Chevrolet Corvette

EXCLUSIVE The Chevrolet Camaro muscle car could replace the Holden Commodore on the racetrack and go head-to-head with the Ford Mustang as early as next year's V8 Supercar championship according to a secret proposal seen by CarAdvice. The rollout of the local racing program for the American Camaro is part of a confidential plan to establish a new niche brand called General Motors Specialty Vehicles (GMSV).

GM has confirmed what we’d already been expecting: the 40-day United Auto Workers strike has indeed delayed the start of production for the new Chevrolet C8 Corvette. Motor Authority reports production will start in February 2020 at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly instead of this December. According to the Chevrolet website, the first deliveries to customers will take place in “early 2020”.

The new C8-series Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has been eagerly awaited. Alas, it looks like it may have to be eagerly awaited for a while longer. Members of the United Auto Workers (UAW) who work for General Motors are in the fourth week of a strike, and the Detroit Free Press reports this will affect production of the much-anticipated, mid-engine C8 Corvette.

Holden has been delivered a massive windfall at a critical time in its sales recovery plan, with confirmation today it will sell the iconic Chevrolet Corvette sports car from as early as next year.

Chevrolet has unveiled the 2020 C8 Corvette’s steering wheel, ahead of the car’s full debut on Friday. Only a single image was released by the American carmaker, but there are a number of details that can be gleaned. The wheel is a two-spoke unit – a rare sight among cars today – with a squared-off design Chevrolet claims “enhances visibility and comfort”.
