E-Ray Arrives: Hybrid, AWD Corvette Launches in Europe (RHD for UK)

General Motors confirmed that the Corvette E‑Ray—the first hybrid and first all‑wheel‑drive Corvette—would be sold in Europe beginning summer 2025, with right‑hand‑drive (RHD) models for the UK. According to Octane Magazine, prices start at €169,000 for the coupe on the continent and £153,440 in the UK, with the convertible commanding a slight premium.

The E‑Ray combines a 6.2‑litre LT2 V8 driving the rear wheels with a 161 bhp front e‑motor, producing a combined 644 CV and delivering 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds. The hybrid system allows an all‑electric "Stealth Mode" for up to four miles, while the eAWD system offers real‑time torque distribution, improving traction on wet or snowy European roads. The car retains active dampers and Magnetic Selective Ride Control, and it offers optional carbon‑fibre wheels.

GM's European press materials emphasise that the E‑Ray's launch supports the marque's growing dealer network, recently expanded via the Hedin Mobility Group. The E‑Ray's combination of everyday usability and supercar acceleration gives it broad appeal as the first electrified Corvette hits European roads.
