Corvette E-Ray prototype burns to the ground in Spain

A video was recently shared on Instagram of a Corvette E-Ray hybrid test vehicle catching fire out in Spain. There's barely anything left of the car after the fired was put out.

The fire reportedly started "in the prototype’s engine bay following an oil leak, leading to a runaway blaze that eventually ignited the hybrid sports car’s battery pack, as well."

I like how the photographer didn't center the burning car in the middle of the photo. Instead, they made sure to compose the shot to include a nice backdrop of the Spanish hillside. You know, in case you wanted to use the picture as a desktop wallpaper or maybe frame it.

So apparently this Corvette was a regular ICE C8 and not the hybrid model.

Chevrolet spokesperson, Trevor Thompkins, reached out to GM Authority shortly after our article was published to correct the record on some of the rumors that were circulating about the fire. Thompkins says the prototype that burnt down did not have any electrified components in it and is instead a pure internal combustion engine vehicle. Additionally, the automaker notes the test mule is not in a configuration that customers would receive, as it’s equipped with various diagnostics equipment and other components that would not be found in a production model, so this unfortunate situation is not indicative of the Corvette’s fire safety.
