Automakers hate it when images and information about their new vehicles leak online, as it messes with their carefully choreographed launch schedules. But in the case of 2024 Corvette E-Ray Hybridonly Chevrolet is to blame

And it is that, the first hybrid Corvette, which is also the first variant of all wheel drive of the model, it was accidentally revealed in Chevy’s online configurator and where it showed the final look of the car, its color and wheel options. The error was detected by a member of MidEngineCorvetteForumwho was testing the C8 display when he made the discovery.

The brand has since pulled the E-Ray from the site, but not before Vette fans snapped screenshots revealing the model with a wider body and a longer style of rear air vents under the taillights that they are seen on the Z06, but two pairs of twin tailpipes like the regular C8.

The front bumper design also has more in common with the Z06 that with him C8 standard, but both the rear vents and front bumper have more color coding than the Z06’s elements. One detail that is not visible is a charging port, which suggests that the It was and could be a conventional hybrid instead of a PHEV. This would be a bit of an unusual choice, as other recent hybrid sports cars like the McLaren Arthur and the Ferrari 296 can be charged from a socket.

Small print text on some of the screenshots informs that the It was and it will be available by Q3 2023, and a summary of the car for settings from a forum user confirms that it will be a car model 2024. That means they’ll likely reveal the C8 Hybrid in early 2023, unless you decide to move the reveal forward now that the mystery is out.

“Looks like the holidays came early for some astute Corvette fans,” a Corvette representative said when asked by the Corvette Blogger website for a response to the leak. He added: “Stay tuned for more.”

It is expected that the It was and employs the same 490 hp (497 PS) 6.2-litre LT2 V8 as the regular C8, but augmented with a front-axle electric motor that will give the E-Ray all-wheel drive and a total power output approaching 600 hp (608 ).
