  • 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SEMA show car in Shock color

    The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro color palette is in for a bright new addition. On Tuesday, the brand introduced the Shock yellow exterior color for the pony car, as part of a new Camaro concept heading to the 2018 SEMA show. If the hue looks familiar, that's because it will also be available with the 2019 Chevrolet Bolt EV. The brand first showed off the production color for the electric car this past September. However, the color didn't originate on something electric; it made its conceptual debut on the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro AutoX concept, which the brand showed off at the 2016 SEMA show. ALSO...

    Chevrolet has shown off a group of four 2019 Silverado 1500 concepts it plans on bringing to the 2018 SEMA show next month.

    GM filed 2 aero-related patents for a mid-engine hybrid supercar

    Chevrolet's worst-kept secret is the C8-generation mid-engine Corvette. We've heard a lot of rumors about the upcoming sports car with its engine mounted in the middle, but one has persisted: there won't be a manual transmission. That could change with a new patent General Motors has filed. The patent was published on Sept. 6 with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and details an "electric slave cylinder for manually shifted vehicles." In layman's terms, it's a clutch-by-wire system that would replace hydraulic lines. Jalopnik reported last Friday this is exactly that kind of technology...

    2019 Chevrolet Camaro Turbo 1LE first drive review: Marathoner's muscles in a wide receiver's body

    Muscle cars of the 1960s generally did one thing well. They ground out tarmac-ripping power and torque, hurtling their body-on-frame selves straight down the road or the dragstrip with astonishing acceleration. But squiggly roads, braking zones, or enduring a track meet for longer than 15 minutes...

  • 2018 Hertz 100th Anniversary Edition Chevrolet Corvette Z06

    It was only 10 years after Henry Ford introduced the Model T that the company we know today as Hertz was renting them out. That was back in 1918 when Chicago resident Walter Jacobs started a rental car company with a dozen Ford Model Ts. John Hertz, who founded Yellow Cab Company a few years earlier, eventually bought Jacobs' rental car business in 1923 and lent it his name. To mark its 100th anniversary this year, Hertz has teamed up with Chevrolet to offer the Hertz 100th Anniversary Edition Corvette Z06. A total of 100 of the cars will be added to Hertz's fleet. They'll be available to...

    Hennessey straps the 2019 Chevy Corvette ZR1 to the dyno

    It's fairly common knowledge that the horsepower figures automakers parade around don't reflect power at the wheels. Rather, it's how much hp the engine makes at the crankshaft. Therefore, we need a dynamometer to measure just how much power is getting to the ground. Thankfully, Hennessey...

    2019 Chevy Camaro SS, V-6 return worse fuel economy than 2018 models

    Despite improved aerodynamics and a 10-speed automatic transmission, the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro SS returns worse fuel economy than before. Ditto for V-6 powered Camaros. The EPA posted official fuel economy estimates for Chevy's latest pony car, and they show minor drops in fuel economy, but...

  • 2019 Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette Grand Sport

    The Yenko name is still alive and kicking today, thanks to Specialty Vehicle Engineering, which has been applying it to some wild creations in the recent past. The latest is probably the wildest yet: the 1,000-horsepower Yenko/SC Stage II Corvette. SVE has consistently cranked out high-power Corvettes, Camaros and even Silverados, but the 1,000-hp C7 Corvette is a cherry atop its lineup. Work begins with a 2019 Corvette Grand Sport before the standard 6.2-liter V-8 is stroked to displace 6.8 liters. SVE installs a 2.9-liter supercharger, modifies the cylinder heads with LT4 V-8 components...
