CORVETTE ZO6 Next year, for 2022, should come the first performance edition of the C8. That car will reportedly have a 5.5-liter naturally-aspirated V8 pumping out something in the range of 620 horsepower with about 480 lb-ft, with Motortrend pointing out that the engine will likely be a tuned-up version of the C8.R racecar. This will be less power than the previous C7 Z06 but that needed a supercharger to extract that many horses. The source apparently said that Chevy is directly trying to compete with the Ferrari 458 Speciale, and it seems like a worthy competitor. With optional carbon fiber wheels like the Shelby GT500, this Corvette will easily be over $100,000. CORVETTE ZR1 Always the highest-performance Corvette, the ZR1 should come out for 2023 if the source is to be believed. The 5.5-liter V8 that will go into the ZO6 will have two turbochargers bringing power potentially as high as 850 horsepower. Torque figures will also be high. As this is further in the pipeline, the source had less to say about this, but it will definitely cost even more than the ZO6. CORVETTE PHEV As GEM moves to reducing carbon output, hybrid and electric versions of its performance cars are inevitable. The E-Ray should come out along with the ZR1 for 2023. Even if it's a hybrid, this won't sacrifice performance. Two front motors will probably complement that 5.5-liter V8 making it AWD. Unfortunately, that'll compromise carrying capacity, with those front motors likely taking the space of the front trunk. However, it could also be a detuned version of the current LT1 engine from the stingray as well. With the combination of new technology and engines, this should cost over $100,000. CORVETTE E-RAY 2024 should be a step further in the emissions-free direction. GM has promised to be emissions-free by 2035 and the Corvette as it is presents a block in the chain. So an electric C8 is a necessity, and that will come borrowing the technology from the PHEV Corvette. That means keeping the front motors and supplementing them with more motors for the rear wheels. Using those pieces should also keep the price down, although it certainly won't be inexpensive. CORVETTE ZORA
What happens, though, when you use all the power of the conventional combustion engines and the new electric motors together in a Corvette? Well, then you get the Zora with 1000-horsepower, and very possibly even more than that. Chevrolet has not unveiled much about the car, although it is in the pipeline and should come around 2025. With using parts from other Corvettes, the cost should be kept down, and it might be possible to get over a thousand horsepower for about $150,000.

Stopping the car are 14.0-inch front brakes and 12.7-inch rear brakes, up one inch from the outgoing IS 350 performance sedan. The included Lexus Safety System+ 2.5 adds on pedestrian detection, emergency steering assist, automatic high beams, and more. The car gets a more aggressive look with a bulge on the hood. The fenders are also wider to fit 19-inch Enkei 10-spoke wheels. Inside gets more luxurious and sporty as well, with F Sport badges throughout. A heated steering wheel is standard equipment in addition to separate pedals for the car. Pricing and final details will be announced closer to its launch this fall.
Ford itself has noticed its customers using the trucks for this purpose, and it's asked all Texas Ford dealers to loan trucks with this package to customers that don't have electricity. To get those trucks, 415 in total, out of dealer lots, Ford has turned on the incentives and is offering dealers $600 more than the standard incentive to add a vehicle to the loaner fleet. And these vehicles will still be able to be sold during the March Truck Month promotion. In a letter to dealers, Ford wrote that "our Texas communities need all the support they can get right now. You can make a significant difference in our community by providing assistance during these very tough times.” With 415 trucks, it's not the biggest contribution, but it's a great gesture that will be very helpful for those who do get the trucks.
The car is reinforced as well to ensure it all holds up to its impressive BR6 bulletproof rating at the highest spec. The windows and sunroof are heavily reinforced and the tires are run-flat. The suspension is also modified to handle the load. If you want more protection, you can add air filtration, night vision, and smokescreens from the options list. Plus, knowing its buyer, Inkas will also offer a siren and emergency lights for any police force interested in a luxury bulletproof SUV. Even space isn't sacrificed, and the car can hold seven comfortably with three rows. Cost isn't revealed for the car, although the typical buyer probably isn't most concerned about that. The X7 in that specification probably costs over a hundred thousand dollars before Inkas gets their hands on it, so it certainly costs more than that following the armored touches.
His home security camera captured the whole thing. And he was ultimately able to pick up his father, noting that he was driving very carefully, even if he parked the truck at the bottom of the hill and walked her back home.
This just serves as a reminder for Americans to be careful as winter weather strikes throughout the country. While this story ended well, losing control on the ice usually ends up leading to more damage.
Unfortunately for those hopeful to see the lion badge on US roads again, Peugeot and its PSA Group don't have that presence. The Chrysler Group, of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will continue to focus on their market, leaving PSA out. Stellantis though will become a powerhouse auto group with major sellers throughout the globe. In fact, the US market may be so oversaturated for Stellantis that the group may kill off the Chrysler brand itself. The AP reports that "analysts say the Chrysler brand could be in jeopardy in the U.S., where it has only two models, the aging 300 sedan and the Pacifica minivan, [and] U.S. sales of the brand were off 19% through October. "
Along with his two new rides, he also purchased real estate and a Rolex, spending thousands more at nightclubs before his arrest. That arrest was on wire fraud, bank fraud, unlawful monetary transactions, and making false statements.
The shop, the assets, and the charter were all sold to an undisclosed owner. LFR wants the new owners to make their own announcement at their prerogative. The team will continue racing the 95 car with Christopher Bell until the end of this year. What will happen with Bell is up in the air, especially considering Gibbs reportedly has its eyes on him.
Plus, with earnings adjusted before tax, the company broke even. The company highlighted that achievement in the face of losing 8 of the 13 weeks of quarterly production. So right now the primary concern is "working all avenues to increase U.S. dealer stocks," with nearly all plants back to pre-pandemic production levels. As this all happens, GM is continuing "significant progress" on cost saving initiatives aimed at minimizing further losses. This long-lasting project has, reportedly, saved the company billions in the last several years.
New products, which will offer "high quality, top value, [and] leading-edge technology" will begin to debut in winter of 2020. First to come will be a revised Outlander PHEV, followed by updating the low-cost Mirage, and finally an all-new Outlander generation will be unveiled mid-2021. Mitsubishi hopes that they can finally find favor with American buyers again, hoping to offer features they want in a sellable look. They can look to fellow import brands, like Kia with the best-selling Telluride, for an example.
