  • Digital gauge from the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) revealed in trailer video

    Almost exactly one year ago we told you that the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette would feature an advanced new instrument cluster. Today, in its second video trailer for the new car, Chevy has given us a glimpse at some of the digital gauges that will feature. It’s hard to tell from the brief glimpse provided, but it looks like a traditional speedometer will sit next to a digital tachometer. Next to this will be an information screen providing vital stats such as engine and oil temperatures, oil and tire pressures, and battery charge. We also get some comments from Alex McDonald, who is the...

    The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette will be making its world debut in January, but the first test drives of the car won’t be available until the sales launch later in 2013. If, like us, you just can’t wait, dust off your PlayStation 3 or visit a friend that owns one and get ready to test drive...

    Jaguar's F-Type Stars With Damian Lewis In 'Desire': Video

    Automakers have gone a bit over-the-top in recent years, using stylistic videos to pitch their wares. While BMW’s The Driver series was a hit with fans and critics alike, Aston Martin’s promo for the Rapide, called True Power, was just plain bizarre and off the mark. To promote its new...

  • 2014 Jaguar XFR-S

    The most powerful Jaguar sedan ever is ready for a world debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show, and the first photos have hit the Web just before its official reveal. The Jaguar XFR-S sedan counters the efficient new V-6s added to the luxury four-door's lineup with a blistering 550-horsepower, 5.0-liter, supercharged V-8 engine shared with the XKR-S coupe and convertible--one with more aural pleasure than today's supercharged V-8 XFR, thanks to straighter exhaust runs and a conduit for more exhaust noise to reach the cabin. The 40-hp boost over the current XFR makes the XFR-S the highest-output...

    Development of the new Rolls-Royce Ghost Coupe is progressing nicely, as evidenced by this spy video showing a prototype being flung around the arduous Nürburgring-Nordschleife with sports car-like pace.

  • 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) Convertible spy shots

    General Motors is hard at work developing eight-speed transmissions for both transverse (front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive) and longitudinal (rear-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive) applications, which will ensure the brand’s competitiveness with others in terms of both performance and fuel economy. One of the cars to benefit from eight forward speeds is the 2014 Corvette, which will likely have a choice of six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transaxles. As Motor Trend reports, however, timing to market could determine which eight-speed automatic the Corvette is launched with. The...

  • 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) Convertible spy shots

    Though Chevrolet is playing coy with its teaser videos and information on the 2014 Corvette (aside from its just-revealed LT1 V-8 engine, of course), spy photographers the world over are having a field day with the coupe--and now, with the convertible. Lucky us. Here, we see a Corvette Convertible prototype in testing in the U.S. alongside a 2014 Corvette Coupe and a 991 Porsche 911. The photos reveal the C7 convertible will use a folding soft top, rather than the seemingly ubiquitous folding hard top. The solid-seeming and form-fitting shape of the soft top looks rather good to our eyes...
