Hybrid/Electric Vette????
This teaser image from Detroit Electric looks likes their upcoming two seat sports car is based on the C7. I know a hybrid/electric may be blasphamous to most of us but maybe there is a market for this.

I pure electric with 300 mile range, 0 to 60 @ 4 seconds. Electric torque is amazing. It is already available in other cars (Tesla Motors) The only negative is lack of a manual transmission, engineering can make that happen.

Save for the hood, looks like it may be Lotus based.
[Edit] It is Lotus based. http://jalopnik.com/detroit-electric...et-a-456350550

Hydrid / Electric Corvette?
Right now, NO. Pipe dream at this time (in the future, maybe, but not now). If they did come up with one with reasonable range, the price would not make it profitable. Leave it to the government to screw this up.
