Fastest Corvette ever is all-wheel-drive gas-electric hybrid

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

DETROIT (AP) — The fastest Corvette ever made comes out later this year, and it’s not powered solely by a howling V8.

The E-Ray is a gas electric hybrid, the first all-wheel-drive version of Chevrolet’s storied sports car with the front wheels running on an electric motor the traditional 6.2-liter V8 powering the back.

Aimed at affluent buyers who want new technology in the top-line Chevrolet sports car, the $104,000 E-Ray jerks your head back as it goes from zero to 60 mph (97 kilometers per hour) in 2.5 seconds. General Motors says it can cover a quarter mile in 10.5 seconds.

Although those figures are slightly faster than its race track-ready brothers, the Z06 and Z07, it’s civil enough for the daily commute even though its rear tires are almost wide enough to compete in the Indianapolis 500.

1. Oh boy, am I tempted to cut my grandkid out of my trust and buy one. If I was

only 30 years younger!

2. It's really funny watching this develop on some of the Corvette forums.

They are vehemently against Hybrids or any EV and always have been. And now Chevrolet went and built one that is faster than all of theirs. It's hilarious.

That warms my heart somehow and I shall hit the sack with a smile.

6. With how production is going with the Z06
