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.
