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.

The Ferrari 812 GTS has been revealed 50 years after the debut of the last 'Spider' in the Ferrari range powered by a front-mounted V12. The open air version of the modestly named 812 Superfast was unveiled on the eve of the Frankfurt motor show in front of buyers from around the world who travelled to Maranello to celebrate the brand’s 90th anniversary.

Nissan Australia has released pricing and specifications for the mildly tweaked 2020 GT-R range, including the 50th Anniversary Edition, on sale now. Based on the Premium Luxury grade, the 50th Anniversary (pictured) commands a $9,500 premium ($209,300 plus on-road costs) over the model on which it's based, and adds the requisite exterior badging as well as 50th Anniversary logos inside on the seats, centre console, tachometer and sill plates.

BAC has made its single-seat Mono supercar even lighter, and even more powerful, using the Goodwood Festival of Speed to unveil the Mono R. Although it has a similarly unique design to the original Mono, the R wads into battle weighing 555kg, 25kg less than before. That doesn't sound like much, but it's just under five per cent of the car's total weight.
