The  Genovation GXE , an American electric road supercar based on the  Chevrolet Corvette , will debut at the  Los Angeles Auto Show  ( November 30 - December 9 ). A first appearance took place last January at the  CES in Las Vegas , but the real presentation before the launch on the market (scheduled for 2019) is at the Los Angeles event. Meanwhile, the  Genovation GXE  has already been noted thanks to some very special features that distinguish it. First of all, the choice of  Genovation Car Inc , an American company that deals with customization, to use the frame and body of an icon like the  Corvette , has produced an intriguing means to the eye, with those sporty and aggressive lines so dear to fans of Chevrolet.  Then there is the fact that the Genovation GXE holds the official record (certified in the Guinness Book of Records) of the fastest road car on the "standing mile" (test of acceleration from ...

While the world is waiting anxiously to know if the future Corvette C8 will really deliver 1,000 horsepower from its centrally placed engine, Hennessey has decided instead to carelessly improve the C7 , the latest version of the 'Vette with V8 engine front and rear wheel drive, pulling out as many horses as ever will have the C8. As we already know the ZR1 is impressive: 755 horses, almost a thousand Nm of torque, 0-100 in 2.8 seconds and so much downforce to make it effective even in the corners. Yet the American company found it weak, so he gave her an injection of power and malice. 800 horses? 900? 1,000? Nein, John Hennessey took the 6.2-liter V8 with volumetric compressor and brought it to 1,218 horsepower and 1,455 Nm of torque, all sent to the rear wheels. It seems only synonymous with big problems, yet the traction seems to be still a known concept since the performances speak of a 0-100 in 2.2 seconds, the quarter mile covered in 9.2 and a top speed of ...

The new Chevrolet Corvette C8 could be unveiled soon: in the meantime the road tests of the future American sports car will be intensified. For the first time in the history a Corvette will be distinguished by the presence of the propeller mounted in a central position instead of anterior. The new Chevrolet Corvette C8 should be unveiled by the end of 2018 or at most within the first few months of 2019. The next generation of the American sport par excellence is still engaged in the long and challenging phase of testing that is seeing it as a protagonist already by some months. In fact, the American brand is investing a lot of energy to test and develop in the best way the future C8, a supercar that surely will mark a great turning point in its history thanks to an innovative technical layout compared to tradition. The first central-engine Corvette ... or almost! In fact, the new C8 will be the first Corvette to enjoy the technical scheme that provides for the ad...

Following the announcement last June, Chevrolet showed the first images of the Corvette C7.R # 64 in the Redline livery with which Corvette Racing will take part in the 6 Hours of Shanghai, fifth round of the 2018-2019 season of the World Endurance (FIA) WEC) scheduled for Sunday 18 November at the Shanghai International Circuit. The single specimen inscribed in the GTE Pro class and led by Oliver Gavin and Tommy Milner presents a body with silver tint and black and red inserts, the same graphic details provided on the Redline. The aim is to promote the launch of the special edition in China, with the operation supported by the joint venture between SAIC Motor and General Motors (SAIC-GM).  This is a maneuver that coincides with the twentieth anniversary of the commitment in the races of Corvette Racing, as well as the first time of an official Corvette in Asia, but not in the World Endurance. In fact, except for the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the last appear...

Presented as the most powerful Corvette ever, the ZR1 keeps its label. The American supercar has tested itself on the Automotive Testing Papenburg , in Germany. It is a test circuit, four hours north of the Nurburgring , on which the car manufacturers test the maximum speeds. The track is a circular ring and to measure the official maximum speed it must be traveled in both directions. In favor of wind and with contrary wind. The maximum speed is calculated from their average. The ZR1 arrived at 214.88 mph in one of the tests, or 345.8 km / h. On the other occasion it was "stopped" at 210.20 miles, or 338.2 km / h. Its 755 HP are unleashed from the mighty 6.2-liter V8 , supported by an Eaton volumetric compressor. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes less than three seconds and the maximum speed declared before these tests was 337 km / h.  On the German circuit, the ZR1 was in standard trim, with the normal rear wing and not that of the ZTK perf...

The ZR1 , the most powerful Corvette ever, takes measurements on the Nurburgring circuit. The American supercar was filmed during some test tests on the German track. As you can see, the model in question looks like a prototype but it is very close to the production version. At the Nurburgring the ZR1 watches since its presentation at the Detroit Motor Show in January. The American car wants to become the third car to fall under the 7-minute track limit . The track record is held by the Porsche 911 GT2 RS in 6’47″3. A record won by the Lamborghini Huracan Performante who had stopped the clock in 6’52″01. In the viewfinder there is however the Dodge Viper ACR . Beating its time of 7'01''3 would mean to be the fastest American car and most likely to fall under the 7-minute limit. The potential is there all. The ZR1, as mentioned, is the most powerful Corvette ever. The mighty 6.2-liter V8 produces 755 horsepower, unpar...

The Corvette ZR1 proves to be strong even on the straight with its supercharged V8 755 hp, shooting from 0 to 96 km / h in just 2.85 seconds.  In the sports market the Chevrolet Corvette has always been an icon and the ZR1 variant represents the most powerful version of the american supercar. With 755 hp released from the s upercharged 6.2 V8 , in fact, she managed to get behind the fast Ford GT on the Virginia International Raceway. But that's not all, because Corvette Blogger has recently discovered its acceleration data thanks to statements from the model Product Manager, Harlan Charles . Well, the time on 0-60 mph (0-96 km / h) is around 2.85 seconds. The shot from zero up to 100 mph (160 km / h) takes place in 6 seconds, while the quarter mile (0-400 m) is covered in 10.6 seconds with an output speed of 215 km / h. Compared to the previous 650 hp C6 Z06 there has been an improvement, but not an exploit. In fact, the latter can reach 60 mph in 2.95 seconds a...
