## Electric Corvette Still Happening
Roma states electric Corvette will eventually join lineup but not today.

> Someday we will fully electrify Corvette. But not today.

## Electric Corvette Challenges
Making electric Corvette feel special requires overcoming weight, handling and driver engagement hurdles.

## Porsche Stays Combustion
Porsche has committed to keeping 911 combustion engine alive forever.

> Porsche CEO Michael Leiters explicitly says there will never be a fully electric version

GM sees electric cars as end game but V8 still has life left in it.

> The V8 still has plenty of life left, but the clock is ticking toward an electrified future
## Electric Corvette Concepts
Chevy has three electric Corvette concepts for 2025 but no production timeline.
