"First 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray sells for over $1 million at auction"

The first Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray was sold for $1.1 million at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction, with all proceeds going to the Donors Choose charity. The buyer was NASCAR team owner and car dealer Rick Hendrick, who has been the high bidder at many GM charity auctions. The Corvette E-Ray features an all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain with a combined 655 horsepower and can accelerate to 60 mph in 2.5 seconds. It also has a stealth mode that allows it to operate in a fully electric mode for short distances. Deliveries of the Corvette E-Ray are scheduled to begin this summer.
