Wow, can't wait for this one.

This thing is gonna be a 0-60 monster.

It's going to be a monster period! The 0-100MPH and 1/4 mile should be very competitive.

Any rumors about its power?

I expect around 650 hp.

"Expectations

Following is what we expect from the Corvette C8 E-Ray:

A wide-body, high-performance hybrid model that will be positioned to indirectly replace the Grand Sport in the Corvette lineup. To that end, the introduction of the Corvette E-Ray means that a Corvette Grand Sport will not be part of the Corvette C8 model line.

An electrified powertrain, consisting of the atmospheric 6.2L V8 LT2 gasoline engine good for 490 horsepower that powers the 2020 Corvette Stingray mated to an electric drive unit located in the front cargo area plus four 1.94 kWh batteries located in the middle of the car.

Peak output of the hybrid system is expected to be around 85 kW (115 horsepower) and 111 pound-feet of torque, with some rumors pointing to the electric motor being able to spin to 16,000 RPM.

Total system power is expected to be in the vicinity of 600 horsepower, focused on improving performance rather than on efficiency.

A wide body and upgraded chassis compared to the C8 Stingray.

Wider wheel and tire combination than the Stingray, allowing the Corvette E-Ray to have a greater contact patch to the road, with 20-inch front wheels wrapped in 275/30R20 tires and 21-inch rear wheels wrapped in 345/25R21 rubber.

Michelin Sport Cup 2 R tires are expected to be offered, though it’s possible that this will not be the standard tire on the E-Ray. A set of carbon fiber wheels will also be offered as part of the optional Z07 package.

Larger, more capable brakes compared to the Stingray."



I'd say your number is a fair assessment.

You don't mind if I copy this into the C8 hybrid thread? It's important that's all.

I miss the C7, especially the Z06 and Grand Sport, what a raw and beatiful car…

In a testing session shared with a nearly half-million-dollar McLaren 765LT Spider, the Corvette Z06 set our all-time figure-eight lap record—scooting the 500 feet between two 200-foot skidpad circles quicker than any vehicle we've tested—only to see its fresh record broken by a fraction of a second by that same McLaren. At 2.8 seconds to 60 mph, the Corvette Z06 was quickest in this year's PVOTY field, while its 1.16 g lateral grip and 95-foot stop from 60 mph were second-best. The Chevy is no underdog—it's in benchmark territory for ultimate production car performance. That is but one big reason it is our 2023 Performance Vehicle of the Year.

Please note high flow catalysts and 19" wheels and tyres. But still very impressed.

Mate you need to watch this one! I don't want to spoil it but I'm very seriously impressed. It popped into my feeds I guess because I shared the other one. It's got engineering in it too and I always Love that!

Previously I don't believe I've come across them but I do know about the Fueltech C8.
