Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2011 The Best Sports Car

Due to the dramatic presentation of the prototype, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray ( Centennial ) in Salon Chicago a few days ago. A futurologist anxious as the website has taken the job of recreating a version of this model for future Le Mans of 2011 . A dream that could become reality, if indeed this is the prototype of the new Corvette ( C7 )

The most stunning area of the ZR1 is obviously the performance. This car will reach 60 mph in just over three seconds, which is quicker than a $300k Ferrari 599! And you'll roll on to a top sepp of about 205 mph! It's very ballistic, possibly the most ballistic a car can get.

The only downside of this car is its interior. For a $120k sports car, I would've expected better seats and better interior materials.But overall, you cannot ignore the ZR1s inane performance and insane handling, not even if you're an Italian supercar fan.

Here's what's possible when you apply everything you've learned in racing and engineering for a single car - the Corvette ZR1 (very limited availability). With 638-hp LS9 engine was supercharged and superior test-track speed of 205 mph, it was GM's fastest production car of all time. The ZR1 is the overall winner of the 2010 Car and Driver Lightning Lap competition, which pitted it against the ZR1 the fastest car in the world.

ZR1 engineer was religious about keeping the ratio of power-to-weight advantage. So they set a high strength, lightweight materials wherever possible. One example is the aluminum frame structure (the same used on the C6.R race cars), which weighs 138 pounds. less than an equivalent steel structure. Results: The ratio of power-to-weight highly profitable by 5.2 kilograms per horsepower.

2011 Chevrolet Traverse, Nice Stylish and Spacious Cabin

Over the last few years, many people have come to the realization that although they liked the convenience that traditional SUVs provide, they do not really like how this slow heavy, truck-based giant can. If you're one of these people, we encourage you to check the 2011 Chevrolet Traverse.

Apart from the audio system relocated USB input and the addition of heated cloth seats to the list of options for model LT, 2011 Chevrolet Traverse remain largely unchanged. As a big crossover, Traverse combines the power of people-and cargo-schlepping from an SUV with carlike ride and handling of a minivan. Indeed, by choosing a crossover, you will give up heavy-duty towing capacity of those old-school sport-utes and the practicality of the end of a minivan. However, at the end of the day, the benefits offered by such Traverse crossover makes them the smart choice for many racers.

While the Traverse is the most expensive of the three GM's big crossover built on the same basis (the other two are the Buick Enclave and GMC Acadia), was interesting in a way that goes beyond the bottom line. Families will appreciate the roomy interior offers comfortable seating for up to eight passengers, they will also tend to be warm with a surprising number of upscale features found on upper trim levels. Fuel economy is decent and relatively high scores in government crash tests and the insurance industry is also part of the deal.

2011 Chevrolet Traverse is a large crossover SUV is available in LS, LT and LTZ trim levels. Standard equipment on the LS include 17-inch steel wheels, eight-passenger seating, split-folding second-and third-row bench seat, tilt steering wheel-and-telescoping, air conditioning, full power accessories, OnStar and six-speaker CD/MP3 player with auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio.

The midrange LT trim level is actually comprised of two sub-trim choices: a well equipped 1LT 2LT and more upscale. 1LT Package offers 18-inch alloy wheels, heated side mirrors, eight-way power driver's seat, trip computer, a steering wheel wrapped in leather and rear parking sensors. Select 2LT package and you'll get all that plus tri-zone automatic climate control, 10-speaker Bose system (with USB port), rear audio control system, seven-passenger seating (second row captain's chairs display), a power liftgate and a camera integrated into the rearview mirror.

The Traverse LTZ luxury ups ante with 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery, heated and ventilated power front seats (with driver memory settings), Bluetooth connectivity and remote ignition. Many standard features on the top trim levels can be added with a lower through option packages. Other highlights from the list of add-ons including trailer-towing package, navigation system (with real-time traffic, rearview camera and USB ports), dual sunroofs and rear seat entertainment DVD system (with USB port).

Chevy Spark to Debut as Holden Barina Spark at Sydney Motor Show

GM is gearing up for the Australian launch of the new Chevrolet Spark, which has been on sale in Asia and Europe for some months now. The first step towards its local launch is an appearance at the Australian International Motor Show in Sydney next week, before it goes on sale locally as the Holden Barina Spark in late 2010.

Oddly enough, Holden sells the first-gen Chevrolet Aveo as the Holden Barina with a range consisting of three- and five-door hatchbacks and a four-door sedan. The Barina Spark will most likely be slotted in as an affordable entry level model.

The Barina Spark is equipped with a 1.2-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with fuel economy said to be around the 5.6lt / 100 km (42 US mpg) mark. Standard equipment will include alloy wheels, fog lamps, six airbags and Electronic Stability Control (ESC).

John Elsworth, Director of Sales, Marketing and Aftersales at Holden has great confidence in the Barina Spark:

"This is a very style-conscious market and with Barina Spark we have a really fresh and energetic design that breaks the 'cute car' mould. It's fun, fuel efficient and offers class-leading safety features and value for money in the best Holden tradition."

Pricing and detailed specifications will be released at the Sydney Show, which runs from the 15th to the 24th ofOctober. The U.S. launch of the Chevrolet Spark is set for 2012.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro Caught Wearing LED Tails and Fatty-Bo-Batty Side Mirrors

We've already shown you video of the 2012 Camaro Z/28 doing its thing on the Nürburgring, and now there are more spy pictures of the facelifted model it could be based on. Other than the appropriately modern-looking LED taillights [voice your thoughts below], the updated version of Chevy's own pony car is believed to also benefit significantly from a yet unseen refreshed interior.

Besides the rear lights and diffuser-mounted reflectors, the major update is a pair of the most obtuse, minivan-ish side mirrors ever (EVER). Hopefully those are just for testing / Euro market purposes, but that's probably not the case.

Other improvements for the 2012 model year should include engine/suspension tweaks as well as more special editions (this competes with the Mustang, after all).

As soon as we know a little more, we'll let you know. Until then, how about we get some brainstorming going on regarding the interior? I'll go first: less cheap plastic.

VIDEO: Chevy brings 2012 Camaro Z/28 to the 'Ring

Now that the Z/28 program is back on track, GM has begun to test its Shelby-killer super Camaro at the Nürburgring. You can check out the vid below; it shows the car scooting around the track and rolling around on unsuspecting German roads.

Unlike Ford's new Mustang Boss 302, which is more in-line with its original iteration, the new Z/28 shrugs off its Trans-Am heritage for range-topping excess that's high power out-putting with better stopping and handling than the current SS.

When the car comes out next year as a 2012 model, there should be a version of the CTS-V's LSA supercharged V8 under the hood. Whether or not the engine will be re-tuned is anyone's guess at the moment, but if it were to strictly carry over I'm pretty sure no one would complain. After all, it's still got 556 horsepower, 551 lb-ft of twist, and a six-speed driving the rear wheels.

Pricing is still up in the air, but if this is meant to go up against Ford's Shelby GT500 we should be seeing it in the mid- to high-40k's before options. More info as it becomes available.

GM's South Korean Plant First to Produce New Chevy Aveo

General Motor's South Korean Daewoo unit announced today that it will handle initial production of the new Chevrolet Aveo at its local Bupyeong plant in Incheon. The new Aveo will make its debut under the Daewoo brandname in the South Korean market in the first half of 2011 before a global rollout as a Chevrolet.

"GM Daewoo is proud to be the first member of the GM family to produce and sell GM's next-generation global small car," said GM Daewoo President and CEO Mike Arcamone. "With demand for small cars on the rise worldwide, this is great news not only for GM Daewoo and our suppliers, but for Korean consumers as well."

The Detroit automaker has previously stated the North American market Aveo will be built at its Orion Assembly in Orion Township, Mich., in 2011, a move that is said to restore around 1,200 jobs to Southeast Michigan.

The production version of the new Aveo hatchback was given its world premiere at the Paris Motor Show last week.

In European guise, Chevrolet will offer the Aveo with four petrol engines, including two 1.2-liter units delivering 70HP and 86HP, a 100HP 1.4-liter and a 115HP 1.6-liter powerplant, plus a 1.3-liter turbo diesel engine featuring Start/Stop technology that will be available with either 75HP or 90HP.

Chevrolet is also planning to introduce a four-door sedan version of the Aveo, which will most likely make its debut either in LA this November or in Detroit in early January 2011.
