All those who are waiting for the new Corvette E-Ray have had the opportunity, in recent days, to have a small preview of its design. In fact, for a short time , it was time to go. The E-Ray online configurator has been made available. Before the configurator was removed, there was a who is he? managed to take some screenshots which then circulated quickly on the net, through sites and forums dedicated to the American sports car.
Error or “intentional oversight”? We will probably never know. In any case, yes – treaty of a greedy anticipation given the curiosity; what is there? behind the first hybrid Corvette.
FIRST LOOK AT THE DESIGN
The images of the configurator have therefore made it possible to give a first look at the shapes of the new sports car thanks to the renderings of the configurator. How far can you go? note, it seems that the Corvette E-Ray has some elements inherited from the Z06 such as bumpers and side skirts. The "E-Ray" badges stand out on the bodywork and inside the car. to underline the electrified nature of the powertrain.
The screenshots of the configurator then show some customizations of the sports car both in terms of interiors and exteriors.

Unfortunately, no details regarding the powertrain specifications emerge from the configurator.
