The all new Corvette E-Ray is designed as a very fast year round Corvette Grand Tourer, but that doesn't mean it's not quick. With 655 HP combined and all-wheel-drive, it's actually the quickest accelerating Corvette ever. It can be driven in all seasons and all conditions. But is that what people want? is it the best Corvett ever or just middle of the road?

@betonblack3621 7 месяцев назад

That's far from a consumer product. It's not even exotic, super rich guys can't even get one new sometimes. I'd argue it's much easier for Koenigsegg as their cars won't be driven everyday, beaten up by millions in all types of conditions. 90% of CVK cars won't ever see 15k miles maybe ever. Chevy has to make 100s of thousands of cars that will be DRIVEN. That's a consumer product imo

@rotorblade9508 7 месяцев назад

perfect setup for a hybrid sports car. This is use on racing car prototypes but they use even a smaller batteries/energy storage that are good for like 10 seconds only. For that setup you have the option to engage the motor only when you want ar a push of a button usually on straight lines. That makes driving the car unique and challenging because you need to find the best strategy for the win . but with a bigger battery that is not necessary, it keeps things a bit easier

@DANA-lx8cv 7 месяцев назад

If they do end up adding the electric motor to the Z06 to make the ZR1, that will be the best of both worlds. The extra weight and complexity might not make it an ideal track car, but I think the E-Ray has a lot of real world advantages, like AWD for consistent launches and winter driving for those of us who live in the Northeast. It really makes electric assist pretty seamless, since you do not have to plug it in, which can be a big advantage if you don't have your own garage. Yes, I'm sure the electric assist will run out after a while, and the extra weight becomes a disadvantage, but how long can you really go flat out on a highway in the U.S. in a high performance sports car? Real world, it seems pretty impressive for its mission.

@aw11man26 7 месяцев назад

@kylem324 7 месяцев назад

I wonder how well optimized the regen will be in winter driving conditions. In very low traction winter conditions, relying on the front axle to charge the batteries could be challenging. Either excess drag could be unwanted, or difficult to keep the batteries fully charged. Cool car though.

@georgesherman4763 7 месяцев назад

Hey Matt, great video as always. At roughly 6:45 - 6:51 you seem to pull the paddle and there is a significant delay between pulling the paddle and the car shifting. Is this an audio mix thing or does the car take the .25 second delay to shift?

I would say the main interest with this car is for someone who is looking for something ‘new’ and ‘novel’. I’m definitely one of these people ‘interested’ in electric cars but not enough to buy a TSLA or deal with the charging issues. The z06 is definitely a love letter to ICE but it also has the worst cons with ICE (gas guzzler tax etc). Eray is a good choice as bottom line, it’s something new in this part of the market.

It is more all purpose because it has the electric motor assist that can make it quieter and provide smoother, more refined acceleration. Also it will probably get slightly better gas mileage, especially if used up and down mountain roads. It is more all weather than other Corvettes simply because it has all wheel drive, instead of RWD.

@jasongillis1336 7 месяцев назад

E-ray is awesome, but as far as if its the most complicated performance vehicle made, the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 is always going to be in the conversation. With an 8.0 Liter, quad turbo w16, with 64 valves, four camshafts, and ten radiators, its an engineering marvel (nightmare) as well.

@twoweeledsoto6072 7 месяцев назад

"You can even chirp the front tires" on acceleration. What are the rear tires doing? Chirping, or spinning? Less concern with pushing the front end sounds nice. Not being able to drift as easy probably won't bother most of us mortals. Sounds like they accomplished what I had hoped. I just don't know if I'm "financially" willing. The strike should give me more time to think about it. Yes, I've been on a list for awhile.

@TheSmokingTire 7 месяцев назад

The rear tires are gripping.

@Maattttheww 7 месяцев назад

It’s pretty normal for front tires to slip on acceleration on AWD vehicles. The weight transfers to the rear, front tires have less traction. Most cars have an open diff in the center. In this case no diff, so they can spin independently of the rear.

It's a Corvette. The same guys are going to buy it that buy all the other Corvettes. I see those Corvette guys regularly here in Southwest Florida. They are about 70 years old, give or take 5 years. They are boisterous. They probably were originally from New York or maybe Chicago. And they love to tell you about the time they raced the other car either from the light or on the interstate. They wouldn't even know what a track or autocross course looked like so if this one gets them to 85 or 100mph a little faster before they have to let off the throttle, then this is the one they want. You can usually spot these guys even if they aren't anywhere near their Corvette.

@ThesmokingTire: It’s the most complex consumer product on sale today. I’m not saying this, Tadge Juechter, a man who knows a thing or two about Corvettes as the Executive Chief Engineer of the whole car, is saying this. “If you get an E-Ray convertible,” he says, [with a mechanical power folding top, gas and electric powertrains, magnetic shocks, all wheel drive, and a dual clutch transmission], “it is the most complex consumer product ever sold.” I don’t have a way to directly refute this claim, but I can’t think of another car currently on sale that does come with all these things.

The big issue is price. The e-Ray costs approximately 50% more than the Sting Ray which is a pretty fast car to begin with. I question whether the e-Ray is 50% better. I also don’t doubt that, being AWD, it is better in poor weather conditions. But if few (if any) people take their $70,000 Vette out in bad weather, what makes anyone think they are going to take their $100,000 Vette out in bad weather??? Don’t get me wrong: I like the car. The hard part for me is figuring out a use case, especially given the cost.

The added weigh is bad, but they tend to put that weight down low and in the center of the car so I am sure it doesn't feel as bad as the numbers might suggest. The electric motor does compliment the gas engine nicely, by filling in the low end torque, making it quieter and more refined when used in daily use, and improves the gas mileage. If done well, I too think a hybrid system can bring a lot to the table, even for sports cars.
