The Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray adds electricity to the power equation as the cutting-edge sports car further adapts to our changing times.
Like every Corvette made since 1955, the E-Ray is powered by a V-8 engine, but it also incorporates a front-mounted electric motor and a 1.9 kwh battery pack.
All of the hammer price will go toward DonorsChoose, a nonprofit organization that supports public-school teachers in America by allowing them to create classroom project requests.
“Every enthusiast dreams of owning such an iconic vehicle, and we’re delivering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to put the first electrified, all-wheel-drive version of ‘America’s Sports Car’ into their collection,” says Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson auction house.
Prospective bidders (or more properly, philanthropists) should note that the car crossing the block will be representative of the model, but not the actual vehicle that the successful bidder will receive once it is built.
This iteration of the model boasts the quickest zero-to-60 mph and quarter-mile times in Corvette history.
