The Corvette E-Ray's electric stealth mode will make it the first quiet Corvette.
), is possibly the biggest departure the Corvette has ever taken. Bigger than the switch to mid-engine architecture or even the flat-plane-crank V-8 in the new Z06.
The E-Ray will not only be the first hybrid Corvette, but also the first all-wheel-drive model. It'll be able to operate solely on electricity in its"stealth mode," which also makes it the first silent Corvette. Undoubtedly a good thing if you live in a neighborhood with a finicky HOA, or just don't want to wake up your family before an early morning drive.

If this sounds a bit like the formula for the last Acura NSX with a V-8 shoved in back, you're not wrong.
It'll be interesting to see a few things when the car debuts. First, the packaging. Will the powered front axle compromise the storage of the frunk? In many hybrid mid-engine cars, the frunk is eliminated.
