Rumors of a hybrid Chevrolet Corvette have been swirling around the Internet for years and the latest intel suggests it will finally be out for the 2023 model year. Reportedly carrying the E-Ray moniker<\/a>, the electrified C8 has been spotted in Germany while it was heading to the N\u00fcrburgring together with the hot Z06 version debuting later this month.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to figure out which is which is by looking at the placement of the quad exhaust tips as the E-Ray has them in the corners of the rear bumper whereas the Z06 has a center-mounted setup. Another method to identify the electrified model is by its license plate as the camouflaged prototype carrying the registration number ending in “992” is the E-Ray.<\/p>\n

It is believed the first-ever hybrid Corvette will replace the traditional Grand Sport trim for the 2023 model year. According to various reports, it’s going to carry a starting price of less than $100,000, and for your money\u2019s worth, the 6.2-liter V8 will work together with a pair of electric motors. The combustion engine is expected to drive the rear wheels while the e-motors will power the front axle, thus resulting in an AWD layout.<\/p>\n
