Karl Stracke, who is the Vice President of global engineering at General Motors, as come out with a statement which if true, could alter the face of the hybrid sportscar. He was quoted as saying that the idea of a hybrid corvette was “interesting” and added ““You could keep a normal powertain configuration for a small amount of very excited car enthusiasts,” Stracke said. “And turn 80 to 90 percent of your sports-car portfolio to hybridization.”

Stracke made the comments whilst denying that GM was developing a mid-engined Corvette.
