The rumored next gen Chevrolet Corvette might be mid-engined, the engine parallel with electric motors on the front & rear axles and also work as generators. A layout makes a very advanced high-performance all-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain (like the Porsche 918). Further supporting the mid-engine Corvette hypothesis is Chevrolet also trademarked new platform architecture named Zora, the iconic engineer/designer of the Corvette. If Chevrolet E-Ray goes down the electrified hypercar route, will it still keep its venerable V-8?
