While the 2024 Corvette E-Ray may not be the replacement for the C8 Z06 on a proper road course, we could see the first hybrid Corvette doing pretty well on the autocross course where fast sprints, quick turns, and heavy braking all play into the E-Ray’s strengths.

It was 70 years ago today that thousands of Americans gathered at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City to catch a glimpse of Chevrolet’s new two-seater sports car. The EX-122 concept was such an instant hit with the public that GM rushed into production the revolutionary fiberglass-bodied car. Six months later, the first Corvette was completed at a makeshift assembly plant in Flint, Michigan. Just 300 Corvettes were produced in 1953 with a sticker price of about $3,500.
With today’s reveal of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, Chevrolet has officially launched the 2024 E-Ray visualizer. If you missed it the first time it was up, now is your chance to build your electrified dream machine.
