2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wallpaper

Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Wallpaper

The 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 is undoubtedly the most sophisticated sports car ever produced by General Motors. Underneath the Z06's hood sits an all-new LT4 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine rated at what Chevy estimates will be 625 horsepower and 635 lb-ft. of torque (figures will be confirmed closer to the Z06's on sale date late in 2014). Like the standard Corvette's V8, it also now includes continuously variable valve timing, cylinder deactivation (to reduce fuel consumption) and direct injection. The V8 can be mated either to a seven-speed manual or a new eight-speed 8L90 automatic transmission with paddle shifters. Instead of fitting the 'Vette with a dual-clutch unit, the automaker's engineers worked to give the eight-speed gearbox "world class shift-response times."

Chevrolet has debuted its all-new TrailBlazer – in show car form – at the Dubai International Motor Show. The global offering is essentially the SUV version of the recently introduced Colorado pick-up, with which it shares its architecture and underpinnings.

The TrailBlazer’s styling and bold design presence were crafted in GM’s South American Design Centre, located in Sao Caetano do Sul, Brazil. The company says that the production form of the vehicle will bear a pretty close resemblance to the show vehicle. Given that the Colorado retained much of the looks previewed on the show truck version earlier in the year, it stands to reason the TrailBlazer should do the same.

The TrailBlazer offers seating for seven, with genuine third-row seating. Power comes courtesy of the 2.8 litre Duramax mill as seen on the Colorado – it features a variable-geometry turbocharger and balance shaft, and has 180 hp and 470 Nm of torque for numbers.
Design cues on the show car include a bonnet power dome, raised cowl and higher-mounted dual projector headlamps, while polished aluminium exterior highlights and tri-coat pearlescent white paint add to the vehicle’s luxury exterior finish.

The 2012 Chevrolet Colorado debuts in the land of a thousand smiles and GM claims that it is the toughest, highest-performance and most refined MIDSIZE pickup truck ever.

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Wallpaper

2013 Chevrolet Malibu Wallpaper

The next 2013 Chevrolet Malibu is shaping up to be a very important car for General Motors, not just in the US of A, but else where in the global market. For the first time ever, the Chevrolet Malibu will be the first ever to carry the Malibu name off-shore. That said, the General is sure enough not to forget offering a diesel powered Malibu.

In a recent press release, the Detroit automaker mentioned that the European Malibu will come with an option for an oil burner. Whether it will come to the US however is still up for debate. Because the Chevrolet Cruze is getting a diesel engine here in the US, it makes us wonder if GM will follow suit with the Malibu.

GM’s Product Communications Manager for the Malibu project, Dave Darovits, said that there are no plans to offer a diesel version of the Malibu in the US as of now.

The diesel engine being fitted to the Malibu is a 2.0L turbodiesel four-banger that’s good for 164hp and 258 lb-ft of torque. The Cruze diesel will get a slightly reworked engine for the US. It will still displace 2.0L, but is expected to produce 164hp and 265 lb-ft of torque, according to GM in their announcement of the Cruze diesel.

Despite the lack of promising news for the Malibu diesel, the absence of an oil burning Malibu means that Chevrolet doesn’t have a truly direct competitor to the Passat TDI, which is said to be capable of going 800 miles on one tank and is being launched very soon. To make the discussion more interesting, the observable decrease in build quality with VW’s latest efforts—i.e. the US specified Jetta and even the Passat—along with the buzz of GM pushing to make the Malibu a world-class leader in its segment makes the Malibu seem very promising. That said, the Malibu has the potential of being a segment leader. Let us hope that they change their mind about a Malibu die

Chevrolet Aveo/Sonic Wallpaper

This summer the Chevrolet Aveo will go onsale in europe. According to Chevrolet’s European division, the Aveo is designed to appeal at the “young and young-at-heart”, with the sedan model being a more suitable offering for young families, particularly in the southern and eastern parts of Europe where a four-door saloon is more often than not the only car in the household. The four-door has a boot volume of 502 liters, while the hatch reaches 653 liters when the rear seats are folded down.

Chevrolet says the new Aveo has one of the most rigid chassis in the segment, with the upper body and the frame engineered as a single unit, thus ensuring a stiffer and lighter structure.

We're already familiar with the Aveo’s styling from the U.S.-spec Sonic, so let's skip to the engines. In Europe, the new Aveo will be available with a choice of four petrol units and, for the first time in a small Chevrolet, a diesel powerplant.

The gasoline engine range includes two 1.2-liter versions rated at 70 horsepower and 86 horsepower, a 1.4-liter unit good for 100-horses and a 1.6-liter engine developing 115 horsepower.

The most fuel-efficient version is the 86HP 1.2-liter engine, rated at 5.1 liters/100 km (US 46.1 mpg) and 119 g of CO2 per kilometer, while the 1.6-liter unit averages 6.6 liters/100 km (US 35.6 mpg).

Chevrolet Sonic Sedan & Hatchback Wallpaper

General Motors has released details and images of the new Aveo that will be unwrapped later at Detroit, just that it’s not called the Aveo, but Sonic. Like the car it replaces, the B-segment Sonic is available in two body styles – five-door hatchback and four-door sedan. Both variants deliver “class-leading rear-seat roominess and cargo space” according to GM. In the US, the subcompact Sonic takes on the Ford Fiesta, Toyota Yaris and Honda Fit.

In America, the Sonic will come with relatively powerful engines for its size. The Ecotec 1.4L turbo (138 hp/200 Nm from 1,850 to 4,900 rpm) and the 135 hp/167 Nm Ecotec 1.8L are also found in big brother Cruze. Three transmissions are available: a five-speed manual or six-speed automatic with the 1.8L and a six-speed manual for the sporty 1.4 turbo.

These modern powerplants come with features such as low-mass hollow-frame cast iron block, DOHC with VVT, chain-driven cams, roller-finger camshaft followers, piston-cooling oil jets and integrated oil cooler, variable-flow oil pump and electronically controlled thermostat. The 1.4′s turbocharger is integrated within the exhaust manifold for reduced weight and greater packaging flexibility.

GM talks about “fun to drive” in the release, mentioning that Corvette engineers tuned the Sonic’s ride and handling. The hardware is par for the class – front MacPherson struts, rear torsion beam, EPS steering, front disc brakes and rear drums are expected.

The body structure is claimed to be among the stiffest in the segment. Sonic’s unique “flat top frame” cradle, for example, assures optimal stiffness in the front chassis portion, while he rear axle is straight without contour for packaging restraints and reduced noise, vibration and harshness. Wheels are as big as 17 inches for the turbo model.

The funky cabin’s highlight is the motorcycle inspired instrument panel, which combines analog with digital displays. The centre stack is typical modern GM; it and the steering wheel will be familiar to Cruze owners. Front “bucket seats” are standard and heated front seats are available along with remote start and sunroof. Connectivity includes OnStar, XM Satellite Radio, USB/Bluetooth and MyChevrolet mobile application. On the safety front, 10 standard air bags, ABS, EBD, brake assist and OnStar with Automatic Crash Response are included.

Production of the Sonic begins later this year in Michigan. GM says that Chevy is the only company building a small car in the US and Sonic will help restore about 1,000 jobs in the metropolitan Detroit area. This could be a big selling point for a US economy that’s still facing issues with unemployment.

Chevrolet Sonic Z-Spec Concept Wallpaper

Chevrolet Sonic Z-Spec Concept Wallpaper

Making its world premiere alongside the regular variants of the all-new Chevrolet Sonic sub-compact at the Detroit Show today is a Z-Spec-badged concept study of the five-door hatchback model.

In a similar fashion to the Z-Spec 2011 Cruze , Volt and Spark minicar displayed at the SEMA Show last November, the Sonic Z-Spec demonstrates a possible lineup of factory-engineered accessories. The parts seen on the concept could be purchased individually, to suit customer tastes and budgets, but could also spawn a limited-edition version from Chevrolet in the near future.

The Detroit Show study is finished in a black paint job with contrasting orange details such as the BBS alloy wheels, the front grille surround, the upper part of the mirrors and the roof wing, plus the racing stripes. The car is also fitted with a body kit that comprises of a front and rear apron, and side skirts, while the larger chrome exhaust tail pipe completes the look.

Inside, the Sonic Z-Spec features a two-tone color theme with beige leather sports seats, steering wheel accents and gearbox, complemented by a piano black trim on the center console and doors.

Chevrolet has not yet issued a release on the performance upgrades, but judging from the aftermarket partners featured on the labels just above the rocker panels, the Z-Spec model should feature Brembo-sourced brakes, a Borla sport exhaust system, a K&N filter and a sport suspension from Pedders.
