I have a deposit down on the new 2020 Mid Engine Corvette.
It looks like they are already road testing a Hybrid Gas Electric Model even though the standard Gas powered 2020 Model hasn’t even begun Production yet.
I’m sure an all electric Model is already on the Drawing Board.
It’s the wave of the future. Unfortunately, most of the Rare Earth Minerals needed to make the Batteries come from China.
So was/is straight electric railroading, but transmission/distribution/infrastructure still kicks its azz.

A looker for sure!
The engine under glass!
The Bedford castings!
GM put some serious effort into this one.
Can’t wait to see one out in the world.
Back in the early 2000’s I read an article on the Hybrid Humvee the Army was looking into as a scout vehicle. very quiet on electric drive, with 4 75 hp motors. I kept thinking if my C4 vette had 300hp at the wheels with mucho torque, this electric drive thing might be worth looking into. few years back I got to drive a friends tesla. I missed the 6 speed transmission, but it took off like a rocket, but just had a whisper of sound. if they come up with a reliable battery system that doesn’t take 4000 gallons of water to put out the battery fire that will surely happen one day, I might be interested.
It’s the wave of the future.
And then there’s the battery problem. There has to a breakthrough in battery technology that hasn’t happened yet. Two or three hours for a fill up isn’t going to go over well.
By the year 1970 people will have flying cars.
A hybrid Corvette?
That is just plain silly.
