Chevrolet Corvette hybrid variant confirmed for 2023; All-electric version to follow Chevrolet has confirmed that it will introduce an electrified powertrain on its Corvette sports car. The carmaker confirmed that the Corvette hybrid will be unveiled in 2023, while an all-electric version of the sports car will soon follow.
The upcoming Chevrolet Corvette hybrid will come with an all-wheel-drive setup. The hybrid sports car will feature a small battery pack and dual electric motors (one on each front wheel) which will be paired to the existing mid-mounted V8 engine. The electric setup will power the front wheels, while the V8 sends power to the rear axle.
The fully-electric version of the Corvette is expected to arrive at a slightly later stage. Chevrolet is yet to announce a timeline for the Corvette EV. While details are scarce, the all-electric sports car is expected to be underpinned by General Motor's Ultium platform. The upcoming electric sports car could also be called 'E-Ray', a name Chevrolet had trademarked back in 2015. Link to Team-BHP news |
