To be fair, you can drive the E-Ray in all-electric mode if you don’t accelerate beyond 45 mph. It’ll come in handy if you want to leave home quietly in the morning without waking anybody up. On the other hand, the 6.2-liter LT2 V8 in the E-Ray/Stingray doesn’t exactly idle at insane decibel levels. It’s nowhere near as loud as the Z06’s 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V8.
Anyway, let’s talk about a specific 2024 Corvette E-Ray, a convertible variant fitted with the ZER package, boasting just 25 miles on the clock.
This car was up for grabs at auction up until recently, when its reserve wasn’t met, and the listing was pulled. The highest bid maxed out at $140,000, which happens to be less than what this cost to purchase initially, specifically $146,185. Yikes.
The spec is super nice though (yeah, that’s a technical term, super nice). We’re dealing with a Sea Wolf Gray Tricoat exterior, featuring the Carbon Flash hardtop, nacelles, and mirror caps. Then you have the carbon fiber 20” and 21” wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, the front-axle lift system, FED suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control and Performance Traction Management, plus carbon ceramic brakes with red calipers.
Speaking of red, the interior comes with Adrenaline Red Dipper leather on the heated and ventilated GT2 bucket seats, while the Stealth Package adds dark trim accents to the cockpit.
Other interior highlights include 14-speaker Bose Performance Series sound system, wireless device charging, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, a carbon fiber trim steering wheel (also heated), head-up display, and a bunch of active safety tech like the lane-keep assist, side blind-zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert.
As for that previously mentioned 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine, it works alongside an electric motor and a 1.9 kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The combined output is 655 horsepower and 595 lb-ft of torque, with power going to all four wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
In a straight line, the Corvette E-Ray can rocket to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds (0.1 sec quicker than the Z06), while covering a standing quarter mile in just 10.5 seconds.
