  • General Motors patent drawing for active aerodynamics system

    General Motors looks to have patented an active aerodynamics system that takes into account body movements when making adjustments. The concept of active aero is to adjust aerodynamic elements such as shutters or spoilers to deliver either lower drag or higher downforce. When done correctly, active aero can yield significant performance gains. Normally, active aero systems take into account a vehicle’s speed when making adjustments. The system patented by GM goes a step further by also taking into account pitch, roll, ride height and even steering wheel position when calculating...

  • 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, 2013 New York Auto Show

    About a year ago, we thought we spied Chevrolet putting a new Camaro Z/28 through the testing ringer. After all, a heavily camouflaged car was spotted turning laps at the Nürburgring. This Camaro could be seen hiding massive front dive planes, a fixed rear wing, a huge set of tires, and a number of other high-performance bits. What wasn't spotted, however, was a badge—because it would have revealed the tester as the new Camaro ZL1 1LE (shown below). Thankfully though—assuming Car and Driver is right—there's still a Z/28 coming, and it should pop up relatively soon. It...
