Corvette fans in Los Angeles who are eager to see the 2024 Corvette E-Ray in the metal can now catch the new hybrid sports car at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
The display is open to both members of the media and the general public, marking the first-ever public display of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray. The new sports car can be found in the lobby of the Petersen Automotive Museum, located at 6060 Wilshire Boulevard. The museum is open between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. every day. Fans will have to act quick though, as the 2024 Corvette E-Ray will only be on display through Friday, January 20th, 2023.
GM unveiled the new 2024 Corvette E-Ray earlier this week, pulling the sheets on the first-ever all-wheel-drive, hybrid-electric production sports car to wear the iconic Corvette nameplate. Just behind the cabin, the new E-Ray cradles the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, the same powerplant found in the C8 Corvette Stingray. However, in the E-Ray, the ICE is paired with a front-mounted electric motor that drives the front axle with 160 horsepower and 125 pound-feet of torque.
Combined with the 495 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque sent to the rear axle by the LT2 gasoline engine, peak output is rated at 655 horsepower, while all-wheel-drive traction sends to Corvette E-Ray to 60 mph in just 2.5 seconds. The run through the quarter mile is completed in 10.5 seconds at 130 mph. The hybrid system also provides E-Ray customers with Stealth mode, which enables silent all-electric driving at speeds up to 45 mph.
In terms of styling, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray features a widebody treatment similar to that of the new C8 Corvette Z06, with both aluminum alloy wheels and carbon fiber wheels on deck. Under the body, the E-Ray rides on the GM Y2 platform.
Sales for the 2024 Corvette E-Ray will kick off later this year. Production will take place exclusively at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

So the museum is the only place where the E-Ray can be seen now because the production will take almost a year, and real cars will take until 2024 to be seen on the streets.
In the Metal? Is this a one off? Isn’t Corvette still made in fiberglass? Somebody needs to research what they are writing about, lol.
It’s only going to be in LA at The Petersen until, Friday the 20th eh? Well, thanks for advanced notice, TODAY IS THE 20TH!!!
I realize that this new ERay is FAST but slow it down so that we Corvette enthusiast here in (finally!) sunny SoCal can get over to see it (sic) “in the metal” before it departs for the frozen tundra of Michigan never to be seen again in person until it is actually made at the Bowling Green Plant, sometime in future, or when ever everything good comes together for us all!
with a closed front trunk and such, how different will it look from a stingray?
i am deciding if i should go to peterson today. or just look in my garage at my stingray.
having seen the wider body of a Z06, i feel like i have seen the eray.
