GM is Shifting the Corvette Team over to its EV Program
BREAKING NEWS over on the front page, guys. CONFIRMED by GM.
BREAKING: GM Commits to ‘an All-Electric Future’ and Shifts Corvette Engineers Over to Autonomous and Electric Vehicles Program |
So the B team gets to finish the performance variants of the C8?
|
The whole Corvette team :confused: What a drastic decision! I don't think they have thought this through well :crazy2:
|
The beginning of the end for our beloved, all-engine, Corvettes.
|
Not sure what to think about this.. Electric certainly has its pros and cons.
|
This isn't as dramatic as it's made to seem in the article. For now it is primarily an organizational change with a few personnel changes so the entire team is not being reassigned to other work. Check out this InsideEVs article:
In practical terms, the shift will see Tadge Juechter stay on as the Executive Chief Engineer for Global Corvette. He has been involved with the Corvette program for its past three generations. Ed Piatek, the Corvette Chief Engineer will have a new role and title: Chief Engineer - Future Product. Finally, Josh Holder is being named Chief Engineer for Global Corvette, taking Piatek's place. |
Having problems with a simple frunk closure.....another all new "reconfigured" Corvette with MORE computers and electric wiring...we can only wait and see.
|
Updated the article. GM called us to clarify that "the same team that’s already working on the Corvette will finish all current projects. Presumably, this means the Z06 and ZR1 and any other crazy edition we know is coming. It’s just that the Corvette team is ALSO working under this new direction."

Sell your GM stock. I and many others will NEVER buy an electric Corvette. They will lose the performance market as well as all the rest of vehicle markets.
|
I can see all current vettes gaining in value immediately. Can't stand to watch any form of eRacing with their "hhhmmmmmmmm-wwwhheeeerrrrrrrrr". Wake me up!!!!!! Got to be a nightmare!!!!!!!!:willy:
|
Nobody ever saw this coming. Electric Corvette -- who could have imagined that?
Oh wait, somebody did say this would happen and soon. Hmmm, who was that guy? |

OTOH, the E-Ray will be much faster and cheaper to build once battery costs are reduced. No oil changes either. |

Are you trying to say Government Motors has a direct line to a guy sleeping in his basement waiting for ground hog day? (NOV 3)

I completely understand where you're coming from, but have you ever raced a Tesla? The performance is OUTSTANDING.

Associated new flash: With GM focusing on an "all electric" future this long time GM car buyer about to buy the last GM car I will ever own........what a bunch of idiots.

From a stoplight maybe. I was able to reel them in on the highway in my C5 once we pass 100, no problem. Not interested in an all-electric hotrod. Hybrid, on the other hand...

I think we're gonna see a hybrid long before all-electric. The question, to me at least, is will it be the Z06 or ZR1 where it debuts.
