2019 New Cars

Alex Misoyannis • Chevrolet has confirmed the eighth-generation C8 Corvette, set for a Friday reveal, will launch in ‘Stingray’ guise. The moniker was first used on the second-generation Corvette in 1963, before being dropped at the end of 1976. It made a return in 2014 to denote the entry-level variant of the C7 Corvette – the same role it'll fill within the new C8 range.

Strict measures by the Department of Agriculture to stop stink bugs from destroying Australian plants and crops are putting the brakes on new car sales because cargo ships are being turned around or fumigated offshore. Thousands of new motor vehicles across most brands shipped from the northern hemisphere have been affected, from expensive Mercedes-Benz sports cars to cheap Chinese utes.

Aston Martin has revealed the final design of the limited-edition DBS GT Zagato, ahead of its scheduled production run next year. Just 19 examples of the DBS GT Zagato will be produced, paired with the DB4 GT Zagato Continuation to complete the DBZ Centenary Collection. Prices started at £6 million ($10.79m) for the set, but all 19 collections have reportedly been accounted for, so you’ve already missed out if you haven’t ordered one.
