Former Formula One pilot and now NASCAR driver Mika Salo has taken delivery of this Camaro Motorsport Camaro V8 Supercharged. The Finn is a Camaro fan who owns a classic 1969 Camaro with supercharger and over 735kW (1,000hp) under its belt. His new 6.2-litre V8 has slightly less at 441kW (600hp) and 747Nm but should nonetheless prove explosive.

The Big Block. Rat Motor. Call it what you will, we can now officially add a final epitaph to the long-running engine’s gravestone: R.I.P. The final L18 big block rolled down the assembly line at General Motors’ Tonawanda plant in New York last week, and that engine was signed by all the workers at the plant and is on its way to the GM Heritage Center in Sterling Heights, Michigan.

Chevrolet’s European arm is expanding its German lineup with the introduction of three special edition packages for the Aveo supermini, Cruze sedan and Captiva SUV.

Chevrolet delivers a futuristic vision of technology and design with the 50th Anniversary Corvette Stingray Concept. A version of the model was first shown at the 2009 Chicago Auto Show and stars as “Sideswipe” in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The Corvette Stingray Concept represents both the iconic legacy and an exciting future for Corvette.

The Corvette Stingray Concept was developed as an internal design challenge to combine classic Corvette cues with surprisingly high-tech features, modern materials, and a striking new appearance. The car is well-appointed with a clamshell hood, scissor-style doors, ergonomic seats, rear-view camera with night vision enhancement, and a high performance hybrid drive. Interactive touch controls allow the driver to customize the power and efficiency of his or her ride and share it with friends via the in-car camera system and advanced telemetrics.

Chevrolet has always stood for value, and the Chevrolet Cruze delivers on that promise like never before. Moving the benchmark a notch higher, the new Cruze redefines the value proposition with its class leading quality, superior design and spacious styling, both inside and out.
