The next model of the mid-engine Chevy Corvette is about to break cover. It will break new ground as well.

Chevrolet teased its Corvette E-Ray on Instagram Tuesday ahead of the car’s reveal on Jan. 17. That date marks the 70th anniversary to the day that the first Corvette was introduced to the world.
The Harley Earl-designed, 1953-model ‘Vette was the first mass-produced, fiberglass-bodied sports car in the U.S.

Clearly GM thinks the E-Ray is a game changer as well. It will be the first electrified Corvette as the iconic supercar moves toward an all-electric future.

“After 70 years, we’re introducing one like none. 01.17.23. #Corvette,” reads the Instagram post.
The teaser video shows a blue Corvette drifting on ice, signaling the E-Ray will be all-wheel-drive with an electric motor turning the front wheels and a big V-8 driving the rears.
The car lets out a fierce growl in the video, signaling its gas-hybrid power. "ONE LIKE NONE," scrolls at the end of the clip.

GM insiders have stated that electrifying the Corvette was one of the reasons that the eight-generation sports car was engineered with a mid-engine layout for the first time in its 70-year history.
With the engine amidships, the front is available to house an electric motor.
