2014 Audi R8

The next Audi R8 supercar will feature a new, lightweight and more rigid structure, incorporating carbon fibre and aluminium into its chassis construction.

A variation of the new motor is featured in the new Audi S6 and Audi S8, and could potentially produce upwards of 400kW.

Combining both carbon fiber and aluminum seems like a good compromise, plus using both materials in the car’s construction will likely reduce the weight of the R8′s skeleton by some 45 lbs.

Weight savings are also planned for the car’s suspension, driveline and bodywork, as Audi seeks to make the next R8 the lightest sports car in the segment.

According to reports quoting Audi's chief engineer Michael Dick, the 2014 R8 will undercut the current model's weight by some 100 kilograms (220 lbs), while increasing torsional rigidity by 30%.

That last bit may benefit from the advanced carbon construction methods being developed by sister-company Lamborghini, which Audi owes to a large degree for the existence of the Audi R8 altogether.

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.
