2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray Review: The Street 'Vette

Chevrolet has been following a formula for quite a while when it comes to the Corvette. Introduce a new generation Corvette along with the Z51 model for those that want a bit more performance. Then, a few years later the Z06 arrives for track enthusiasts, followed by the ZR1 ultra-Vette.

But with the C8, there's a new model, the E-Ray, and it's an all-wheel drive, hybrid.

Just bought this exact vette 2 weeks ago. Love it.

The Eray is priced very well. You factor in the Z06 gas tax($2.5k) the standard Brembo brakes on the Eray($8.5k option on Z06), and the base price of over $5k higher on the Z06, you’re saving $16k, with very comprable performance/looks.
The Z06 sounds sweet, however, the Eray has a sweet sound as well.
With the $16k savings, over the Z06, I’m purchasing the HTC, 3LZ interior, front nose lift, and other goodies.
Any C8 is a pleasure. Thank you Tadge.

Awesome. A Corvette in Ontario should be good for about six weeks of fun every summer, eh?

I’d get the Z06 just for the engine sound

I currently own a C7 Z06. It's awesome. I'm not even looking for a C8 yet, but if I had to I'm torn. I like the acceleration of the E-Ray (and around own drivability), but I love the sound of the flat plane crank Z06. I guess I'm glad I don't have to decide right now! Thanks for the video!

Put a twin turbo on the E-Ray and become a mid to 9 second street car! Several dealers on YouTube have videos on this. ETS has a LT2 C8 going 8.64 @170+....How much more does one need?

The black exhaust tips are shaped different than those chrome tips.

I agree . turn the stingray into the grand sport

Great review. As a longtime Vette owner, I wanted to get a C8, especially the Eray, but for me the interior is too tight (seats in hip and side bolsters, head room, and the seats do not go down far enough). Unless the C8 interior redesign (2026?) gives me more room, I'll keep my C7 2019 GS.

The eray won't last for long. Extremely low demand and it's a 1 trick pony. It's pretty much the same price as the Z06, but the value proposition doesn't exist over the Stingray.

So that means Eray is not as fun to drive compare to z06 or Lambo those type of super cars. Eray is just a faster Stringray with AWD capability. Zora will be much better.

are the side mirrors still different lengths? if so my OCD will not like this car
