All-Electric Corvette Sports Helix, Xtrac, & New Eagle Technologies: See it at SEMA

Coming up in early November, New Eagle, Xtrac, and Helix will be at SEMA 2025 to unveil the future of high-performance electrification. These technology leaders will come together to showcase two engineering prototype kits—including a fully electrified C7 EV Corvette Grand Sport.

Unlike a conceptual showcase piece, these kits exhibit validated technology that’s touchable, tuneable, and tangible—and ready to pave the way for commercialization. Join us November 4–7 at SEMA 2025 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We’ll be in the Race & Performance area, Central Hall, Booth #22955.

Discover how New Eagle, Xtrac, and Helix worked together—aligned under a single mission—combining our expertise in controls, drivetrains, and performance engineering to offer a glimpse into the future of electric performance integration.

Read on for a sneak peek.

The Electrified C7 Corvette Grand Sport: A Vehicle With Purpose

The focus of this collaboration is not just the all-electric C7 Grand Sport Corvette (though it is a pretty cool conversation starter). It’s about delivering high performance and showcasing technologies that are scalable, production-oriented, and commercially viable.

Our C7 EV Corvette Grand Sport prototype is a complete electric drivetrain conversion—not a hybrid, not an ICE-assisted system. A fully electric, high-performance platform that proves there’s no need to compromise on power or precision, with performance targets of 0–60 mph in about 2.75–2.85 seconds and a top speed over 200 mph.

At SEMA, you’ll get to see more than a concept drawing and specs or a mere cool tech showpiece. We’re showcasing a tangible prototype that’s been developed based on functional vehicle validation software and simulation-based, parallel testing. . Thanks to the combination of data-driven validation with system-level performance tuning, engineers and buyers alike can rely on a smooth transition from prototype to production. This means shorter development timelines, reduced costs, and more seamless integration with proven integrated kits.

Technology Synergy: Integration, Precision, Performance

The joint effort in developing this all-electric C7 represents a whole new level of cross-industry collaboration. To create a unified performance architecture, each partner brought its own domain mastery: Xtrac in gearbox engineering, Helix in motor and inverter systems, and us here at New Eagle in vehicle controls and integration.

Xtrac: Gearbox Engineering With Racing Heritage

Xtrac’s contribution draws directly from its racing pedigree, with technology proven across Aston Martin, Formula E, and Le Mans programs. For the electrified Corvette, Xtrac engineered a single-speed EV gearbox designed specifically to handle instantaneous EV torque while maintaining stability and efficiency at high speeds.

The gearbox is optimized for peak power delivery, lightweight packaging, and durability under extreme load—the perfect evolution of Xtrac’s motorsport DNA to peak electric propulsion.

Helix: Motor and Inverter Innovation

Helix delivers the Corvette’s electric drive units, combining compact, high-efficiency motors with advanced inverter systems. These units prioritize power density, thermal performance, and modular scalability, allowing the same core technology to be adapted for both low-volume specialty vehicles and future OEM platforms.

In the C7 Corvette, Helix’s drive system provides instant torque, ultra-fast acceleration, and sustained high-performance output. The system’s compact design enhances vehicle balance, while the efficient inverter architecture maintains power stability under extreme conditions—critical for repeatable track performance.

New Eagle: Controls, Integration, and Systems Engineering

At the heart of any advanced EV lies a sophisticated controls architecture, and that’s where our expertise here at New Eagle comes into play. We provide both the software and hardware that orchestrates a seamless interaction between motor, inverter, and gearbox.

Integration in this project was no easy feat. Aligning instantaneous EV torque delivery with precise transmission control, while also maintaining vehicle stability through the aforementioned performance targets was a significant challenge. Our engineers were up for it—effecting real-time power management, predictive torque vectoring, and performance optimization, all without compromising drivability or reliability.

With our model-based development process and advanced control strategies, we are proud to help unlock the full capability of cutting-edge EV drivetrains and bridge the gap between prototype performance and production readiness.

Collaborative Synergy on Full Display

The combination of Helix electric drive units, Xtrac transmission, and New Eagle Raptor controls comes together in the C7’s drivetrain system—designed for high performance, scalability, and manufacturability.

We believe this synergy is more than just a technology demonstration for all-electric powertrain integration. Each component is engineered for real-world scalability, providing OEMs with ready-to-integrate solutions for the next generation of electric performance vehicles. Seeing the full system—from drivetrain to software and safety, plus a serious cool factor—will surely inspire some “what if” thinking. After all, when capability meets collaboration, anything is possible.

Engineering for the Future: Performance Electrification, Scalability, and Commercialization

Electrification goes beyond efficiency and emissions. It allows designers, engineers, and manufacturers to unlock new dimensions of control and responsiveness in performance. Unlike their traditional ICE counterparts, EV systems provide instantaneous power delivery and precise electronic control, enabling performance levels that were previously unattainable. This all-electric Corvette is redefining what’s possible in vehicle dynamics.

Beyond the prototype, the technologies on display at SEMA demonstrate scalability across platforms—from performance coupes to light commercial vehicles and motorsport applications. Each partner’s modular design approach means the same core technologies can adapt to different power levels, configurations, and market requirements.

This C7 prototype represents not just a collaboration but a development milestone for the next generation of performance EV systems.

Driving the Future: Electrified and Engineered to Perform

The C7 Electric Corvette is a vision realized through engineering collaboration, systems integration, and performance innovation. It reimagines a modern icon for the electric era—combining the precision of Helix, the heritage of Xtrac, and the integration expertise of New Eagle.

Together, these companies are proving that high-performance electrification is not a compromise but an evolution where sustainability meets speed, control, and excitement.

Check out the C7 to see and evaluate our tech in content, not just concept. The electrified Corvette will be at SEMA Booth #22955 where you can talk with our team about EV drivetrain integration, scalable performance kits, and production-ready control systems.

Electrification meets performance. See it. Hear it. Experience it—at SEMA 2025.
