2012 Chevrolet Orlando


Chevrolet Orlando's design - part MPV, part crossover - breaks the rules of a historically conservative segment; it makes a statement and stands out from the crowd.

Based on the show car concept first seen in 2008, the Chevrolet Orlando is nevertheless a true family car for the times, combining 7-seater practicality, interior flexibility and generous load space.

The wheel arches enhance a 'body in, wheel out' appearance while at the same time ensuring Chevrolet Orlando keeps its agile, sporting stance.

Should a collision occur, Orlando's occupants will be protected by six airbags - twin front, side and curtain.

Maximum speed of the Chevrolet Orlando for the diesel engine with 130 hp is 180kph and with 163 hp is 195kph.

The Chevrolet Orlando's well proven set up utilizes McPherson struts for the front suspension and compound crank axle for the rear.

Chevrolet Orlando's chassis and body structure have also been engineered with high reserves of safety as a key consideration.

At the front of the vehicle, the design team has created a face for Orlando, which is bold and unmistakably new Chevrolet, with a dual-port grille split with the body color divide and a large Chevrolet bow-tie positioned proudly in the center.

"Chevrolet Orlando's front fascia is a key feature and it evolves Chevrolet's global identity and gives the car showroom appeal," says Taewan Kim.

At the rear, the Orlando has a number of features that showcase Chevrolet's recent design, including the rear tail lamps which are evolutions from split function lamps. The center mounted fog lamp, which sits in the rear bumper section, is unique to Chevrolet Orlando.

The Orlando is the latest Chevrolet to use the V-shaped motif inside the steering wheel, which is on all but the base level trim models, features audio and infotainment controls.
Chevrolet Orlando drivers will appreciate the well thought out ergonomics.

The middle section of Chevrolet Orlando's floorpan is fitted with a high strength sub frame to which the second seating bench is fitted and which elevates it by over 4cm (41mm) mm above the seating line of the driver and passenger. Even with the third row of seats in place, the

Orlando maintains a useful 89 liters of available space.
Once all the Chevrolet Orlando occupants are safely in their seats, they benefit from interior leg and head space which is highly competitive against other vehicles in the sector.

Leg room for the front passenger and driver is generous at 1034mm while for second row passengers leg room of 917mm puts Orlando among the most spacious in class.

Chevrolet Orlando owners will be pleasantly surprised by a 'secret' compartment behind the front fascia of the audio and within easy reach of the both the driver and passenger.

While the suspension set-up for Chevrolet Orlando is essentially conventional, it features some clever detailing to the enhance ride and handling. Orlando's space-saving layout of the rear axle contributes to a lower center of gravity.

Chevrolet Orlando's chassis and braking system have also been engineered with high reserves of safety as a key consideration. The rear hand brake (or parking brake) is cable driven.

Anti-lock braking (ABS) on the Orlando is a four wheel system that uses input from wheel speed sensors to regulate individual braking at each wheel to reduce stopping distances to a minimum, while maintaining stability and steering control under heavy braking. The Orlando's stopping power under emergency braking is further enhanced with hydraulic brake assist (HBA).

Electronic Stability Control (ESC), together with TCS, uses both the ABS and TCS functions to provide another level of active safety as part of the standard Chevrolet Orlando chassis.

Starting with Chevrolet Orlando's body shell, the body frame integral (BFI) structure whereby the upper body and chassis frame are engineered as a single component ensures high levels of stiffness.

Orlando's extensive list of standard equipment includes a comprehensive array of passive safety features inside the vehicle.

The Chevrolet Orlando's front-row seatbelts are fitted with force limiters and pretensioners as well as height adjustment. All seven seats of the Orlando are fitted with head restraints to help prevent whiplash in the case of a rear shunt.

Two steel anchors between the rear seat back and seat cushion, and a further top tether which is fitted to seat back means child seats can be installed very securely.

Anti-lock braking (ABS), traction control (TCS), electronic brake force distribution (EBD), hydraulic brake assist (HBA) and electronic stability control (ESC) are standard on all cars in the range and work in tandem to give Orlando's chassis high reserves of safety.

At launch, Chevrolet Orlando customers will have a choice of three engines, one gasoline and two diesels. Specific engine power per liter is 78.3. Orlando's maximum speed with the gasoline engine is 185kph with a 0 to 100kph time of 11.6 seconds when coupled with the standard 5-speed manual transmission.

Chevrolet Orlando's advanced common rail injection system; peak firing pressure within the combustion chamber is 180 bar pressure resulting in improved fuel economy and lower emissions.

For the standard output engine, both engine power and torque are 130 hp at 3800rpm and 315Nm at 2000rpm.

Mated to the standard 6-speed manual gearbox, performance figures for the Orlando with either version of the diesel engines are impressive.

The 1.8-liter gasoline engine is fitted with a 5-speed manual transmission while both of the diesel engines have a six-speed box.

2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06


Chevrolet Corvette Z06, in standard form is an one of a kind car with great performances, but Hennessey Performance team thought that can improve and they did.

The new pack include Hennessey’s own premium floormats, a serial-numbered dash with matching engine plaques, and exterior badging that features tags like “Hennessey” and “HPE1000″ added on certain parts of the car.

Chevrolet, founded by a racing pioneer 100 years ago, celebrates its performance heritage with the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition, which features a sleek black color scheme, unique design elements and Corvette's trademark sports car technology.

The special package was inspired by Chevrolet's racing-bred foundation, which continues with Corvette's international racing excellence and production sports car prominence.

The Chevrolet Corvette Centennial Edition expresses racing heritage, but does so with a sleek, modern, even sinister-looking appearance.

The Centennial Edition package comes exclusively in Carbon Flash Metallic, with satin-black graphics and unique Centennial Satin Black wheels and red brake calipers.

The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition also features special badges that signify Chevrolet's racing history. The Chevrolet Centennial Edition will be available on all Corvette models via order code ZLC.

The 2011 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 HPE1000, as the name suggest, packs an insane 1,000 horsepower courtesy of its twin-turbo LSX upgrade.

The Centennial Edition package comes exclusively in Carbon Flash Metallic, with satin black graphics and unique Centennial Satin Black wheels and red brake calipers.

Magnetic Selective Ride Control, the world’s fastest reacting suspension and a technology advance initiated by Corvette, is including on all Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition models.

The Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Centennial Edition also features special badges that shows the history of Chevrolet’s racing.

The Chevrolet Centennial Edition will be available on all Corvette models ZLC order through code.

More Grip Inside
With distinct lateral and shoulder bolsters, the seats should greatly help drivers and passengers enjoy the Corvette’s formidable performance without bouncing between armrest and center console.

Additional interior touch-ups include tweaks to the steering-wheel trim and additional padding on the center console and armrest areas. Fortunately, additional grip it will get, in the form of newly available Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Zero Pressure tires.

They will be available as part of the Z07 handling package for the Z06, and also for the ZR1 as part of its new PDE performance package.


Also new to the
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is Performance Traction Management, which, in a nutshell, is multiple, driver-selectable stability control programs and launch control.

2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible


General Motors has announced that the world's most powerful production droptop* – the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible – will officially debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

The improvements include things like a front X brace and rear V brace, a transmission support reinforcement brace, underbody tunnel brace and tower-to-tower brace under the hood.

The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 convertible’s name says it all. Like the coupe, the convertible will come with a Magnetic Ride Control electronic dampening system and launch control. Both coupe and convertible variants of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will launch early in 2012.

Chevrolet announced the brand's most-powerful convertible ever - the 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible - will debut at the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show.

The 2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible will be one of the most powerful and most capable, convertibles available at any price," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible's power is complemented by advanced powertrain and chassis technologies designed to deliver exceptional performance on the road or track. The suspension of the ZL1 convertible uses the third-generation of Magnetic Ride.

The
2013 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Convertible will also offer Performance Traction Management as standard equipment, which is exclusive to General Motors.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette


According to Inside Line, a "trusted source" has confirmed the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette (C7) will offer a seven-speed manual transmission.

Power will likely total 440hp, an improvement over the 436 horsepower available currently in the Corvette C6, but with improved fuel economy due to the new engine’s smaller size and advanced features.

First things first: The car you see here is not the next Corvette. It is a concept car called the Stingray; it was built by General Motors in 2009. Turns out the magazine hit the Woodward Dream Cruise in August and went digging for new-Corvette dirt. The Pop Mech piece is here.

Platform code: Y1XX. Production start: Summer 2013. Model year: 2014.
The seventh-generation Corvette is built around a platform coded internally as Y1XX and will initially be sold as a 2014 model-year car.

Square taillights are rumored, as are Ferrari-style quarter windows a la the second-generation (C2) Corvette. The seats and interior in the current Corvette need work. Everything feels nice, but certainly not expensive-sports-car nice. Expect that to change, with the car's interior finally competitive with offerings from Europe.

Drivetrain: Economical, fun.
The '14 Corvette should be the first car to use the fifth-generation, all-new Chevrolet small-block V8 engines. Fun stuff.)

Sure, every Corvette is a flawed car, and every new 'Vette is better than the last.
