The C8 E-Ray has the distinction of becoming the 1st hybrid Corvette as properly as the 1st to function all-wheel drive. But just as importantly for Corvette fans, it is also the quickest Vette but from zero to 60 mph (97 kmh).
So says Chevrolet, which quotes two.five seconds, and now independent road test bible Car & Driver’s test group says the very same. The C&D guys just matched Chevy’s claim, that two.five-second time a tenth more rapidly than the crew clocked a Z06 at, and naturally produced achievable by the electrically-driven front axle pulling the C8 along although its pushrod V8 pushes from the rear.
That traction benefit also assists the 655 hp (664 PS) E-Ray shake off its circa 300 lbs (136 kg) weight disadvantage versus the higher-revving Z06, which tends to make only slightly much more energy (670 hp / 679 PS). But after the two are rolling, the Z06 hits its stride and beats the E-Ray hybrid’s standing quarter greatest of ten.six seconds at 128 mph (206 km/h) by .1 seconds and three mph (five km/h).

Let’s not take something away from the E-Ray, even though, it is unarguably the quickest Corvette to 60 mph the business has ever tested, and the all-wheel drive implies it could almost certainly take the Z06 in the quarter also, if the climate was negative. But the reality is that attaining these numbers is a slow approach since of the slightly laborious launch manage process that requires fiddling with the Performance Traction Management System.
In an impromptu street battle you may not have time to set issues up, so how quick is the E-Ray in a genuine-globe boot-it scenario without having launch manage? Still quite speedy, it turns out. The E-Ray clocked two.9 seconds to 60 mph with the method disengaged, which means you could roll up subsequent to a lot of other overall performance vehicles and nonetheless blow them away even if you didn’t have time to do significantly much more prior to the light turned green than sink your proper foot into the carpet.
