Hyundai working on Corvette Z06 rival

Hyundai/Corvette Z06

The automotive industry has been sprinkled with the number of supercars rather unexpected countries in recent months. Samples from Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Poland and even clap, to give the major manufacturers of supercars a run for its money. Now, this is a rumor that we may be adding to the mix Hyundai as well. South Korean automaker is rumored to work on a new supercar, which would take the model as a Corvette Z06, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911.

If produced, the new model can be sporty coupe based on the new all-aluminum company Tao 5.0-liter engine V8. The choice for transmission is still in the air, but because of the excessive weight of the car would be rear-wheel-drive model. Since it is placed above the Genesis R-Spec Coupe, expect that the new supercar to deliver more than 429 hp and 376 lb-ft of torque.

Hyundai, the new supercar will deliver the same options as a luxury sedan as Equus, including manual IPad owners and pick-ups and services, when the car needs service.

Of course, all this is only speculation at this time. Asked about the future supercar, Hyundai CEO John Krafcik said that there is a supercar in the works. In fact, he said, "No, no," and called the rumors "obscene nonsense." Anyone remember how many cars were born from a direct denial?

No future for the mid-engine Corvette

With GM facing well-publicized challenges -- along with just about everyone else who needs a little thing called money -- certain high-profile and expensive programs are crowding up on the back burner. Even America's sports car, the Corvette, is not exempt, with CAFE regulations clouding the view inside the 'Vette Nation's crystal ball. Motor Trend, commenting on the C7 Corvette's delayed arrival, has said that the new coupe won't appear until the 2014 model year at the earliest. The mid-engined route has also been scrapped, since it would simply cost too much to re-engineer the entire car for the purpose of easier integration of fuel saving tech like cylinder deactivation. That means a six-cylinder is still being talked about -- by GM outsiders only, at this point -- as an option for the C7. If we take the Camaro as an example, that 2014 introduction date could mean late 2012, but that still only gives you four years to mentally prepare for a budget- and economy-minded V6 Corvette. Get cracking.

Collection of cool Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports cars including a few concept cars thrown in for good measure. Hope you like them!

The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray has got to me one of my favorite cars but they are very hard to get hold of and I can imagine the car insurance would be eye watering, not to mention the petrol consumption!

Mallett Corvette Z03

Many people are simply drawn to cool cars. Behind the artistry and superfluous lines lies the maker’s true passion to make an already existing work of art into something much more. This is what the 2009 USD Mallet Corvette ZO3 is. As a joint project of Mallet Cars of Berea, Ohio and Ugur Sahin Design from Gorinchem, Netherlands, the very powerful Corvette has just gotten a bit better.

The Team of USD B.V. had promising dreams for the Corvette C3. They already knew the capabilities of the favored supercar, which has a supercharger-twin turbo 7-liter V8 engine. But they wanted to create something that not had power in the inside, but it had to reflect on the outside as well. And thus they created something far more than design and style. It’s what they call Automotive Haute Couture.
