  • The 2014 Corvette Stingray, testing the production process

    While designing a new version of an existing vehicle is always a complicated process, the 2014 Corvette Stingray takes this to the extreme. Not only is the car’s styling new, but its engineers even began with a blank sheet of paper to create the frame and a portion of its body panels. The 2014 Corvette Stingray will use an aluminum frame in all models, a change that increases stiffness by 57-percent over the C6. The C7’s composite body structure also uses carbon fiber panels for the rood and removable roof (if equipped), and a “carbon nano hybrid” material for the...

    2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG: First Drive

    Construction workers working to the left, Ferrari dealer to the right. Real, actual bustle. Barcelona does not act like the rest of Spain, which is probably why it has two cell phones and is maybe "going out with the girls" on Friday night. Just a few hours earlier, we'd been wedged in the fab...

    Cadillac Tests The 2014 ELR In The Snow: Video

    Strip away the 2014 Cadillac ELR’s sculpted coupe body, and underneath beats a heart very similar to the one in the Chevrolet Volt sedan. You would think, then, that launching a comparable car would be a simple task, with engineers able to breeze through already-completed tests, such as cold...

  • 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to feature new heat-activated ‘smart’ materials

    The latest 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is one the most anticipated sports cars of the year, but it’s not purely because of the car’s striking looks, supercar-like performance and much improved interior. No, it’s because the latest Corvette, a C7 to all the fans, is also one of the most advanced cars entering production this year. In addition to its aluminum structure, carbon fiber panels, fuel-efficient V-8 engine and digital gauge cluster, the 2014 Corvette is also set to debut a new ‘smart material’ in its construction. Developed by General Motors Company...

    Mercedes Claims Its CLA Is The World's Most Aerodynamic Production Car

    Common car design wisdom says that a low coefficient of drag is desirable to increase fuel economy and allow for engine downsizing. At highway speeds, up to 60-percent of the power produced by the engine is used just to move the vehicle through the air. Modern production cars typically have drag...

  • The 2014 Corvette Stingray will debut on March 5 in Geneva

    In the words of Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac Europe, “Corvette is the face of Chevrolet the world over.” It’s fitting, then, that the brand will debut the 2014 Corvette Stingray convertible on March 5, at Switzerland's Geneva Motor Show. Docherty calls the Corvette “an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it’s never officially been offered,” and Chevrolet is quick to point out that 58-percent of those who “Like” the Corvette’s Facebook page live outside of the...

    2014 BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo preview

    BMW's Gran Turismo take on a roomier, more useful vehicle somewhere between a sedan and a wagon wasn't all that well received, at least aesthetically, when it first showed up as a conceptual variant of the 5-Series in 2009. Now, the 3-Series has its own Gran Turismo. Does it work any better in this...

    We’ll admit to being fans of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray, though we’ve yet to get seat time to see how it shapes up against its predecessor. On paper, anyway, even the least-expensive 2014 Corvette sounds like it will deliver significantly more performance than the car it replaces...

  • Joe Flacco and a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray

    It turns out the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray had a starring role at Super Bowl XLVII after all, with the game’s MVP, quarterback Joe Flacco, winning one for his impressive performance in the Ravens victory over the 49ers. With General Motors choosing not to advertise at the Super Bowl this year, there were many, including us, still expecting its star car, the Corvette, to appear somewhere. Many sports fans may have overlooked the Corvette that appeared on the field at Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, despite its bright red finish, though no doubt it caught the eye of...

While the design of the new...
