The 2025 Corvette E-Ray is one of the most innovative and exciting high-performance sports cars on the road today. You can choose one of three E-Rays: the 1LZ, 2LZ, or 3LZ, all of which comes as either a coupe or hard-top convertible. Let's take a closer look at each trim. 1LZ Trim The base trim has access to the E-Ray's full performance. The formidable 6.2L V8 DI engine generates 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque with a standard performance exhaust, while an electric motor on the front wheel axle grants 160 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque. These two motors working together deliver 655 horsepower and staggering acceleration of 0 to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. Power delivery and gear shifts are silky smooth with an 8-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission. With both motors active, the 1LZ has Electrified All-Wheel Drive (eAWD), which makes for extremely stable and precise cornering. The standard all-season run-flat tires add to the E-Ray's road-hugging confidence. You have standard-performance Brembo brakes, lightning-quick Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and Stealth Mode, where the self-charging battery motor powers the car alone in near silence for short periods. The everyday practicality of the 1LZ E-Ray is enhanced with impressive cargo space, which includes a sizable, drainable front trunk. more 2LZ Trim The next trim adds to the base trim's already impressive range of driver support and safety tech. You now have HD front and rear vision cameras rather than front alone, plus side blind zone alert and rear cross-traffic alert. The 2LZ has a memory convenience package for all occupants; the passenger seats gain a powered back bolster and lumbar control, and all seats are now heated and ventilated. The steering wheel is also heated. On top of this, the 1LZ's Bose 10-speaker audio system is upgraded to a Bose Performance Series 14-speaker system. You have two cargo nets for more secure cargo storage. Wireless device charging and a universal home remote are also standard in the 2LZ trim. 3LZ Trim The top trim raises the E-Ray's cabin into even higher luxury. The upper dashboard, door panels, and console are all leather-wrapped, as is the carbon fiber steering wheel. Most of the cabin's trim is now wrapped in sueded microfiber. In the 3LZ, you enjoy the superb support and comfort of competition sport-style GT2 bucket seats with carbon fiber trim. All seating surfaces have Napa leather upholstery with perforated inserts for breathability and a very premium look. You also have the option of seating upholstery in Napa leather of a rich orange-red Habanero hue. Why not get into the driving seat of each E-Ray trim to see the difference firsthand?

The 2025 Corvette Stingray delivers supercar-tier performance without the million-dollar price tag. This American icon of speed features a fire-breathing V8, near-perfect weight distribution, and an aerodynamic design. Small-Block V8 In the Corvette Stingray's engine bay lies a monstrously powerful 6.2L V8, generating 490 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. It hails from Chevy's iconic small-block engine family, which is popular for V8s that produce large outputs relative to their size. The Stingray's engine also features a series of performance- and efficiency-enhancing systems, such as a dry-sump scavenge system and an intake manifold with eight 210-mm runners. more Dual-Clutch Transmission No ordinary manual transmission can handle the small-block V8's tremendous power, so Chevy engineers fitted the Stingray with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission. This state-of-the-art transmission system features two clutch plates instead of one so that odd and even gears can be engaged alternately for smooth, lightning-fast shifts. The dual-clutch transmission comes with a double-paddle declutch feature, which lets drivers swiftly disengage the clutch by pulling two steering-wheel-mounted paddles. Mid-Engine Layout The 6.2L V8 sits behind the driver and in front of the rear axle rather than under the hood, giving the Stingray a lower center of gravity as well as nearly 50-50 weight distribution. The result is improved stability, more predictable steering, and reduced body roll, allowing the sports car to outpace its rivals at bends and corners. State-of-the-Art Suspension The available Z51 performance suspension with Magnetic Selective Ride Control further enhances the Corvette Stingray's maneuverability. The setup provides outstanding lateral stiffness and incorporates a magnetorheological suspension fluid to deliver precise adaptive damping. The performance characteristics of the suspension and Magnetic Selective Ride Control can be adjusted via the driver mode selector. Aerodynamic Design One glance at the Corvette Stingray convinces anyone that it is a million-dollar supercar, thanks to its low profile and extremely sculpted body. However, the Stingray's design philosophy isn't all about aesthetics; it helps the sports car cut through drag and reach a top speed of 194 mph. The sports car also features a high-rake stance, which is achieved through 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, further improving aerodynamic efficiency. Breathtaking Performance The sports car is extremely quick off the line, thanks to its V8 engine, standard rear-wheel drive, and aerodynamic design. Putting the pedal to the metal rockets the Corvette Stingray to 60 mph in 2.9 seconds (requires the Z51 Performance Package). On the drag strip, the sports car flies past the quarter-mile mark in a lightning-fast 11.2 seconds. To truly appreciate the Corvette Stingray's power and handling, you need to slip into the driver's seat.
