Our shooter caught a prototype test on and around the German N\u00fcrburgring. The new hybrid Corvette could be called the Corvette E-Ray, trademarks for which were discovered as far back as 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The prototype features a new wide-body design that will also be shared with the Corvette Z06 \u2013 but lacks the Z06\u2019s quad exhaust-pipe layout at the rear. The Z06 will debut this autumn as a 2023 model, and the hybrid Corvette will likely break cover sometime in 2022, also as a 2023 model. It is expected to serve as the replacement for the Corvette Grand Sport.<\/p><div class=\"autoestrada-nel-contenuto autoestrada-entity-placement\" id=\"autoestrada-1770744482\" style=\"position: relative;padding: 30px;border: 2px solid red;margin: 25px auto 35px;text-align: center;width: fit-content;\"><div class=\"autoestrada-adlabel\">Advertising<\/div><div id=\"autoestrada-2092707306\"><!-- START ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\nvar uri = 'https:\/\/impfr.tradedoubler.com\/imp?type(img)g(25401758)a(2263928)' + new String (Math.random()).substring (2, 11);\r\ndocument.write('<a href=\"https:\/\/clk.tradedoubler.com\/click?p=320153&a=2263928&g=25401758\" target=\"_BLANK\"><img src=\"'+uri+'\" border=0><\\\/a>');\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- END ADVERTISER: from tradedoubler.com -->\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn&#8217;t clear what powertrain the hybrid Corvette will run but rumours point to a single motor powering the front axle and the Stingray&#8217;s 6.2-litre V-8 powering the rear axle. Peak output is expected to fall between 600 and 650 hp, and we could even see plug-in capability, which would mean a small electric range will be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A more potent hybrid system with an electric motor also at the rear axle is expected to be reserved for a future Corvette Zora flagship. Yes, more electrification is coming to the Corvette lineup. There are even plans to launch a fully electric Corvette, a model whose existence has been mentioned by Corvette fan and U.S.-President Joe Biden on multiple occasions. Considering General Motors plans to have all its light vehicles powered by electricity by 2035, it&#8217;s possible the C9 Corvette will go the full-electric route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"39836\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-001-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-001-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-001-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-001-1-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"39840\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-006.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-006-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-006-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"39848\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-009.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39848\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-009.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-009-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-009-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" data-id=\"39844\" src=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-012-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39844\" srcset=\"https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-012-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-012-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/autoestrada.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Chevrolet-Corvette-E-Ray-012-1-560x373.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption>Spy shot of secretly tested future car<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AUTOMEDIA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hybrid version of the Chevrolet Corvette has been rumoured for years and now it looks like it is almost here.
