First Retail Production 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray Sells For $1.15M

Barring dealership markups, the 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray is something of a supercar bargain at just over $100,000. Specifically, the hybrid 'Vette starts at $102,900, not including destination charges. Production hasn't started yet, but when it does, the first E-Ray is already sold for a whopping $1.15 million.

The first retail production electrified Corvette was hammered as sold for the seven-figure sum last weekend at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. The winning bidder didn't buy the blue car at the event, however. That was a pre-production model, possibly the same blue E-Ray we've seen in Chevrolet's press photos. Once production begins, the buyer will configure the car however they like. And being the first, it will of course have the coveted 001 VIN plate. As for all that cash, all the proceeds from this auction go to DonorsChoose, a charity dedicated to helping teachers and public schools.
