Chevrolet ends Corvette E-Ray production and revives Bolt for 2027

General Motors announced that production of the Corvette E‑Ray will conclude with the 2026 model year. The hybrid sports car will be succeeded in 2027 by the Grand Sport X, which retains the 6.2‑liter LT2 V8 and electric motor but adds a larger engine and a name linked to Zora Arkus‑Duntov’s 1963 racing project. The 2026 E‑Ray receives interior refinements and updated controls, making it the most polished version of the short‑run model.

Separately, GM has reintroduced the Chevrolet Bolt for a single‑year run in 2027 after previously discontinuing the hatchback. Launched in early 2026, the new Bolt is built on GM’s latest EV platform shared with the Equinox and Blazer EVs, priced around $29,000 and targeting budget‑conscious buyers. Sales are modest but growing, and the model aims to fill a sub‑$30,000 niche in the competitive entry‑level EV market.
