Moving the engine to the wrong place does free up room for electric motors in the front. AWD Corvette?
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary." —Karl Marx
Be interested in a Hybrid version and just about all of Corvette's competitors offer them, not sure about an Electric Version, probably will be created but still think a Strong Hybrid/Electric is a better solution.
Yes it does, granted an AWD Corvette with Electric Motor FWD would probably lose it's Frunk, but would be easier to package than front driveshaft and Diff.
Then again, it does have that "Backbone" tunnel that could house the Driveshaft for Conventional powered AWD or the Batteries for Hybrid and Electric AWD.
Going to be interesting to see what GM comes up with as I'm sure these variants were "designed into" the new C8 and there are no doubt some "mules" running around now.

EDIT,
Sorry for the confusion, there were some errors found by cross check.
The rounded off numbers for inventory look a little fishy, GM only reporting in thousands?
Here's corrected Sales for first six months

Exactly - if the tranny was designed by GM to allow for electric support, ala what Ford is apparently doing for the transmission in the Hybrid Mustang, then GM could presumably create a hybrid vette with a relatively small lion battery pack that it shouldn't have trouble packaging in the chassis.
The thought of an all electric sports coupe done the right way is veryOriginally Posted by CMiatso DaBang
What would be interesting for real.. at least for me... would be one of these show up where it should be,.. over at a Cadillac dealership with a Crest on the nose. This car's styling SCREAMS Cien 2020. All Electric.. and ONLY electric.. I wouldn't bat an eye.. and I bet wallets would open even at a starting price of $100K. Because this is what the ELR SHOULD have been
appealing, retro fitting electric motors and batteries into ICE pathways
would be a rather interesting project....
