Here’s A Corvette E-Ray That Debuts At £153,440

No one can ignore the all-new E-Ray. The roar of innovation meets the heritage of horsepower as the 2025 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray makes its UK debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. On 10 July 2025, amidst the rolling Sussex countryside and the iconic Hillclimb, enthusiasts will witness the UK unveiling of Chevrolet’s first-ever electrified, all-wheel-drive Corvette—a bold fusion of classic muscle and cutting-edge hybrid technology. Available to order now in right-hand drive, deliveries are set to start in September 2025, with prices from £153,440 and £159,230 for Coupe and Convertible respectively.

Presented by Tony Roma, Executive Chief Engineer for Global Corvette and Performance Cars, and Pere Brugal, President and Managing Director of GM Europe, the E-Ray’s arrival on UK soil marks a milestone moment for performance motoring in Britain.

Featuring the striking mid-engine design of the eighth-generation Corvette, the E-Ray incorporates functional enhancements that highlight both its performance capabilities and efficiency.

Developed to be the Corvette that owners can extract the most performance anywhere, no matter the season, the E-Ray – available in both removeable roof coupe and hardtop convertible models – uses electrification to enhance the driving experience with intense straight-line performance, all-weather confidence and sure-footed grand touring capabilities that can only be achieved with eAWD – perfect for the unpredictable British climate. E-Ray stands alone as the only sports car to unite a naturally aspirated V8 with an electrified all-wheel-drive system, delivering the thrill of classic power and the lightning-quick response of modern electric performance.

Unmatched Performance
One of the defining traits of the Corvette driving experience is the instant surge of power delivered by low-end torque – and the E-Ray delivers it in spades.

Power comes from the 6.2L LT2 Small Block V8, putting 482 horsepower (354 kW) and 452.1 lb-ft (613 Nm) of torque to the rear axle. It is complemented by an electric motor that channels an additional 161 horsepower (119 kW) and 121.7 lb-ft (165 Nm) of torque through the front wheels via a 1.9 kWh battery pack, which is located between the seats. In total, E-Ray produces a combined 643 horsepower (473 kW) from both the electric motor and Small Block V8.

E-Ray’s intelligent eAWD system constantly monitors the driving surface and adapts in real time to maximise grip and control. In dynamic driving scenarios or low-traction conditions, the system intuitively directs additional power to the front wheels, enhancing composure and stability.

And there’s no need to plug in – the E-Ray’s battery recharges automatically through regenerative braking, coasting and everyday driving, for a seamless and efficient hybrid experience. The 1.9kWh E-Ray battery system with integrated power electronics ensures maximum reaction speed, efficiency and performance and improves the vehicle’s sprint from 0 to 62mph by 0.5 seconds. This advanced powertrain propels the E-Ray from 0 to 62mph (100km/h) in a mere 2.9 seconds, making it the quickest production Corvette ever to grace UK roads.
