2012 Corvette

2012 Corvette: The new Michelins are included in the optional Z07 performance package for the Corvette Z06 and a new PDE performance package on the ZR1. The tires come with all-new aluminum Cup-style wheels in satin black or machined finishes that are about 5 lbs (2.2 kg) lighter and stronger than the 20-spoke wheel.

Another upgrade is the racing-style spoiler included in both Z07 and PDE packages. The Z06 will also get the Magnetic Selective Ride Control suspension technology and Brembo carbon ceramic brakes with the Z07 package. Additional optional extras include the carbon fiber hood on Z06 models and taller gearing for the ZR1 in 5th and 6th gear for a 2-mpg improvement in highway fuel economy.

2011 Corvette Tribute to 50th Anniversary of First Le Mans Win

General Motors has released a 2011 version of the Chevy Corvette, this one a Z06. It is to honour Corvette's 5oth anniversary of first Le Mans Win. The car has 50th Anniversary logo patch that dates from 1960 to 2010. The car is limited to one car and will be used as a fundraiser for NCM. It will serve as $300,000 in taxes, for NCM and will be sold for $85,000. The car features an Arctic White paint-job and has black stripes going down the middle of the tribute. The side mirrors are painted Cyber Gray, while the rims are matte black, making the car look very ferocious. Anyway, this is a great way to pay a tribute to 1960's Briggs Cunningham Corvette!

Pebble Beach plans for 4C

The Pebble Beach is one of the most popular auto display shows. This year's show will have a lot of interesting cars. This includes Alfa Romeo's 4C. Yes, Alfa Romeo has already made a 8C and a convertible version of it too. But this piece of information is only a rumour!

Also, Corvette has made this nice looking Z06 called the Carbon. Could it be displayed at Pebble Beach?









The show will start on August 11 2010 and finish August 15 2010.

Corvette C6.BlackforceOne by LOMA Performance

Corvette has produced the C6, but LOMA Performance has tuned it up and named it the Corvette C6.BlackforceOne. Interesting name alright. The funny thing is that the car is not really a C6, it's a normal Corvette. Anyway, LOMA put a bi-turbo engine under the rear hood, and cranked performance up a notch. 100 km/h come sin an impressive 3.4. seconds, and tops peed is limited to above 330 km/h. Michelin Sport Cup tyres in dimensions 275/30R19 and 335/25R20 are mounted on 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch black OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels. A carbon fibre/ceramic brake unit from Mov’it is available on request. The car was revealed yesterday at the Essen MotorShow and will sell for 190,000 euros. The interior is made of beautiful Alcantara leather, but besides that, you can choose from 300 different types of leather! And if we want to talk about the exterior, I've got my mouth full! Only three words: beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.
