Is this a prototype E-Ray testing at the ring in Germany ?

Notice the front rotor
Is this the E-ray ?
Listen to the exhaust of the Z06 in front of it and then this 2nd C8



Watch this closely

I read an article about that recently somewhere. And yes, they said it was a E-ray prototype thing as it had covers over the "brake disc/rotor" area in an attempt to hide the electric gubbins.

As to whether its all true? Well, that's the problem with the internetz isn't it.....

To be honest all I'm hearing here is ICE Corvettes with different engine noise depending on model and/or exhaust sound setting. To my eye all the cars have brake callipers trailing their front discs and leading their rear discs. However a 1,500 kg sports car is powered it's going to need some serious brakes to stop it from high speed and front brakes generally do more work than the rears. While "regenerative braking" may be commonplace on hybrids and electrics I can't see it replacing hefty front discs, merely supplementing them in normal driving.
