At the Goodwood Festival of Speed, the Corvette E-Ray made its European public debut, thrilling crowds with dynamic hillclimb runs and static displays. Octane Magazine described the car's dynamic demonstration: spectators watched as the hybrid-AWD Corvette—now available in right-hand drive—raced up Goodwood's famous hill, highlighting the car's instantaneous electric torque and 2.9 s 0–62 mph capability.
A Q&A with former Corvette factory driver Oliver Gavin on Chevrolet Europe's press site further explained the E-Ray's technology: the 644 CV powertrain uses an electric front axle to deliver eAWD, while Stealth Mode enables quiet early-morning departures and London congestion-zone emissions benefits. The car also features Magnetic Selective Ride Control 4.0, adjustable steering, Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes and digital instrument graphics inspired by Chevrolet's racing programmes.
Coverage of the public debut reinforces Corvette's commitment to the UK market and positions the E-Ray as a technological showcase within Europe's vibrant automotive festival calendar.
