2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 is The Most Powerful Corvette Ever

It has been a long time since we saw the legendary ZR1 nameplate appear on a Corvette with the last model being based on the C7 Vette. That model was the last front-engined version made before GM and Chevrolet chose to make the C8 version a mid-engined offering a few years ago. At the time, Chevrolet said that making it a mid-engine model allowed the brand to extract higher levels of performance from the car and the 2025 Corvette ZR1 is perhaps the most potent expression of this mantra yet. The model breaks new ground for the moniker and raises …

2015 Cadillac Escalade ChopTop Renderings

Fantasy ChopTop Renders – 2015 Cadillac Escalade Feeling Lowww!

Big drama in development work on the site today. The only respite for this author – to stay busy and resist panicking as all images went down? Making more custom images, oddly enough. A chop-top conversion is one of the hardest to handle with OEM quality. A widebody is almost exclusively an exterior upgrade, but a chopped roofline requires some serious changes.

Not exactly something you can eyeball along the way, or carbon-fiber your way out of CAD-CAM studies in advance. But for visual impact, a …

Speculative Renderings – Future Corvette Z51 Speedster and Z06 Spyder

INTRODUCTORY CAVEAT: I hope these do not irk General Motors too much. They are all labeled as ‘speculative renderings’ — in case the dismal quality of these Photo”Chops” did not make that clear already to everyone. It is harder than it seems to achieve anything like photo-real results. To avoid any confusion among buyers is my goal in labeling everything as renders, but also to explore these ideas visually. A separate (and amazing!) article coming in a few hours will be a thorough, real-life buyers guide to the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible’s trims, wheels, colors and options later this afternoon. …
