WHY CORVETTE IS LYING ABOUT THIS CAR

EV Channels Review

The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray marks a significant, albeit heavy, evolution for the iconic American sports car, introducing hybrid all-wheel-drive capability. While the E-Ray boasts impressive acceleration figures, achieving 0-60 mph in a manufacturer-claimed 2.5 seconds (though real-world tests hovered around 2.9 seconds, with the discrepancy attributed to American one-foot rollout measurement), its substantial weight of 1,907 kg is a noticeable drawback. Reviewer Matt Watson highlights the car's instant torque delivery and excellent traction thanks to the hybrid system, making it easy to drive quickly, even surpassing the Z06 on unfamiliar roads. However, he criticizes the choppy suspension in softer modes, the overly heavy steering in its lightest setting, and the intrusive "spacecraft noises" from the electrification, which overshadow the V8's sound. Practicality is also a concern, with reduced boot space compared to the standard Stingray and the awkward storage of the removable roof panel. Despite its technological prowess and all-weather capability, the E-Ray's high price point and weight lead to a final verdict of "avoid," with the recommendation to consider the standard Stingray for better value.
