As an automotive engineer, yep that's pretty much always is the case these days. Same case with hot hatches or any "suped up" variants. For example, Focus ST and RS variants were planned in from the start of the platform design. What may happen is killing the variant mid development, but creating a performance variant from scratch on an existing platform in such a short period of time is rarely, if ever, seen these days.

That's so awesome that they made it a hybrid but kept the v8 instead of swapping in 6 or 4 banger. Stoked for this thing!

The crazy thing is, this is the first ever production AWD Corvette and the Vette is 70 years old, all Chevy (and GM) did was to make the Corvette a year sports car now, and to think there are even more powerful versions still to come, hats off to the Corvette Team and I can't wait to see what else they have planned

Just wild how the Corvette has gone from the poor man's super car to something that is just absolutely desirable regardless of price.

Good point. Why did they design hybrids with a tiny crappy engine? They can put a big gasoline engine, and a big electric engine, and have the best of both worlds. It seems obvious when you see this Corvette. There's not any logical reason to put a 3 cylinder engine in an electric hybrid, when the electric motor and batteries literally doesn't take up any additional space in the vehicle.

The "Stealth Mode" is straight out of their GT3/Endurance division. The way it kicked in instantly reminded me of the Le Mans Hypercars that leave the pit lane quiet and then BOOM. Heavenly engine noise. Such a great integration of the system. Then again, I feel like GM's racing division probably will have some input on the EV Ray, and the ZR1 if it does follow this path.

sorry, but from an engineering standpoint, an electric motor is "better" than an ice engine. It has more power to weight, Is more effecient, and requires less maintenance. The issues arises from batteries. They don't hold as much energy density as petrol fuel. So in order to put down the kind of power an rc car does, you'd need a huge bank of batteries (weight) or have a tiny run time (fast discharge)...So weight negates the efficiency savings that an electric motor gives you.

YES, it's an amazing idea. I think it makes the most sense, as people have said in the comments. The main point I realized is that you don't need a new charging infrastructure, and you don't even have to pay for a charger in your garage, you could just use 120 volt extension cord, on a regular receptacle, and the gasoline engine could do the rest of the charging (that's the beauty of a hybrid). Something I want to point out, I LOVE the new Corvettes, but there is nothing better than the sound of the original NON flat-plane crankshaft 6.2L Chevy engine with push rods, and an underhead camshaft with a 2 valve cylinder head. Have you heard a 2006 Chevy Z06? OMG. For the sound alone, I wish they offered one of the original LS1 engines (or whatever the last code was that they used for the push rod engine).

The electric motor driven by supercapacitors charged by the motor which drives either a generator or the wheels depending on driving demands seems to be the best, but the E-Ray is just about its equal, the motor picks up the slack for the engine under acceleration and recovers energy from braking for the next takeoff, the engine cruises efficiently at highway speed for nearly a thousand miles, and if it used supercapacitors instead then it would be safer than a Tesla which is prone to exploding because of how unstable NCA chemistry is.

You guys have the coolest job! Also what a great car!

Northern Michigan guy here; I would 100% drive this thing all four seasons. I’m going to go check with my local dealer and see if I can get an allocation at MSRP.

Hats off to GM for putting out a more than reasonably priced hybrid sports car. Would be a nice step up from my i8. 😎 Wonder if you will be able to drive pure electric or if it will just be like the NSX. Edit: Welp, looks like you can, that's friggen dope.

It seems the Chevy Corvette team had a couple of tire to destroy for this event! Very good video guys👍

Yes!! Finally an Awd corvette!! We’re finally gonna be seeing these on the road all year round!!!

They nailed those wheels--wow. The Corvette finally looks like a legit Super Car!

The electric battery almost sounds like a supercharger

Agreed, I actually kinda like it for that reason!

I like the wing on this more than the z06 or base. It works with the flow of the design off the back. The body color paint on top is cool

@@Forever.Remain.Nameless Maybe just get a stingray without the package then buy the part and have then install it, assuming the rear is the same

Thanks very much Corey

Absolutely beautiful and now I NEED one

I would really miss the carbon flash accents of the other models. I HOPE The ZR1 model will have the carbon flash added back and even more aggressive styling and flat exhaust tips would look badass.

This makes more sense than going all EV. You get the best of both worlds..:)

The electric/ICE combo sound is amazing.

Makes me think the Zora is going to be mind blowing. I love the ERay

This is how you do a hybrid! Bravo GM bravo!

GM killing it with their Corvette!

You guys got the exclusive!!! Hell yeah!!!

Another awesome video guys. for my money I am still going with the base Stingray and my own mods.

I like it as it has awd without another differential as a point of wear

That’s the c8 I’d buy and have been waiting for them to make

That sound 😍😍😍 it's like the best of both worlds

Sickest sounds I've ever heard. Way to go Chevy!
