Chevrolet(NEW YORK) Seventy years and eight generations later, the fabled, mesomorphic Corvette will join the world of electrification with the "E-Ray," a hybrid sports car that bolts from 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds, making it the quickest production Corvette in history. Chevrolet unveiled the new model on Tuesday, 70 years to the day when the Corvette made its world debut on Jan. 17, 1953, at the Waldorf Astoria in midtown Manhattan, New York. The $104,295 E-Ray, available as a coupe or hardtop convertible, goes into production later this year at the Bowling Green Assembly facility in Kentucky. The car's naturally aspirated 6.2L LT2 small block V8 engine is paired with an electric motor that produces a combined 655 horsepower and 595 lb-ft of torque. A 1.9 kWh battery pack is located between the seats. The advanced electrified propulsion and eAWD system another first for Corvette deliver intense straight-line performance: the E-Ray posts a quarter-mile sprint of 10.5
