Take a break with these pretty pictures<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Take a break with these pretty picturesEvery few Fridays, we like to bring you <\/em>moments of zen<\/em><\/a> in the form of some of our favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. Let\u2019s keep the fun going. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evolve or struggle. That\u2019s the choice carmakers are facing these days \u2014 electrification has moved far past compact commuters and into pickup trucks, SUVs, and supercars. Even the 72-year-old Chevy Corvette nameplate just got the battery treatment, in the form of the Corvette E-Ray. The E-Ray is the first hybrid Corvette ever, building off most of the same equipment as the current Corvette Stingray, the same mid-engined design, and same blistering performance. And instead of using hybridization to make the Corvette more efficient, Chevy<\/a> has simply employed batteries for more power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The same 495-hp V8 engine found in the normal Corvette drives the E-Ray\u2019s rear wheels, with a 160-hp electric motor sitting between and driving the front wheels. The result is an all-wheel drive setup with a combined 655 horsepower, almost as much as the mighty Corvette Z06<\/a>. By all accounts, handling, stopping power, and feel are on par with what you expect from a Corvette, and the added grunt and electric torque give the E-Ray a zero-to-60 time of 2.5 seconds, as good as any Corvette ever made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So the E-Ray has got the supercar-level performance you expect to find in top-trim Corvettes, but what about the electric bit? In \u201cStealth Mode,\u201d the E-Ray\u2019s relatively small 1.1-kWh battery allows it to go on electric power for short distances, but only up to 45 mph. Which is a nice trick for trips to the store, but otherwise, the EPA says the E-Ray gets the same 16 MPG as the gas-only Corvette Stingray around the city, and 1 MPG less<\/em> on the highway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior is mostly familiar C8 Corvette \u2014 squared-off steering wheel, screens and buttons angled towards the driver, decent front and rear trunk space. Combined with the overall performance, it\u2019s the same Corvette recipe of a multi-dimensional supercar at a reasonable price \u2014 except this one happens to be a hybrid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
