Recently, a member of the popular social media site Reddit posted some behind-the-scenes pictures from the eighth-generation Corvette with the headline, “In case yall have never seen a stripped down Corvette.” The wide range of stripped-down pictures got many enthusiasts on the r/Corvette subreddit page talking, and CorvSport wants to give a big thanks to r/Corvette member ClayDough, who brought these interesting pictures to the Corvette enthusiasts on Reddit.
In keeping with ClayDough’s spirit… Hey CorvSport readers, here are some cool pictures of a cutaway E-Ray, the TREMEC DCT, the LT2 and LT6 engines, and the E-Ray electric motor, in case you’ve never seen them. I know a couple are new to me!

Some insights behind the display and various cutaway components.
- One poster comments he thinks he’s seen this display at the IMSA Corvette vendor tent.
- ClayDough confirms the display is currently at the National Corvette Museum Motorsports Park, where he works, and it’s likely they bring them to other events.
- Another member confirms they were used for the “Corvette Academy training class,” while another confirms he was at this training in May.
