Callaway Supercharger Boosts Corvette E-Ray to 847 Horsepower
⚡️ Read the full article on Motorious
The already-powerful Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray has received a massive performance upgrade courtesy of renowned tuner Callaway Cars, pushing the hybrid Corvette's horsepower rating to an eye-popping 847.
Unveiled this week, Callaway's performance upgrade revolves around a 2.9-liter twin-screw Gen4 supercharger paired with an advanced TripleCooled air-to-liquid intercooler. Complemented by Callaway's proprietary "CalCal" engine software tuning, the modification significantly enhances the Corvette's factory 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine.
While the standard E-Ray already delivers over 650 horsepower thanks to its hybrid drivetrain combining a gasoline engine and a 160-horsepower electric motor, Callaway's enhancements increase total output dramatically. The gasoline engine alone jumps to 687 horsepower and 643 pound-feet of torque, which when paired with the electric motor, culminates in a combined 847 horsepower—one of the highest outputs ever offered in a street-legal Corvette.
Notably, Callaway's upgrade isn't limited to the E-Ray. The supercharger kit also fits the non-hybrid C8 Corvette Stingray, which shares the same gasoline V8 powerplant. When fitted to the Stingray, Callaway claims the supercharged Corvette accelerates from 0-60 mph in a blistering 2.67 seconds and covers the quarter-mile in just 10.64 seconds at 129 mph.
Despite the substantial power boost, Callaway emphasizes efficiency and reliability, stating the supercharger requires minimal engine power to operate—just one horsepower—ensuring negligible impact on fuel economy. The upgrade retains all original factory sensors and complies fully with federal and state emissions regulations, including California's stringent CARB standards.
Customers purchasing the Callaway supercharger package will receive unique badging, a leather-bound authenticity certificate, and peace of mind through a three-year, 36,000-mile warranty running alongside GM's factory coverage. Additional customization options include a widebody kit, a signature double-D exhaust system, forged nine-spoke wheels, performance chassis upgrades, and exclusive graphic packages.
Callaway-authorized Chevrolet dealerships in North America are now accepting reservations for the upgrade with a $1,000 deposit required to secure a build slot.

Corvette goes airborne in dramatic drag race crash video
A drag racer walked away from a harrowing crash after the Corvette he was racing at World Wide Technology Raceway in Illinois went airborne. The video, taken during a high-speed test run on May 31 for the VP Racing Fuels Heads-Up Shootout Series, shows driver Jason Hoard's car lift off the ground and crash into the track and tumble onto the embankment on the side of the raceway. "Everything was fine absolutely until the second that it wasn't," Hoard said in a June 4 YouTube interview on "The Wes Buck Show." "I was fine, then it literally felt like the car was going backwards. And I (made) myself small in the seat and I immediately thought this is not good.' Drag racing outlet Extreme 660 Drag Racing, which captured the video and posted it to Facebook, called it "the worst wreck we've filmed." Hoard credited the car's safety gear for walking away with minor injuries following the crash. He noted in the interview that the impact left him unconscious. "I'm super sore, and if you saw me moving around, I'd look like a 95-year-old dude," Hoard said. He added that he had searched the internet for concussion symptoms. "I've been in a bit of a brain fog this week ... I have some floaters in my right eye. I went to the eye doctor, and she said there's some bruising," Hoard said. NewsNation reported that track staff and the National Hot Rod Association have launched an investigation into the crash. Drag Illustrated reported that the crash took place during a test pass at non-NHRA sanctioned event, though it took place at an NHRA-sanctioned facility. "Each WWT Raceway drag racing event features an ALS (Advance Life Support) Ambulance Unit staffed by paramedics specially trained in responding to racing crashes," a statement provided to the network reads. "The WWT Raceway Safety teams were rolling to the crash site while Jason was still rolling and were at the scene of the crash less than 30 seconds after it occurred."
