Take a quick look at the ad for this Canadian Corvette and it looks like a pretty clean example of a C5. You might even look at the year in the ad and assume it's just the usual classified typo, but then you see the line that bisects the front fender. That ain't right. Wait a second, that hatch...

General Motors is stopping production of the Chevrolet Corvette for the rest of the week after Mexican suppliers once again found themselves having to contend with the pandemic. While Johnson & Johnson's Janssen unit has been given the go ahead to begin late stage trials for its coronavirus...

If you're hoping to watch a base (or near enough) Corvette outperform a top-of-the-line Mustang, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. 760 hp and the full might of Ford's pony car division do, in fact, make a pretty quick car. But it's a testament to Chevy's engineers that the Corvette can hang...

Last week, we told you a parts shortage had halted production of the Chevrolet Corvette C8. Now the lines are rolling again. The parts-shortage shutdown followed production shutdowns due to a UAW strike and the coronavirus pandemic. Reports now indicate that 800-850 units of Chevy's flagship...

A sales member at a Canadian Chevrolet dealership has taken to YouTube to tell customers that production at Bowling Green is shutting down. The shut down will stop the flow of C8 Corvettes and comes as a result of parts shortages, according to the video embedded below. The sales member, Morgan...

Automakers are notoriously tight-lipped about future products, keeping the new models secret until the appropriate time. And then along comes former vice president and current Democratic nominee for president Joe Biden, a man who is known for the occasional gaffe. He was speaking in Warren...

It's time for another Retro Review from MotorWeek and this time the featured car is the 1989 Corvette L98, which doesn't feel quite as retro as you might expect. As MotorWeek put it, this was the Corvette to get to soften the blow of missing out on the ZR1. Powered by the 5.7-liter V8, the L98...

Production of the C8 Corvette will accelerate thanks to a second shift on the line. With that, customers may start receiving their Corvettes sooner than expected. The second shift started on August 31, according to reports, and has, predictably, sped up production. Chevrolet was building 95...

A new report, backed up by GM, claims the Corvette's engineering team will set up shop in the General's exhaust-free autonomous and electric vehicles program come September. Citing an internal source, corvetteforum.com revealed Thursday that the Corvette Engineering team will be moved from the...

Owners of the newly mid-engined Chevrolet Corvette might notice a new message greeting them this week, now that a solution to a recent recall concerning the 2020 C8 'Vette's "frunk" appears to be underway. C8 owners have complained of their front-end trunk's (frunk's) lid opening while on the...

Video footage of a camouflaged C8 Corvette has been released by ***********.com showing what sounds like a flat-plane crank V8 revving. The video shows a car on the street, so it's hard to know exactly what it has under the hood, but rumors have long persisted that a higher-performance 'Vette...

Love the mid-engined Corvette but can't really afford it? Good news, you may be able to get one for the low, low price of $200. That's because the National Corvette Museum is raffling it off. The Corvette in question is the 1,750,000th Corvette ever produced and pays tribute to the first, being...

The death of Holden has left Australians unsure as to how exactly GM vehicles will be sold, if at all. But there's good news for those wallaby-loving fans of tire smoke, the C8 Corvette will be sold in Australia. Although Holden had confirmed that the C8 would be making its way down under, GM's...

Mark Reuss will get another chance to set the pace in a Corvette. But this time it won't be at Belle Isle. The GM president will take the C8 around the brickyard for the Indy 500. Endowed with the Z51 package and finished in Torch Red with Carbon Flash exterior accents. "It's truly an honor to...

When is a continuation car not a continuation? Difficult to say, really, but I'm not sure this Corvette counts. It's still gorgeous and interesting, though. The trick to a legitimate continuation car, I think, is restraint. You see, like those Astons and Bentleys that use factory blueprints...

In a tweet published on August 2, the official Corvette Racing account released an image of three racing Corvettes ahead of this weekend's Road America IMSA championship race. One of them may preview a heretofore unseen graphics package. The Stingray R package was leaked in a report based on...

This is as much a clerical update as it is a scoop but since the concepts of electricity and Corvette in such close proximity, it felt worth mentioning. GM has refiled to trademark the name E-Ray with the US Patent and Trademark Office. The name, about which we have no official details, but...

If the shape and name are familiar to you, it's no mistake. This Iso Rivolta GTZ is a modern take on the Iso Rivolta A3 from 1963. And Zagato, whose coach building expertise has been entrusted with this project, has done well. Based, according to the company, on the race car from the early 60s...

Chevy's engineers are very clever. And while we're not suggesting that they're infallible, it's important to consider the reasoning behind their decisions before criticizing it. That's kind of the tack Jason Fenske takes in his latest Engineering Explained video on the so-called flaws of the C8...
