Spy shots recently posted by GMAuthority.com seem to confirm that the new 2022 Corvette z06 will be available as a coupe and convertible. It was speculated that the 2022 Z06 would be returning to what many saw as it's roots by being an all out track machine, taking inspiration from previous generations of the Z06. However, as seen from these new photos, it appears that there is also a C8 Z06 Convertible prototype being tested on public roads. For more information and more photos, visit GMauthority.com .
Another Labor Day weekend has come and gone, and for car lovers in the Tri-State Area, that means one thing: the Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park! Every year, the Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park is the place for car lovers to show off their classic rides and see other vintage vehicles. Whether you go there to race, to show off your vehicle at the Concours d’Elegance, or simply to see some fantastic cars in action, you’re sure to have a great time! We’re proud to report that this year’s Historic Festival, the 37th annual one, was just as good as in previous years. Besides the usual offerings – three days of vintage car racing, a Concours d’Elegance and Gathering of the Marques, and plenty of concessions and shopping to enjoy – this year also brought some new attractions to the event. Event organizers held a special tribute to the Formula Ford, which, if you know your racing history, you’ll recognize as the vehicle that helped many Formula 1 and Indy Car drivers start their engines (and their careers). This year’s Saturday Night Dinner and a Panel celebrated the Formula Ford’s 50th anniversary. There was also a special celebration of the Morgan, and this year’s honored guest was Luigi Chinetti Junior. We know we had a grand time at this year’s Historic Festival at Lime Rock Park, and we hope you did, too! We can’t think of a better way to close out the summer. Check out their Facebook albums to relive the memories and connect with other fans. End of Summer Thoughts Now that another Labor Day weekend is behind us, it’s time to look ahead to fall and winter.

On July 18th, Chevrolet revealed the eighth generation of Corvettes to the world. The car world has been buzzing about it ever since. We’ve rounded up some need-to-know facts about this newest addition to the Corvette family tree. To learn more, keep reading! What’s New: • The Engine: The new Corvette is the first in the series to be mid-engined, putting it in the same company as the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and Ford GT. And there have been plenty of other upgrades made along the way. • The Transmission: For the first time since 1955, the new Corvette will be automatic-only. While it will be possible to manually control the 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, the actual shift changes won’t be mechanical. It’s all computers from here on out. • The Suspension: After seven generations with leaf springs, the C8 has upgraded to a coil-spring suspension. • The Styling: Moving the engine from under the hood to behind the front seat means that the style of the Corvette will have to change. But don’t worry, there will still be plenty of classic Corvette touches, like the peaked front fenders and the nose’s center spear. What You Need to Know: • Availability: The vehicle will be going into production later this year, and it should be available for sale soon after production starts. • Price: Pricing details haven’t been released yet, but the vehicle should start under $60,000 for the basic package. More bells and whistles will mean a higher price. • 0 to 60: It’s tough to say for certain, since the vehicle isn’t available yet, but Chevrolet claims that the vehicle could get up to 60 in 3.0 seconds (with the Z51 performance package).
