Chevy claims the E-Ray can reach 60 miles per hour (96 kilometers per hour) in 2.5 seconds, making it the fastest production Vette ever. The sprint through the quarter mile reportedly takes 10.5 seconds at 130 mph (209 kph).
On the front axle, the E-Ray has an electric motor that produces 160 hp (120 kW) and 125 pound-feet (165 Newton-meters). A 1.9 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery powers the system. In Stealth Mode, the Corvette hybrid can go without the V8 running at up to 45 mph (72 kph).
