The 2024 Corvette E-Ray introduces a fresh, all-wheels-driven, hybrid variant for the iconic sports car nameplate, offering impressive performance and grip, even in less-than-ideal conditions. Naturally, all that good stuff is represented by a striking exterior design, as we’ve seen on more than one occasion. Now, however, we’re taking a look at the 2024 Corvette E-Ray as it stands in the real world thanks to the following GM Authority photo gallery.
This 2024 Corvette E-Ray was spotted at the Amelia Island Concours event held earlier this year in Amelia Island, Florida. The new Vette was parked in a booth amongst an array of stunning antiques, classics, race cars, sports cars, and exotics, but still managed to draw attention from the crowd.
This particular example is covered in Silver Flare Metallic paint, which is complemented by a set of Electric Blue racing stripes. The exterior presents the same widebody treatment as the C8 Corvette Z06, with color-matched accents and carbon flash badging equipped as standard. The body length Electric Blue racing stripes are exclusive to the E-Ray.
The front end shows off aggressive lines and large front intakes, with the narrow, pointed headlights leading the eye rearwards towards the massively flared rear haunches. The rear intakes dominate the profile view, leading into the finely sculpted tail section. The rear is topped by a blade-like rear spoiler attached to the edge of the trunk.
In the corners, we spot a set of large five-spoke wheels finished in Carbon Flash with a machined edge. Wheel sizing is set at 20 inches in front and 21 inches in the rear. Under the rollers, massive carbon ceramic brakes are mounted to shed some speed.
Speaking of speed, the 2024 Corvette E-Ray features the naturally aspirated 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine, the same engine cradled by the C8 Stingray, as well as a single electric motor and 1.9 kWh battery, all of which yields a maximum output of 655 horsepower.
The GM Y2 platform provides the underpinnings, while production takes place at the GM Bowling Green plant in Kentucky.

Heresy !
Cant wait! I’ll hopefully get the opportunity soon to trade my C8 in for an E-Ray.
Good luck acquiring one
That rear meat!! 345/25ZR21….. my God!
Just keep in mind that 345 cm is equal to 12 inches and that’s the width at the rim and in all likelihood the tread is somewhat wider. Talk about TRACTION, particularly with the weight of the engine and transmision just above these tires!!
If the thread is too wide, the pressure per square inch on the pavement is lesser, so traction is actuall lesser. And on a wet road, this can allow more slip and a scarier ride!
Tread, not thread.
The E-Ray is likely a building block toward the ulltimate C8. That will be the Zora, with the Z06 engine, twin turbos from the coming ZR-1, and the E-Ray’s electric motor and AWD, all totaling 1000 HP and a 0-60 of just 2.2 seconds.
Let the price gouging begin!
It’s a hybrid. Not all electric.
Are those EXHAUST PIPES out the rear ? Didn’t realize EV cars needed them
This isn’t a full EV, so it needs them…
Im sorry but with the 4000 pound weight and the possibility of battery fires I will stick with the Z06. I still have 3 yrs wait time but lower weight is ALWAYS better.
If they did an AWD system like Subbies or BMW it would be awesome. We could drop a 2650 maggie or a Procharger on and get 700+ with less weight and the AWD goodness to boot!
