BASED ON A NEW ratings methodology drafted by the US Environmental Protection Agency, GM’s 2010 Chevrolet Volt petrol-electric hybrid will achieve 230 miles per gallon (around 1.2 l/100km) in regular city driving.
Tests for the Volt’s combined city and highway driving are still underway. GM CEO Fritz Henderson said the company is expecting better than 100mpg [...]
THE VE COMMODORE will continue to be exported to the US despite reports of its impending demise, according to former General Motors Vice President of Global Product Development, Bob Lutz.
(After announcing his retirement in February this year, Lutz is to return to the ‘New GM’ as a product Czar - a role described in [...]
Chevrolet Volt Vehicle Chief Engineer Andrew Farah takes the first pre-production Chevrolet Volt for a drive in Warren, Michigan.
A WEEK AHEAD of schedule, GM’s Chevrolet Volt hybrid has hit the road, in pre-production form, ahead of its market debut around November next year.
While all of the previous sights of the Volt have been mockups and [...]
Above: The 2009 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
IN WHAT MUST BRING a wave of relief for GM US car dealers, Chevrolet has unveiled details and pricing for the company’s entry-level hero car, the updated 2010 Corvette Z06.
Producing a commanding 377kW from its 7.0 litre LS7 V8, top power comes on at 6300rpm, while the 640Nm of [...]
THE LAST TIME we heard that the ragtop version of the fan-favourite Chevrolet Camaro was on track for a 2011 showroom debut, there appeared to be some uncertainty around the traps as to just how seriously we could all take that claim.
Now, General Motors US spokesperson Terry Rhadigan has confirmed that the Holden-engineered Camaro [...]
New GM CEO Fritz Henderson has declared that Chevrolet, in the next two years, will have repositioned itself as a competitive, top-quality brand.
Speaking with US mag AutoWeek, Henderson said he believes fresh new Chevy models like the Cruze (to be sold locally as the Holden Cruze) and the Spark will help the brand grow its [...]
The hard times at GM may appear to have no end in sight, but recent comments from GM’s global product chief, Tom Stephens, indicate that the storm clouds overhead haven’t changed the company’s plans for the Volt.
Talking to journalists at a University of Michigan event, Stephens was quoted as saying that ‘at this point in [...]
Lingenfelter is well known for taking already muscled-up rides and pumping them with steroids to create absolute monsters.
Chevrolet’s new Camaro is the latest to receive the full Lingenfelter treatment, with the tuner releasing details on a range of engine upgrade packages.
An all-new and extremely aggressive body kit is also in the works.
Kicking off the engine [...]
While recent rumblings suggest Pontiac’s now-orphaned G8 could return to US shores as a Chevy-badged police car, these renderings show that the G8’s two-door cousin the Chevrolet Camaro would make an even cooler cruiser.
Of course, these third-party renderings are entirely speculative and there’s no suggestion from GM that the Camaro will see service with law [...]
Sure, General Motors is going through some tough times (undisputed master of understatement right here), but if the General doesn’t deliver a Z28 version of the new Camaro sometime soon, it’s not going to have any buyers left – they’ll have all bought Hennessy’s new Camaro HPE550.
While Hennessy’s Camaro HPE700 makes a goodly 525kW (700hp), [...]
n2a Motors is at it again turning regular old Chevrolet Corvettes into something a bit more special. n2a you may remember was behind the Atheros Coupe and Roadster which were also Corvette-based.
This time around, n2a is working on a retro-styled Stinger Corvette which makes use of design elements from the 1963, ‘65, and ‘67 Corvettes.
The [...]
To help celebrate the efforts of the people that made the all-new Camaro a reality, GM has put together this short video of Camaro #001 making its way along the heavily-automated production and assembly line.
The first car off the line was a black Camaro SS with red leather interior. Rick Hendrick, CEO of Hendrick Motor Sports, [...]
If you were holding out on buying a Camaro until the convertible or Camaro Z28 models were upon us (well, upon the US market), you may as well go out and buy the regular hardtop after all, because those two specials aren’t coming.
In what is a further sign of the depth of the troubles afflicting car [...]
After having spent an undoubtedly gruelling two weeks with President Obama’s automotive task force - most of it, most certainly, on ‘the rack’ - GM and Chrysler will now play host on home turf in Detroit.
The US Government task force has been sent to Detroit to get a closer, on-the-job look at the inner workings of America’s struggling giant [...]
If Optimus Prime was looking to General Motors to fund his GM-heavy Autobot army in the upcoming Transformers sequel, he’s got another think coming.
The General (Motors, not Optimus) has announced it will cut a further US$800 million (a cool $1.26b in Aussie dollars) from its advertising budget – an extra US$200m on top of the [...]
Holden took advantage of the spotlight during its presentation at the Melbourne International Motor Show, revealing the first images of the Volt as it is likely to appear when it hits Aussie roads.
Essentially a rebadged, right-hand-drive version of the now well-known Chevy Volt, the Holden Volt will offer the same 64 kilometre range as its [...]
Opel first offered the world a glimpse of its version of the Chevrolet Volt back in late January, and now the first official image of the Opel Ampera is online.
Going by this one image, it looks as though the main difference between the two cars will be the unique Opel face.
Two deep, vertical gouges streak [...]
It might not be as funky as its three-door concept sibling, the Chevrolet Beat, but the Chevy Spark is definitely one of the coolest concept-to-production evolutions going around.
Maintaining most of the Beat’s funky styling cues and the Jazz-like headlights, the Spark gets an extra pair of doors at the rear, with the handle hidden nicely [...]
GM’s hallowed small-block V8 has found its way into a number of vehicles over the years. Up until now though, a European-market Chevy (nee Daewoo) Matiz wasn’t one of them.
Short of wheelbase and with an engine bay the size of a coin purse, the diminutive Matiz doesn’t lend itself well to engine swaps. Still, that [...]
If Guinness holds a record for “Longest Period Between Production Model Reveal And Actual Release To Market”, The 2010 Chevy Camaro would probably fly-kick the crown right off the head of whichever car holds it right now.
Never mind that though, because US tuning house Hennessey Performance Engineering has got its hands on a Camaro or [...]
