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...

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...

Automakers seem to be pulling out all the stops for this year’s SEMA show, indicating that the automotive aftermarket is chugging along just fine. Both Ford and Chrysler have announced double-digit SEMA show cars, and even Chevrolet seems to be closing in on that number with the late addition...

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...

After falling off the radar for some three decades, the reveal of the ‘lost’ 1960 Corvette raced by Briggs Cunningham at Le Mans made big news prior to this year’s Corvettes at Carlisle show. One of three campaigned by the team in 1960, it was the only one unaccounted for until...

In 1968, Chevrolet replaced the shortest-lived Corvette (the C2, produced for model years 1963-1967) with what would turn out to be the longest-lived variant, the C3.
