I'm no fan of ev's, but they are certainly capable of mind-blowing straight line performance. The low roof ev sedan that martinjlm speculates may be the next gen Camaro may well be boring and soulless, but it won't be slow.

Sure, there is the weight and the range problem, plus battery cooling (haha), but not much else and one can easily throw a lot of power at these. Devil in the details like with everything, but still, much-much more difficult problems have been solved with gas propulsion. Software does not look like an issue, non-Tesla automotive software architectures are decades behind the curve in other fields, another easy target. It's like mobile phones and other earlier technologies all over again, another opportunity to start almost from scratch.

Gotta agree here. In another thread I commented how I have ZERO interest in a battery powered "toy" or sports car. No thanks, no how. They're fine for daily run-abouts or to get to work. Great for errands. But, in my Camaro or any other sports/toy car I own? Nope. Gas powered engine please.

As far as this Corvette, I'm down. It looks like the passenger accommodations are a real step up from the great wall of buttons. By 2035, however, I'm sure there will be a massive waiting list. Get your deposit in 5 years early. |

Oh, yeah. This alone would warrant a brand new 0-60 *rpm* metric

Porsche customers expect to pay a lot and as long as Porsche can show that they’re getting something for the Euro, and that it is technologically class leading, they’ll pay for it. Tesla started out with only high priced products and eventually worked their way down the price ladder parallel to their ability to reduce battery cost. Not having to worry about CAFE and/or fines is bonus. If Nissan had taken that approach with Leaf they would have been laughed out of the market. Remember Cadillac ELR? Quote:
