ray.

“In 1953, the enthusiastic reaction to the Chevrolet Corvette concept kicked off seven decades of passion, performance and American ingenuity,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors president. “E-Ray, as the first electrified, all-wheel-drive Corvette, takes it a step further and expands the promise of what Corvette can deliver.”

Developed to be the Corvette owners can arrive in anywhere, no matter the season, the new E-Ray — available in removeable roof coupe and hardtop convertible models — uses electrification to enhance the driving experience with intense straight-line performance, all-weather confidence and sure-footed grand touring capabilities that can only be achieved with eAWD.

E-Ray is also the only sports car pairing two separate propulsion systems to provide naturally aspirated V-8 power with electrified responsiveness powered by eAWD, making it one like none.

“Corvette has been a halo for Chevrolet since 1953,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “E-Ray’s unprecedented blend of confidence, luxury performance, sophistication and style provides a new reason for more people to experience Corvette.”

The E-Ray is the quickest production Corvette in history, clocking a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time before breezing through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds.

“Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and E-Ray nails it,” said Tadge Juechter, executive chief engineer, Corvette. “The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.”

A near immediate feeling of thrust from low-end torque is core to the Corvette driving experience, and the E-Ray packs plenty of it. Power comes from the 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8, putting 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque to the rear axle. It is complemented by an electric motor that channels an additional 160 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque through the front wheels via a 1.9 kWh battery pack, which is located between the seats. In total, E-Ray produces a combined 655 horsepower from both the electric motor and Small Block V-8.

Creating its own lane

E-Ray’s intelligent eAWD system is constantly learning the road surface, seamlessly adapting to meet traction conditions and driver needs. During spirited driving and in low traction environments, E-Ray’s eAWD system applies additional power to the front wheels, helping to enhance vehicle stability.

There is no need for plug-in charging for the E-Ray’s battery system. The battery is charged via regenerative energy from coasting and braking, as well as during normal driving.

Additional features and technologies of the all-new E-Ray include:

Stealth Mode, an electric drive mode for the street, up to 45 mph
New lightweight lithium-ion 12-volt battery that supports the LT2 V-8 engine’s stop/start functionality
Standard Brembo Carbon Ceramic brake system for optimal braking performance
Standard Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 with three distinct suspension settings
Staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires are available with an optional performance package
Low, wide stance with crafted body styling that is 3.6 inches wider overall than Stingray
Visceral sound experience that embodies the car’s dominating presence. The electric front motor works in harmony with the LT2 engine to create an invigorating sound
Enhanced roster of driver assistance technologies (shared with all 2024 Corvette models), including Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking.

Electrified propulsion details

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray’s electrified propulsion system provides exhilarating acceleration to power out of corners and effortlessly complete passing maneuvers. It can also provide limited all-electric propulsion at the driver’s discretion upon startup.

E-Ray’s standard Active Fuel Management system uses the electric motor to extend 4-cylinder operation in various driving scenarios.

The amount of electric assist is tailored within each of the Corvette E-Ray’s six driver-selectable modes: Tour, Sport, Track, Weather, My Mode and Z-Mode. Drivers can also select the Charge+ feature which maximizes the battery’s state of charge.

E-Ray Performance App on the infotainment system provides the driver with technical insights into how the propulsion system is operating. There are three primary display layouts:

Gauges (displays dynamic power output from electric motor and V-8 engine)
Dyno (provides graph of power/torque across selectable time intervals)
Data (showcases electrical system performance and efficiency).

The Corvette E-Ray’s electric motor over the front axle is compact, preserving space in the front storage compartment.

Stealth Mode and tracking the E-Ray

The Corvette E-Ray’s two driver-initiated electric modes enable the car to travel under electric propulsion in certain conditions. The electric motor also optimizes track performance.

Stealth Mode enables all-electric driving, when selected at start-up, for a period of time before the engine turns on for normal driving. It is designed for quietly exiting a neighborhood, with a maximum speed of 45 mph. The engine automatically engages if the vehicle’s speed exceeds the limit, additional torque is requested by the driver, or the E-Ray’s battery pack is depleted.

When it comes to leveraging the electrified propulsion system for enhanced track performance, E-Ray's eAWD control system applies torque to the front axle as needed. The Charge+ feature can be used to maximize battery state of charge for extended lapping.

The custom-designed Performance Traction Management (PTM) modes are optimized in concert with the eAWD propulsion system.

Distinguished design

E-Ray’s appearance builds on the refined athletic styling and performance-driven design Corvette customers know and love.

At a glance, the E-Ray shares its purposeful, wide-body proportions with the Z06, accommodating wide wheels that help manage the car’s greater torque delivery. The lightweight alloy wheels have a twisted five-spoke star design that is exclusive to E-Ray.

“There’s never been a Corvette like E-Ray and its sophisticated design reflects that,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “It starts with the body color trim which draws your full attention to the exotic proportions of the E-Ray. The interiors allow customers to reflect their individual personalities with their choice of color executions that provide a refined or dynamic sport look and feel.”

E-Ray design highlights include:

Four aluminum wheel finishes
Fourteen exterior color choices — including new for 2024 Riptide Blue, Seawolf Gray and Cacti
An E-Ray-exclusive body-length stripe package in Electric Blue
Standard carbon flash badging
Available black exhaust tips and bright badging
Available carbon fiber ground effects
Optional carbon fiber wheels in carbon flash, visible carbon fiber finish or visible carbon fiber with a red stripe

The E-Ray also introduces the all-new Artemis Dipped interior, which features complementary deep green tones on nearly every interior surface and will only be available on 2024 Corvettes. There are multiple options for customers to select when it comes to personalizing their E-Ray’s interior including two carbon fiber trim packages, three seat choices, seven interior colors, and more.

Additionally, there are new Charge+ and Stop/Start buttons on the console and updates to the infotainment system and instrument cluster aimed at providing a more integrated appearance.

Coming later this year

The 2024 Corvette E-Ray goes on sale in 2023, with an MSRP of $104,295 for the 1LZ coupe and $111,295for the 1LZ convertible model, with production to take place at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly facility in Kentucky, from U.S. and globally sourced parts. Go to chevrolet.com for more information.

The history of the Chevy Silverado, from the perspective of a 40-year GM veteran

TLDR The Chevrolet Silverado celebrates a legacy spanning more than 100 years of Chevy truck expertise, evolving from a premium trim level introduced in 1975 to its own model in 1999. Silverado sales remain strong, with Chevrolet selling more than 580,000 light- and heavy-duty trucks in 2025—its best sales performance in five years—and strong momentum continuing into 2026. The 2027 Chevrolet Silverado builds on that legacy with a focus on durability as one of the longest-lasting full-size trucks on the road. GM executive engineer Jeff Luke shares his personal connection to the Silverado, recalling the 1985 Chevy C/K Silverado he ordered with his father, who spent 40 years working at GM. The 1985 Silverado represented the top trim level of its era, offering premium features for the time, though it was far simpler than today's trucks. The 2027 Silverado showcases how far the nameplate has evolved, featuring more than 60 inches of digital displays, an available 11.5-inch passenger screen, and Super Cruise® hands-free driver assistance with trailering capability. While today's Silverado is packed with cutting-edge technology, the story highlights the enduring appeal and personal memories that have made the Silverado a favorite across generations. First introduced in 1975 as the top trim level of the Chevrolet C/K series pickup trucks, the Silverado earned its own model designation in 1999. Over the years, the Silverado has represented a proud nameplate built on more than 100 years of Chevy truck expertise. Last year, Chevrolet sold more than 580,000 light- and heavy-duty Silverados, its strongest sales performance in five years. That’s 67 Silverados every hour, or one every 54 seconds; we’re seeing that same great sales momentum in 2026. As excitement for the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado builds, the next-generation truck carries forward our legacy of making the longest-lasting full-size trucks on the road 1. Jeff Luke can attest to that longevity. Today, Jeff is Executive Chief Engineer – Global Transmissions, Drive Units and Racing Propulsion Programs at General Motors. When he started with GM in 1986, he was carrying on the Chevy truck legacy that ran through his family. His father John started working for GM in 1952 at the Oshawa, Canada plant and stayed until his retirement in 1992 after 40 years. From the historical archives: 1985 Chevrolet C10 Series Silverado Fleetside pickup While Jeff’s mom also worked at GM for a while (alongside some of his uncles and cousins), John and Jeff specialized in trucks across several generations. For Jeff, a particular 1985 Chevy C/K Silverado was a member of their family and played a big role in their history. “Dad and I ordered it together,” he says. “It was finished in two-tone cream and metallic brown, which was a rarer combination than the blue-on-blue or red and cream. We ordered this truck very specifically because it was the premium trim level at the time.” Positioned above Custom Deluxe, Scottsdale, and Cheyenne variants, the Silverado was at the top of the line, equipped with a 305-cubic-inch V8 engine and plenty of options. Even so, Jeff says, that was very basic compared to today’s vehicles. Standard features included an AM/FM radio and manual crank windows, while power windows were available. Passenger arms got more of a workout back then. 2027 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country while towing. Ultimately, Jeff ended up driving the truck most of the time, including when he was at school at General Motors Institute (now Kettering University) in Flint, Michigan. “Years ago, you could buy a new truck every six months and trade them in,” Jeff says. “At the time, trucks would appreciate in value, so if you traded them every six months you could stay ahead. I did that for several years and always got the Silverado trim level.” The Next-Generation 2027 Silverado is now available with more than 60 inches of total diagonal digital displays (including an all-new 11.5-inch diagonal passenger screen) and GM’s Super Cruise 2 driver assistance technology with segment exclusive trailering. Those features weren’t even a twinkle in the engineering team’s eye back when Jeff got his first Silverado, but look how far it has come. Still, Jeff misses that old 1985. “I wish I still had that Silverado,” he says with a grin. Want to learn more about the 2027 Chevrolet Silverado?

Chevrolet Stars & Steel collection: Meet the designer behind the special-edition vehicles celebrating America's 250th anniversary

For the 2026 model year, Chevrolet is offering the Stars & Steel Collection, a curated lineup of vehicles that celebrates American craftsmanship. The collection spans the Corvette, Colorado, Silverado 1500, Silverado HD, and Silverado EV — all of which are proudly assembled in the United States 2 — with unique design elements and select exclusive upgrades. Adam Barry, senior creative exterior designer for the General Motors Performance Studio, is the designer behind the collection. He sat down with GM News to explain the thoughts behind the design process and highlight the unique features these special editions include. What makes the Stars & Steel editions different? Chevrolet Colorado Stars & Steel Edition Each Stars & Steel model features curated exterior and interior color combinations and graphics inspired by the American flag. The challenge, Barry said, was finding the perfect balance, conveying American craftsmanship and performance without going overboard. "To visually communicate American technology, horsepower, and restraint, while not slathering on too much red, white, and blue,” is how Barry described his goal. Making this work across five very different vehicles was no small task. “This motif had to work on so many vehicles and so many different body panels,” he said. For example, the Silverado HD’s hood is wildly different from the Corvette’s; the Colorado's front fenders would never fit a Silverado EV. “That was a challenge,” Barry added. “It took a lot of time to find the balance, to figure out how to make them all fit together … and it took a design that was very bold and very simple to carry through all that.” The flag-inspired stripes and the 250th logo appear across the entire Stars & Steel model lineup. The stripes have a tone-on-tone look: on a black vehicle, the stripes are dark gray; on a white vehicle, a slightly darker hue is used. The colors, as Barry put it, "are just different values of each other." In addition to flag-themed graphics, Stars & Steel Chevrolets feature standard black wheels. The Corvette, Silverado EV, and Silverado 1500 get red brake calipers, the Colorado gets red tow hooks, and the Silverado HD boasts upgraded towing capability. Can you find the Easter eggs? 2026 Corvette Z06 Stars & Steel Special Edition in Arctic White. The GM design team hid a few surprises in the Stars & Steel design theme. Barry’s favorite is featured on the Corvette. A stylized American flag incorporates the phrase "1776 to 2026" in the bottom line, an element Barry described as "complicated to execute, but something that I knew was possible." He designed it to be somewhat hidden. Most owners might not spot it until they’re up close washing their car. The right designer for the job Barry may have been the perfect designer for the Stars & Steel project. He was born in Cherry Hill and raised in Marlton, New Jersey, both suburbs within a 13-mile radius of Philadelphia, where the Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4 th, 1776, the official founding of the United States of America. Thirteen miles, just like the original 13 colonies. That’s not the only coincidence. “As a kid, my school would take field trips to this historic section of Philly to see the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall and walk the cobblestone streets,” Barry said. Right outside Independence Hall is a statue of Commodore Barry, an American naval officer during the Revolutionary War, widely considered the father of the American Navy. Naturally, Adam Barry’s classmates couldn’t resist calling him “Commodore” after seeing the statue. Among the GM Design team, Barry played a strong role in the Stars & Steel special editions, though he's reluctant to take too much credit. He was quick to acknowledge the teamwork among designers, engineers, and marketing colleagues within GM. "It turned out to be a great opportunity that really affected the entire plan for Chevrolet for the year,” he added. Bold looks, plenty of options: Chevrolet Corvette 2026 Corvette ZR1X Stars & Steel Special Edition in Black The Stars & Steel Limited Edition is available on all Corvette models, from the entry-level Stingray to the ZR1X. Buyers can choose between Arctic White paint with Satin Silver stripes and a Santorini Blue interior, or a black exterior with Satin Black stripes and Adrenaline Red interior. Other Stars & Steel Corvette enhancements include special sill plates, an interior plaque showing the build sequence number, and available red accents on the brake calipers, seatbelts, and floor mats. Wheel options include Black Gloss, Carbon-Flash, or weight-saving Carbon Fiber. Black exhaust tips are included, too. Production of the Stars & Steel Edition Corvette is limited to 250 units. When asked if the Corvette is his favorite Stars & Steel model, Barry said, “yeah, of course,” without hesitation. It's the car that inspired the GM Design team to expand the Stars & Steel project across multiple Chevrolet models, and the one he worked on every day in the Corvette studio. Stars & Steel Corvettes include: Arctic White with a Santorini Blue interior or Black with an Adrenaline Red interior American Flag inspired full-length stripes in Satin Silver or Satin Black and “250” flag graphics on doors and spoiler ends (when properly equipped) Unique sill plates and interior plaque featuring build sequence number Black Gloss, Carbon-Flash, or available Carbon Fiber Wheels (depending on model) Red accents: Edge Red Calipers, Red Seat belts, Floor Mats with Red Stitching and Edge Red Engine Cover on select models Black exhaust tips & select accessories by model Huge capability with high style: Silverado EV 2026 Silverado EV Stars & Steel Special Edition in Black The Silverado EV Stars & Steel Special Edition is based on the Silverado EV RST, and is available in Summit White with Satin Silver graphics, or in Black with Satin Black graphics, and a Black / Sky Cool Gray interior.

From the Corvette to the Silverado HD, the Stars & Steel Collection celebrates America’s 250 th birthday. Far bigger than the vehicles themselves, though, is the mission behind this special edition. With every Stars & Steel vehicle sold, Chevrolet will donate $250 to nonprofits that support America’s veterans. The initiative launched in January 2026 at the Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona, where a Stars & Steel-inspired 2026 Corvette ZR1X — a one-of-one car — sold for $2.6 million. Every dollar went to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, a nonprofit that provides mortgage-free homes to families of fallen first responders and military service members, and builds smart homes for injured veterans and first responders.
