The eighth-generation Chevrolet Corvette will be a radical departure from all of its predecessors, especially under the skin where everything is all new. Sources have told Muscle Cars and Trucks the new Corvette will use a new encrypted electronic control unit (ECU).

Genovation Cars will use CES 2018 to unveil the GXE, an all-electric Corvette capable of topping 350km/h. So, how does the GXE deliver that monstrous top speed?

A mid-engined Holden SS V ute to mark the end of production? We wish. What you see here is, according to US publication Car and Driver, an early prototype of a mid-engined Corvette C8 rumoured to be in the pipeline for the US brand's 2017 model year. The (speculated) early Corvette C8 prototype uses the 5040mm long, 1899mm wide body of the Holden Commodore SS V Ute, which appears to be in VE Series II guise.

A one-off Greek supercar dubbed the Korres Project 4 is set to be unleashed at a motorsport event in its homeland this weekend. Created by architect and designer Dimitris Korres, the Project 4 borrows its 377kW/637Nm 7.0-litre 'LS7' V8 from the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, which catapults the low-slung sports car's 1600kg mass from 0-100km/h in 3.8 seconds and on to a top speed of 300km/h.
