The 2026 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray introduces a new chapter for America’s iconic sports car. As the first production Corvette to combine a V8 engine with an electrified all-wheel-drive system, it delivers astonishing acceleration while adding confidence in a wider range of driving conditions. The result is a performance car that feels just as comfortable on everyday Clearwater roads as it does on a closed course.
Electrified Performance Without Compromise
Powering the 2026 Corvette E-Ray is a naturally aspirated 6.2L LT2 V8 working alongside a front-mounted electric drive unit. Together, they produce a combined 655 hp, sending power to all four wheels for exceptional traction and instant acceleration. The E-Ray can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in as little as 2.5 seconds and complete the quarter mile in approximately 10.5 seconds on a closed course. The electric motor fills in torque immediately, helping the Corvette launch with remarkable authority while enhancing stability during aggressive driving. Unlike previous Corvette models, the E-Ray pairs its supercar performance with standard all-season capability, giving drivers greater confidence during changing weather conditions.
Technology That Changes the Driving Experience
The hybrid system brings unique capabilities that set the E-Ray apart. Stealth Mode allows the Corvette to operate using electric power alone for approximately 3 to 4 miles at speeds up to 45 mph under ideal conditions, making it possible to leave home or arrive late without starting the V8. Shuttle Mode uses electric propulsion at very low speeds to maneuver the vehicle in controlled situations. Drivers can also tailor the Corvette’s personality using Tour, Sport, Track, Weather, MyMode, and Z Mode, adjusting steering feel, suspension response, power delivery, and other performance settings to match the road ahead.
A Cockpit Built Around the Driver
Inside, the E-Ray continues Chevrolet’s driver-focused approach. A 12.7-inch diagonal center touchscreen works alongside a 14-inch digital Driver Information Center and a 6.6-inch auxiliary display to place performance information within easy view. Google built-in, wireless Apple CarPlay®, wireless Android Auto™, and wireless phone charging help keep every drive connected. The available Enhanced Performance Data Recorder gives enthusiasts the ability to capture driving video, analyze performance data, and review laps directly through the infotainment system.
Choosing the Right E-Ray Trim
The Corvette E-Ray is available in three trims—1LZ, 2LZ, and 3LZ—with both Coupe and Convertible body styles. The 1LZ includes Magnetic Selective Ride Control™, a Head-Up Display, and Rear Camera Mirror as standard equipment. Moving to the 2LZ adds heated and ventilated GT2 seats, a 14-speaker Bose® Performance Series audio system, memory settings, and additional comfort features. The range-topping 3LZ surrounds occupants with GT2 or available Competition Sport seats trimmed in genuine Napa leather, premium interior materials, carbon-fiber accents, and expanded personalization options for buyers looking for the most luxurious Corvette experience.
