Chevrolet has taken a bold leap into the future with the introduction of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray , the first-ever electrified and all-wheel-drive Corvette in the brand’s 70-year history. Combining a naturally aspirated V8 engine with electric propulsion, the E-Ray delivers a striking blend of raw performance, all-weather capability, and technological innovation. A Hybrid Powertrain Like No Other At the heart of the E-Ray lies the iconic 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine, producing 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque, mounted in the rear. Complementing it is a front-mounted electric motor delivering an additional 160 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. This hybrid setup provides a combined output of 655 horsepower , launching the E-Ray from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds —making it the quickest production Corvette ever. Unlike other hybrids aimed at fuel economy, the E-Ray is engineered for performance and traction . Its eAWD system ensures power delivery to all four wheels, improving a...

To beat a modern car do you need another modern car? Not even an idea: this 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is able to humiliate some of the most famous modern supercars . A breathtaking video shows the determination of what, apparently, is a car of another era. Obviously behind these performances there is the hand of a skilled work of elaboration. Under the bonnet we find a 6.2L LT1 , an extremely high-performance V8 . Even the exhausts have been replaced with a version designed for sports use. The video in question was recorded during the 2018 Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack. The Chevrolet was able to win every single race, and also with a fairly solid margin. The vehicle touched s peed peaks between 252 and 280 km / h . A result to say the least amazing for a classic 1967 car. The LT1 engine was boosted thanks to the use of two turbos, with the result that the vehicle went from the original 460 hp associated with the engine to a power of 900CV . The vehicle was subjected t...

While the world is waiting anxiously to know if the future Corvette C8 will really deliver 1,000 horsepower from its centrally placed engine, Hennessey has decided instead to carelessly improve the C7 , the latest version of the 'Vette with V8 engine front and rear wheel drive, pulling out as many horses as ever will have the C8. As we already know the ZR1 is impressive: 755 horses, almost a thousand Nm of torque, 0-100 in 2.8 seconds and so much downforce to make it effective even in the corners. Yet the American company found it weak, so he gave her an injection of power and malice. 800 horses? 900? 1,000? Nein, John Hennessey took the 6.2-liter V8 with volumetric compressor and brought it to 1,218 horsepower and 1,455 Nm of torque, all sent to the rear wheels. It seems only synonymous with big problems, yet the traction seems to be still a known concept since the performances speak of a 0-100 in 2.2 seconds, the quarter mile covered in 9.2 and a top speed of ...

Presented as the most powerful Corvette ever, the ZR1 keeps its label. The American supercar has tested itself on the Automotive Testing Papenburg , in Germany. It is a test circuit, four hours north of the Nurburgring , on which the car manufacturers test the maximum speeds. The track is a circular ring and to measure the official maximum speed it must be traveled in both directions. In favor of wind and with contrary wind. The maximum speed is calculated from their average. The ZR1 arrived at 214.88 mph in one of the tests, or 345.8 km / h. On the other occasion it was "stopped" at 210.20 miles, or 338.2 km / h. Its 755 HP are unleashed from the mighty 6.2-liter V8 , supported by an Eaton volumetric compressor. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes less than three seconds and the maximum speed declared before these tests was 337 km / h.  On the German circuit, the ZR1 was in standard trim, with the normal rear wing and not that of the ZTK perf...

But that's not all, because Corvette Blogger has recently discovered its acceleration data thanks to statements from the model Product Manager, Harlan Charles . Well, the time on 0-60 mph (0-96 km / h) is around 2.85 seconds. The shot from zero up to 100 mph (160 km / h) takes place in 6 seconds, while the quarter mile (0-400 m) is covered in 10.6 seconds with an output speed of 215 km / h. Compared to the previous 650 hp C6 Z06 there has been an improvement, but not an exploit. In fact, the latter can reach 60 mph in 2.95 seconds a...
