Why not put the z06 motor in it? Same reason theres only making 160 horsepower electric when theres technology thats even in the the tesla plaid thats only 100,000 dollars for 250 per wheel and theres million dollar hyper cars that make 500 horsepower per wheel. And from what they said the rimac nervera can put 100 percent of its power to the rear wheels wich means those motors would be making 1000 horsepower each further proving my conspriacy theory on the car industry and surpressing power all companys workinh together to hold back
Yeah, that was a legit reveal she did. I know they designed the chassis from the ground up for electric add-ons, but you're really not sacrificing anything here. Incredible all the intentional space they made for further development.
There are reason the C8 is heavier and bigger than the C7. One is because the Corvette is a GT car first, the other was because this was originally going to be the GM halo car. Now that's not so clear but we know there well at least be ZR1 and perhaps a Zora 1000hp+ AWD on it's own chassis, hopefully much smaller, the C8 is obese.
The cutaway of the base model from 3 years ago showed that there was LOTS of unused space between the front wheels and lots of space in the center tunnel.
How many females buy Vettes? Not many. Get Austin from Speed Phenom, Mike Street Speed & EddyX for drives. But shes for hustle & wrenches so I give her a pass
i dont want her getting any new vettes. shes boring and does the same twin turbo kit on every single car and its boring and shes a trust fund kid so she can go straight to hell
Corvette couldn't ask for a better rep could they, full of joy and enthusiasm. Thanks for showing some of the cars UI (user interface) designs and animations, love seeing those! Glad your crew seems to be healing up!
Right?! Usually when I see that a Rep is going to be driving in a video I am sorely disappointed cuz it's like 1 or 2 low rev pulls and leaves you with automotive blue balls. Especially with "sneak peaks." Couldn't be farther from the truth here though! Badass dude, and I'm loving GM more and more everyday. They are like the boring old Grandpa that suddenly becomes super cool once they get you away from Mom and Dad.

For the first time of my life i will say that i like an HYBRID CAR. This CHEVY is beautiful and the performances are almost unbilievable . Nobody will follow you on a 0-60 mph . It is nice that you have tested this CORVETTE on a road closed. The GREY CORVETTE that wesaw in the big truck is wonderful. Hope to see you soon.
I love the new corvettes bodies. I want badly . I'm so glad they redesigned the vettes . I drove by a semi full of the corvettes as it was getting on the hi way in bowling Green. I was in amazement . My fiance and my son all said .Dad you need to get one . I was just staring .They both said paint it Grey and wowza they did it . Thank you Chevrolet and E. Bonus she a Hoosier as I am also .Top of us is Michigan and bottom Kentucky. Oh ya .thank you E for reppin. keep it up .
@@ajflament8012 I can't imagine an engine swap on a $140000 hybrid supercar being any more cost effective than just buying the other $140000 supercar.
Chevy is smart with this hybrid. They are hedging against the crazy World Economic Forum and clown world states like California that can regulate these cars out of existence overnight.
I think it is amazing that Corvette uses Emilia as their ambassador. What a great change from old white guys appealing to old white guys. This takes it to the new generation. Way to go Corvette and way to go Emilia. Women being empowered in real time.
The cool part about Acura NSX has a "Twin Motor Unit" on the front axel for lateral Torque Vectoring. This eRay just a single electric motor and differential for the front. Multi Electric Motor Torque Vectoring is a big step up.
Glad to see GM didn't totally abandon certain aspects of the Corvette that make it an American classic, added features that are the current cutting edge, and added electric to make it faster. Wish I could say the same thing about Dodge.
No way! These cars are getting ridiculous! You’re literally leading the wave of all the new C8’s! Chevrolet is very lucky to have such a great spokes person.
The more I think about the world of electrified cars, my hope is in Hybrid. It is really the best in both worlds of gas and electric power. Watching some content from Shmee150 playing with some Hybrid Ferraris, I'm happy to see GM make a hybrid 'vette. Thanks GM and Emelia for sharing.
I'm sure she could handle it, but I think I'd throw up. Better response than a PD blower V8, better peak power than...anything. And not sacrificing a wonderful V8 sound.
I love that they are bringing back a green color. I've been a fan of the 2014 Lime Rock Green. Still a little weary of an all wheel drive and hybrid vette. It sets the stage for the Zora so I guess it's ok.
This is exactly why Emilia is our Queen of all things automotive. Even Chevrolet/ Corvette knows that she is the truth. This is just another amazing insight we get because we follow this amazing woman!! I can't wait until she gets her hands on one of these. Fire content, always!!
Neat! I just can't help thinking a cold start in stealth mode, where the engine lights over and goes to full load and speed, can't be good for it! I always make sure MY cars are up to full operating temperature before I get on it. But I'm just a Mechanical Engineer! 😁
Exactly what I was thinking too. I wonder if they could make something like a grid heater for diesels but to warm up the engine without starting it. Also maybe a special oil pump to start the oil flow as it is driving so it is not a big shock to the engine.
@@tlalexander3 I spent 8 years as a Warranty Engineer in the Diesel Engine business. The most severe application was Hospital/Emergency Generators. Cold start, full throttle and full load in about 5 seconds. They didn't last very long...
The E-Ray seems to be the better gambit vs the Z06 with likely better reliability and higher tuning potential…very interested to see what the MSRP ends up being and how many Z06 trade ins 😂
That car look fun as hell and i cant stop imagining it with that procharger. Also you re gonna need a separate garage for all your c8s soon at that rate.
The beginning of the end for GMs most iconic car, vette and the camaro of course. But its going to be full electric one day soon enough and thats a sad sad day. Thing is slick though…they have been killing the engineering and performance from the factory, more so since the c7 Zr1
kudos to Emelia for representing us so awesomely and GM for recognizing her as the person we want as our representative. Hopefully, GM is listening and watching! This video is making me think seriously about adding an ERay. Wow!!!!
Hopefully the drivetrain is swappable with other C8s, could lead to some fun setups. That and we need the Z06 engine as a crate engine. I want that LT6
@@Dayandcounting I mean that's not a big deal to me tbh. The hellephant is 30k and to me this is just as special because of what it has to offer in terms of sound and being N/A. I'd shove this into my M3 in a heartbeat
@@TheRacingJoker Not the same anyone can build a hemi that would outperform that for fraction of the cost. You can't just turn a LT2 into LT6 and suspect modding is going to be limited. That true of most exotic builds that go well over 100% volumetric efficiency. They aren't leaving much on the table. What they do leave is for durability and reality. GM builds them to last like a GM. Ferrari can get away with 80k between rebuilds GM's need to 250k to break even in public opinion.
@@Dayandcounting I mean I could always just buy one from a wrecked Z06. I just want the stock 670 horsepower and driveability, I'll settle for 600 if I have to lol. I like Emelia's plans and her willingness to experiment but this engine should be N/A and unmodified even in swaps. But like I said, I just want it to be available and the cost doesn't deter me. I've been wanting an engine like the LT6 for a while now but I've never been a fan of the other flatplane street engines out there until now. To me it's looking to be a better choice than the McLaren M840T, the GT350 Voodoo and the 458 engine (not sure what it's designation is I've never really cared). If I could get the LT6 that would be great because like you said, in it's stock purest form it should just work, which is what I want.
I just recently found your channel and binge watched videos from last year to now and I’m hooked! Looks like I’m gonna have to go wayyyyy back and start from the beginning! Can’t wait to see what you got for us this year I feel like it’s gonna be good! Hopefully I’ll get to be lucky enough to see you driving around here in Cali.
Great video, I love the stealth blend into the engine 👌.... Definitely a great model to use too, who knows what the future holds with the hybrid drivetrain in more models 🤙 stay safe and keep wrenching
Thank You So Very Much Emelia, E-Crew, Chevrolet and the Corvette Team for allowing us this Incredible sneak peek at the future of what the Corvette is to become!! Wow!! :-)
Fun fact. Henry Fords wife's car was a eletric model A or a T I forget. To much time with my bong, lol.... so yea, the whole ev thing is way old tech. 😎
Wow such a beauty! That blue glittering is mesmerizing. Oh…the E-Ray is also nice looking. 😊❤ I was just talking to my son about this new Eray and I mentioned to him it won’t be long before you have a video out and here it is. I never get tired of seeing your videos.
You picked everybody else in the line! This is the first demo of the new corvette. Thank you very much. Great video! It is very cool that someone in college College
Great video and wonderful to see this is what is being produced. Oh Chevy, I have always had faith and held strong. Emelia, what are you shooting your hand held with? Thanks and keep up the high revving work! ❤
Anyone who still doubts Emelia is BIG TIME and at the top of the food chain in the car world. This is proof, another epic first for her to add to her list...Impressive !👏👍
Okay so when I first heard about this coming out I wasn't real thrilled my feelings were very mixed well all that is now gone I've never been a real big fan of the electric hybrid cars but that is really freaking cool!!
Definitely cool how Chevy kept the v8 but made the corvette electric. Wish dodge did this, would be sick to have a hellcat charger with electric awd and a supercharged v8!
What I love about your content is Justin that. Its just your content. You dont usually try to do a crazy sexy thumbnail. You usually keep it modest-ish and let your content speak.
I'm thinking of all of the places that I could go near my home, using only electric. But if I want range for longer trips, I have it. Best of both worlds.
Sounds corny but I am so proud of where you are I remember watching you work on my favorite bucket in the apartment parking garage...... nothing like a good old LS swap in a 240
I have been driving and owning Corvettes for 53 years at present. I still own 4 today all Coupes. C2 ‘67,C3 ‘73,C5 ‘99 and C6 2006. I quit buying them after the C6 generation I feel to be one of the last best looking Corvettes Chevrolet ever produced. I have had no interest in the C7 or C8 Generation Corvettes. That said my feelings about them let the younger crowd who like them buy them. Not for me. I have no complaints. How many get to do it for as long as I have anyway? No regrets at all. Happy with what I have.
This thing is quicker than a Z06, has better fuel economy and is $2,600.00 cheaper. Makes you wonder what GM was thinking sales wise pitting two of their models so closely against each other.
It's the ultimate car! The ultimate! The greatest! The absolute greatest! But wait......I'm 6'4". I can't fit into it. All the engineers must have been 5'9". Yeah, right. They show this little tiny girl driving with the seat all the way up. Yeah, right. Life goes on.
It's Electric! You can't see it It's electric! You gotta feel it It's electric! Ooh, it's shakin' It's electric! Jiggle-a-mesa-cara She's a pumpin' like a matic She's a movin' like electric She sure got the boogie You gotta know it It's electric Boogie woogie, woogie!

Man if you like the zo6 but don't care for the flat plane sound, this is the way to go. From the zo6-like looks, to the sound of the engine, to the sound of the battery , this thing is amazing. Almost a shame this came out after the zo6 because this feels like it's stealing the zo6's shine.
The new Corvettes look great their prices are getting crazy up to 150k or more depending on version and their are allot of great fast choices at that price
You’re the luckiest woman on the planet! So cool to see that GM allowed you to put the first video/showing of this car out. Congratulations and Thank you!
I just watched black car gurus new video on the E Ray and said to myself, dang I can't wait for Ms Hartford to drive this thing. And the very next video was exactly that. Hell yeah.
When I hears there was gonna be an electric corvette, I thought it was gonna be all electric. I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s a gas/electric hybrid. The ZR1 and rumored “Zora” models are gonna be insane if they start combining the Z06 engine with forced induction and AWD electric torque fill. A true hypercar.

I've been wanting an engine like the LT6 for a while now but I've never been a fan of the other flatplane street engines out there until now. To me it's looking to be a better choice than the McLaren M840T, the GT350 Voodoo and the 458 engine (not sure what it's designation is I've never really cared). If I could get the LT6 that would be great because like you said, in it's stock purest form it should just work, which is what I want.
This is the mullet with lighting bolts on side hair cut of cars!
I just recently found your channel and binge watched videos from last year to now and I’m hooked! Looks like I’m gonna have to go wayyyyy back and start from the beginning! Can’t wait to see what you got for us this year I feel like it’s gonna be good! Hopefully I’ll get to be lucky enough to see you driving around here in Cali.
Emelia, the Corvette builders definately got the right person to test the best of all GM technology.
Great video, I love the stealth blend into the engine 👌.... Definitely a great model to use too, who knows what the future holds with the hybrid drivetrain in more models 🤙 stay safe and keep wrenching
WOW beautiful badass Corvette
Thank You So Very Much Emelia, E-Crew, Chevrolet and the Corvette Team for allowing us this Incredible sneak peek at the future of what the Corvette is to become!! Wow!! :-)
Fun fact. Henry Fords wife's car was a eletric model A or a T I forget. To much time with my bong, lol.... so yea, the whole ev thing is way old tech. 😎
Awesome video! Wouldn't be surprised if this new Corvette also goes up in value!
Wow such a beauty! That blue glittering is mesmerizing. Oh…the E-Ray is also nice looking. 😊❤ I was just talking to my son about this new Eray and I mentioned to him it won’t be long before you have a video out and here it is. I never get tired of seeing your videos.
They need to program Emelias laugh into that launch control. Revs.....launch....3 seconds of Emelias laugh
No thanks! 🙁
You picked everybody else in the line! This is the first demo of the new corvette. Thank you very much. Great video! It is very cool that someone in college College
Great video and wonderful to see this is what is being produced. Oh Chevy, I have always had faith and held strong.
Emelia, what are you shooting your hand held with?
Thanks and keep up the high revving work! ❤
What a great driver that guy was killing it behind the wheel!
Anyone who still doubts Emelia is BIG TIME and at the top of the food chain in the car world. This is proof, another epic first for her to add to her list...Impressive !👏👍
Chicks annoying, but unfortunately she is the only with Wray content.
Okay so when I first heard about this coming out I wasn't real thrilled my feelings were very mixed well all that is now gone I've never been a real big fan of the electric hybrid cars but that is really freaking cool!!
You go girl! You been killing it! Been here since you were working in your 240. Keep it up!
Definitely cool how Chevy kept the v8 but made the corvette electric. Wish dodge did this, would be sick to have a hellcat charger with electric awd and a supercharged v8!
Hope you two got a room after that ride. 🔥
ur weird bro
"24 E-Ray, even more awesome goodness! Well Done Team Corvette!
Emelia, your youthful enthusiam is infectious. Keep doing what you do kid.
What I love about your content is Justin that. Its just your content. You dont usually try to do a crazy sexy thumbnail. You usually keep it modest-ish and let your content speak.
I friggin love your energy Emilia! Love my C8, still want the Z06, but love that this exists!
I first have to say, it shows how you are seen as a person and channel to be the first to do a video like this! Love this car.
I totally felt that comment when you turned the car on and caught the dash the first time/take... 🤣🤣🤣
This was so cool to see, I work down the road from there and was stuck in traffic for filming that day. Totally worth it!
I'm thinking of all of the places that I could go near my home, using only electric. But if I want range for longer trips, I have it. Best of both worlds.
Hybrid electric assisted imaging that in a supercharged zr1. Be unbeatable. 700 plus hp plus hybrid would be an absolute weapon
My 2013 hybrid Yukon Denali, will go up to 15 mph in electric mode, it is nice
Im very impressed with the E-Ray. Never thought that a Corvette would become a AWD Hybrid. Love it.
Sounds corny but I am so proud of where you are I remember watching you work on my favorite bucket in the apartment parking garage...... nothing like a good old LS swap in a 240
I have been driving and owning Corvettes for 53 years at present. I still own 4 today all Coupes. C2 ‘67,C3 ‘73,C5 ‘99 and C6 2006. I quit buying them after the C6 generation I feel to be one of the last best looking Corvettes Chevrolet ever produced. I have had no interest in the C7 or C8 Generation Corvettes. That said my feelings about them let the younger crowd who like them buy them. Not for me. I have no complaints. How many get to do it for as long as I have anyway? No regrets at all. Happy with what I have.
This thing is quicker than a Z06, has better fuel economy and is $2,600.00 cheaper. Makes you wonder what GM was thinking sales wise pitting two of their models so closely against each other.
It's the ultimate car! The ultimate! The greatest! The absolute greatest! But wait......I'm 6'4". I can't fit into it. All the engineers must have been 5'9". Yeah, right. They show this little tiny girl driving with the seat all the way up. Yeah, right. Life goes on.
It's Electric!
You can't see it
It's electric!
You gotta feel it
It's electric!
Ooh, it's shakin'
It's electric!
Jiggle-a-mesa-cara
She's a pumpin' like a matic
She's a movin' like electric
She sure got the boogie
You gotta know it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie!
Now you can't hold it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie!
But you know it's there
Yeah here there everywhere
I've got to move
I'm going on a party ride
I've got to groove, groove, groove
And from this music I just can't hide
Are you comin' with me?
Come let me take you on a party ride
And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you
I'll teach you the electric slide
Some say it's mystic
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
You can't resist it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
You can't do without it
It's electric
Boogie woogie, woogie
Jiggle-a-mesa-cara she's a pumpin' like a matic
She's movin' like electric

Boogie woogie, woogie
But you know it's there
Yeah here there everywhere
I've got to move
Come let me take you on a party ride
And I'll teach you, teach you, teach you
I'll teach you the electric slide
I can’t believe this Corvette launched on the 70th anniversary of the Corvette.
I've been wanting to add hub motors to 1/2 ton pick up truck in the front for 4 wheel drive. This is close. Nice tone with the sunset, purdy.
Man if you like the zo6 but don't care for the flat plane sound, this is the way to go. From the zo6-like looks, to the sound of the engine, to the sound of the battery , this thing is amazing. Almost a shame this came out after the zo6 because this feels like it's stealing the zo6's shine.
The new Corvettes look great their prices are getting crazy up to 150k or more depending on version and their are allot of great fast choices at that price
You’re the luckiest woman on the planet! So cool to see that GM allowed you to put the first video/showing of this car out. Congratulations and Thank you!
Hooning around with Emelia in a new Vette, dude is living life. I love this thing, GM did a great job. I would rather have this over a Z06 any day.
Hell yeah,, Chevy giving Emilia first access. Our girl is the goat.
WOW!!! can't wait to see them cruising down I-75 in the snow!!! 🙂Great work GM!!!
I just watched black car gurus new video on the E Ray and said to myself, dang I can't wait for Ms Hartford to drive this thing. And the very next video was exactly that. Hell yeah.
When I hears there was gonna be an electric corvette, I thought it was gonna be all electric. I’m pleasantly surprised that it’s a gas/electric hybrid.
The ZR1 and rumored “Zora” models are gonna be insane if they start combining the Z06 engine with forced induction and AWD electric torque fill. A true hypercar.
Not that I wasn't already sold on this car but the Bat-Pod reference just put it over the top!! 🦇 🔥
Chevy sure is kicking fords ass recently lol
