Not too long ago, we saw the actual performance numbers for the C8 Corvette E-Ray as Paragon Performance placed the hybrid supercar on the dyno, discovering that the torque output is possibly higher than General Motors has advertised. Based on that test, the E-Ray actually makes 573 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque at the wheels, which are still pretty impressive figures. But with the help of a Lingenfelter Performance Engineering supercharger, that power can be pushed even further for the Corvette hybrid.
Lingenfelter Supercharged C8 Corvette E-Ray: Details
According to the Facebook post by Lingenfelter, the supercharged Corvette E-Ray build is nearly complete. The build itself is a collaboration between LPE and Magnuson. Still, the supercharger isn’t the only modification made to the hybrid Corvette, as the company also added a Fabspeed exhaust, Eventuri cold air intake airbox, and an assortment of other performance parts from Paragon Performance. With the build almost complete, we can expect information regarding the supercharged E-Ray package soon.
The Lingenfelter supercharger build likely uses similar components to the company’s package for the C8 Corvette Stingray, which bumps power from 495 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque to 700 ponies and 675 lb-ft of torque. With that in mind, the C8 Corvette E-Ray could produce 808 horsepower and 840 lb-ft of torque with the Lingenfelter supercharger setup it has implemented into the car. Hopefully the transmission can handle it.
Keep in mind that the C8 Corvette E-Ray is an all-wheel-drive hybrid, and it’s not very often that we see modifications such as a supercharger getting placed in any vehicle that features some electrification, so this endeavor is pretty wild. Especially when you consider that it’s likely done to eventually bring a supercharger kit for customers to enjoy at some point in the future, for now, the supercharged C8 Corvette E-Ray could see some seriously absurd power figures very soon.
