2011 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport
ADVERTISEMENTS
Combinations of performance and efficiency of any Sports car of was release from Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport.The Grand Sport has the wider wheels and fenders of the Z06, along with beefed-up brakes and a more-premium suspension. It also has a dry-sump engine (manual-transmission versions) to go along with a bunch of smaller changes.
Grand Sport, this low-rent interior was another sore point, especially big, unsupportive seats that looked as if they were full of bread. 1.06 g to hit very fast, open car dedicated to the roll-over chintzy and there is more daunting for inspiration. Car seats are a disgrace to this level, and their continued use, after years of criticism makes us wonder whether GM is close to keep alive the contract.
The Grand Sport is visually distinguished from the standard Corvette by the Z06’s wider (by 3.3 inches) bodywork, along with unique fender vents and wheels (18-inchers up front, 19s at the rear). The borrowed Z06 brakes are good for a stellar 150-foot stop from 70 to 0 mph in this car, and they offer solid pedal feel and good modulation.

Chevrolet Agile hatchback brings the latest in advanced exterior and interior design, comfort and convenience features, and technology, introducing the latest evolution in engine efficiency: the 1.4L (Econo.Flex) engine with the new electronic management system developed by GM
Chevrolet has established a new benchmark in the compact hatchback market segment with the October 2009 launch of the Chevrolet Agile, a model fully developed in the most advanced automotive technology center in Latin America located in Brazil and produced in Argentina, for the Mercosur region.
The new Chevrolet Agile surpasses the compact hatchback competition in every way, with its innovative exterior and interior design, its advanced functionality, its unequaled safety and its leading-edge technology on board. The Chevrolet Agile is equipped with the efficient and reliable 1.4L (Econo.Flex) engine — now with a new electronic management system developed by General Motors of Brazil.
Available in two versions for Brazil – the LT and LTZ, and three versions for Argentina – the LS, LT and LTZ, the Chevrolet Agile was developed to meet the needs of modern motorists.
The Chevrolet Agile is a unique car, both outside and inside. Externally, the car displays Chevrolet’s new global identity, with a large trapezoidal shaped radiator grille element, on which the golden ‘bow tie’ is affixed. The design is modern and differentiated, giving the Chevrolet Agile a crossover appearance and an elegant and dynamic profile. The interior is impressive, with its high quality and refinement. It is distinguished by the ‘dual cockpit’ design that provides a distinct experience for the driver and passenger and amplifies the model’s functionality and sophistication. In addition to incorporating convenience features that are unique in the market segment and are developed to benefit the car’s occupants, the Chevrolet Agile delivers pure driving pleasure and makes life onboard easy.
‘Chevrolet’s goal is to provide a unique product to a group of very demanding consumers, people who want to buy a car that stands out, a car with exclusive and innovative design that offers a wide range of functional and comfort features, and uses high technology to deliver high quality. In a few words, we tried to create a complete automobile, one that surpasses the competition’, emphasizes Jaime Ardila, president of GM of Brazil and Mercosur.
The Chevrolet Agile was created and developed exclusively by the Brazilian design and engineering teams at the new Technology Center in São Caetano do Sul (Sao Paulo State) and at the Cruz Alta Testing Ground in Indaiatuba (Sao Paulo State). ‘The Chevrolet Agile is an unmistakable demonstration of the creative and innovative capacity of Brazilian design and engineering teams. It reinforces our technological competence and our top priority: We are committed to offering the best product to the consumer’, asserts José Carlos Pinheiro Neto, vice president of GM of Brazil.
Under the hood of the Chevrolet Agile is the already familiar and efficient 1.4L engine, which produces 102 hp at 6000 rpm when fueled with alcohol and 97 hp when running on gasoline — developed by GM Powertrain. However, this new Chevrolet model’s engine also brings something new: ‘System Zero’, an engine management system designed by GM exclusively for ‘flex fuel’ vehicles.
Beyond its innovative design and technology, the Chevrolet Agile also stands out because of its exclusive and differentiated features in this market segment, such as cruise control, an on-board computer with six functions, adjustable driver’s seat and steering wheel — solutions desired by Chevrolet customers, but typically available on more upscale vehicles. The Chevrolet Agile has 27 small storage compartments including a special holder for a GPS navigation device as well as an attractive and innovative dashboard filled with resources and digital instruments that blend perfectly with the analog displays.
The 1.4L Engine’s New Electronic Management System
The Chevrolet Agile is equipped with an efficient, 1.4L (Econoflex) engine developed by the GM Powertrain of Brazil. It utilizes ‘flex fuel’ technology, which enables the car to be fueled with alcohol or gasoline, or with both at any mixture ratio.
The 1.4L engine that equips the new Chevrolet model brings with it the new ‘System Zero’, an engine management system developed by GM exclusively for ‘flex fuel’ vehicles. Its processor has increased speed and memory.
The new engine management system contains one of the most complete software programs in the automotive industry. The software was created, designed and developed by General Motors. The system incorporates the company’s global expertise in engine management, and it comes with the latest generation of sensors that can effectively measure the amount of air taken in by the engine, thus enabling a more accurate calculation of the amount of fuel to be utilized, contributing to improved fuel consumption.
The Chevrolet Agile will initially be sold in Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay.

C6 Black force One | super speed cars
ADVERTISEMENTS
Corvette ‘C6.BlackforceOne’
The name of this vehicle is a show in itself: C6.BlackforceOne. It is clearly reminiscent of the legendary Boeing Air Force One of the United States president – doubtless no accident by tuner LOMA-Performance. Yet when the C6.BlackforceOne available in Stealth matt black, Eurofighter matt grey and White Storm matt white (other colours on request) comes thundering round the corner, it is soon clear that it more than deserves its name – and has far more to offer than just an exciting label…
No less than two metres from outside wheel to outside wheel, the C6.BlackforceOne is based on the ‘normal’ Corvette (original width: 179cm) and not on a Z06 or ZR1 model. This means around ten centimetres more on each side and creates a real masculine feel. LOMA-Performance makes no effort to disguise the source of the additional width – indeed clearly and stylishly displays the carbon fibre wheel arch extensions and carbon fibre side skirts available with or without visible screws: the ultimate racing look. LOMA has installed a carbon fibre front lip and rear diffuser with integrated LED reverse light alongside the extensions, also in carbon fibre. The optional LOMA-Performance rear spoiler with a carbon fibre finish is easy to fit and detach. Circular daytime running lights are an eye-catching feature of the headlights. The front lip, rear diffuser and daytime running lights are incidentally available for all C6 Corvettes, including the Z06 and ZR1.
794 PS with bi-turbo charging
The bi-turbo engine conversion is, however, exclusive to the C6.BlackforceOne and raises an incredible 794 PS from the V8 engine. 675 PS still reach the rear axle after transfer via a LOMA-Performance carbon fibre sports clutch, highly durable carbon fibre drive shafts and an overhauled gear unit; skilled hands are certainly needed at the wheel of the high-speed Corvette. It should hit 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds to furious roars from the LOMA Cup Sport Superlight exhaust unit and reach 330km/h. ‘Only’ 330km/h? Yes, that’s right, because LOMA believes in good acceleration in all situations rather final speed as a status-symbol, and has adjusted the C6.BlackforceOne accordingly.
A propos adjustment: coilover suspension is fitted beneath the body to allow separate adjustment of pressure and rebound damping. Even the stabilisers are adjustable. An extra 8 centimetres’ tread at the front and all of 14 centimetres at the rear ensure the C6 really hugs the road.
The impression of sheer unlimited curve speed is of course also down to the Michelin Sport Cup high performance tyres in the dimensions 275/30R19 and 335/25R20 mounted on 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch shining black OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels.
Racing technology for the road
LOMA-Performance can install a carbon fibre/ceramic brake unit from Mov’it for brutal deceleration to match the brutal acceleration. This is an impressive 15.5 kilograms lighter on the front axle and 10 kilograms lighter on the rear axle than, say, ZO6 brakes.
In the interior, too, the team headed by Managing Director Mario Radosavljevic have been hard at work creating a great ambience with both technical and luxury features. The door panels, for example, are finished in carbon fibre and sections of the cockpit are covered with Alcantara. C6.BlackforceOne customers can choose from 300 different types of leather. The sports steering wheel – 34 centimetres in diameter with Alcantara – is smoothed off on the underside; the refitted seats with shoulder rests are only half as thick as their series equivalents. Special foam ensures these ultimate sports seats are still comfortable and great for long journeys.
All electrical functions have been retained as has full airbag functionality.

The name of this vehicle is a show in itself: C6.BlackforceOne. It is clearly reminiscent of the legendary Boeing Air Force One of the United States president – doubtless no accident by tuner LOMA-Performance. Yet when the C6.BlackforceOne available in Stealth matt black, Eurofighter matt grey and White Storm matt white (other colours on request) comes thundering round the corner, it is soon clear that it more than deserves its name – and has far more to offer than just an exciting label…
No less than two metres from outside wheel to outside wheel, the C6.BlackforceOne is based on the ‘normal’ Corvette (original width: 179cm) and not on a Z06 or ZR1 model. This means around ten centimetres more on each side and creates a real masculine feel. LOMA-Performance makes no effort to disguise the source of the additional width – indeed clearly and stylishly displays the carbon fibre wheel arch extensions and carbon fibre side skirts available with or without visible screws: the ultimate racing look. LOMA has installed a carbon fibre front lip and rear diffuser with integrated LED reverse light alongside the extensions, also in carbon fibre. The optional LOMA-Performance rear spoiler with a carbon fibre finish is easy to fit and detach. Circular daytime running lights are an eye-catching feature of the headlights. The front lip, rear diffuser and daytime running lights are incidentally available for all C6 Corvettes, including the Z06 and ZR1.
794 PS with bi-turbo charging
The bi-turbo engine conversion is, however, exclusive to the C6.BlackforceOne and raises an incredible 794 PS from the V8 engine. 675 PS still reach the rear axle after transfer via a LOMA-Performance carbon fibre sports clutch, highly durable carbon fibre drive shafts and an overhauled gear unit; skilled hands are certainly needed at the wheel of the high-speed Corvette. It should hit 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds to furious roars from the LOMA Cup Sport Superlight exhaust unit and reach 330km/h. ‘Only’ 330km/h? Yes, that’s right, because LOMA believes in good acceleration in all situations rather final speed as a status-symbol, and has adjusted the C6.BlackforceOne accordingly.
A propos adjustment: coilover suspension is fitted beneath the body to allow separate adjustment of pressure and rebound damping. Even the stabilisers are adjustable. An extra 8 centimetres’ tread at the front and all of 14 centimetres at the rear ensure the C6 really hugs the road.
The impression of sheer unlimited curve speed is of course also down to the Michelin Sport Cup high performance tyres in the dimensions 275/30R19 and 335/25R20 mounted on 10 x 19 and 12 x 20-inch shining black OZ Racing Ultraleggera HLT alloy wheels.
Racing technology for the road
LOMA-Performance can install a carbon fibre/ceramic brake unit from Mov’it for brutal deceleration to match the brutal acceleration. This is an impressive 15.5 kilograms lighter on the front axle and 10 kilograms lighter on the rear axle than, say, ZO6 brakes.
In the interior, too, the team headed by Managing Director Mario Radosavljevic have been hard at work creating a great ambience with both technical and luxury features. The door panels, for example, are finished in carbon fibre and sections of the cockpit are covered with Alcantara. C6.BlackforceOne customers can choose from 300 different types of leather. The sports steering wheel – 34 centimetres in diameter with Alcantara – is smoothed off on the underside; the refitted seats with shoulder rests are only half as thick as their series equivalents. Special foam ensures these ultimate sports seats are still comfortable and great for long journeys.

GM Unveils Chevrolet Volt MPV5 Electric Concept at Auto China
2010 Crossover with Extended Range Capability Builds on Volt’s Foundation
Chevrolet has made a major commitment to providing world-class, fuel-efficient vehicles to its customers around the world. In recent months, through GM’s Shanghai GM joint venture, Chevrolet has introduced the fuel-efficient Cruze and New Sail in China. It will introduce the Volt electric vehicle with extended range capability in 2011.
In preparation for the Volt’s arrival, Chevrolet is leveraging Auto China 2010, which starts today in Beijing, to introduce the Volt MPV5 electric concept. The five-passenger multi-purpose crossover concept demonstrates the potential of the Voltec propulsion system by utilizing the same foundation as the Volt, for gas- and tailpipe emissions-free electric driving.
Maximizing Efficiency and Style
The styling of the Volt MPV5 concept borrows design and aerodynamic cues from the Chevrolet Volt. The front fascia is among the most aerodynamic of any crossover thanks to its closed grille and aero-optimized lower air dam, both of which help improve fuel efficiency. A full-underbody belly pan, along with rocker claddings, creased tail lamps and specially designed blades on the rear quarter, also help the Volt MPV5 concept cut through the wind with ease. The intense focus on improved aerodynamics enables greater all-electric range.
The exterior of the Volt MPV5 concept isn’t solely about efficiency. Its Sonic Blue Metallic paint provides a contemporary appeal, while the dual skylight panels and 19-inch Volt-inspired wheels build the Volt MPV5 concept’s sporty credentials.
‘The Volt MPV5 concept takes the efficient design of the Chevrolet Volt and adapts it to the family vehicle crossover segment. It’s immediately recognizable as a true member of the Chevrolet family,’ said Bob Boniface, Director of GM North America Crossover Exterior Design, whose team worked in conjunction with members of GM’s design studio in Australia on the Volt MPV5 concept.
The Volt MPV5 concept’s dimensions provide added passenger comfort. While the 2,760-mm wheelbase of the Volt MPV5 concept is a mere 15 mm longer than the wheelbase of the Chevrolet Volt, its body is 181 mm longer (4,585 mm), 73 mm wider (1,871 mm) and 182 mm taller (1,612 mm) than the Volt.
Inside, the Volt MPV5 concept adopts the Volt’s center stack and gauge cluster along with its striking two-tone leather seats. Thanks to the Volt MPV5 concept’s size, passenger comfort doesn’t take a backseat. Typical for Chevrolet crossovers, the Volt MPV5 concept’s seating position allows for maximum comfort and flexibility, including improved entry and egress.
When it comes to cargo, the Volt MPV5 concept carries on the crossover tradition thanks to its flip-and-fold second row seating, which provides up to 1,764.1 liters of cargo space with the seats folded and 863.7 liters of space behind the second row.
Voltec Power Boosts Green Credentials
The Volt MPV5 concept utilizes the same Voltec propulsion system found in the Chevrolet Volt, including the added capability of an engine generator to extend the driving range and eliminate ‘range anxiety.’ A 16-kWh T-shaped lithium-ion battery pack powers the electric drive unit.
The flexibility of the Voltec system enables the Volt MPV5 concept to meet full vehicle speed and acceleration requirements while driving the vehicle and its five occupants up to 51.5 km on pure electric propulsion. This is double what the average urban commuter in China travels each day. When the battery is depleted, a 1.4-liter engine generator sustains the battery charge and provides up to 482 km of electric propulsion.
‘The Volt MPV5 concept demonstrates the flexibility of the Voltec propulsion system, which can produce enough electric power to propel a range of vehicles. from a compact sedan like the Volt to a crossover like the Volt MPV5 concept,’ said Doug Parks, Global Vehicle Line Executive and Global Vehicle Chief Engineer for Electric Vehicles at GM.
‘Rapidly growing demand for personal transportation across China is creating new environmental and energy security challenges,’ said Kevin Wale, President and Managing Director of the GM China Group. ‘GM is committed to finding and adopting solutions, which include the electrification of the automobile. The world premiere of the Volt MPV5 concept in Beijing demonstrates GM’s desire to make China a global focus of its advanced technology strategy.’
GM continues to advance electrification in China through research and development. It has launched the China Automotive Energy Research Center (CAERC) in Beijing. The venture with SAIC and Tsinghua University is developing a comprehensive automotive energy strategy for China. The GM China Science Lab, which opened last November, is carrying out advanced automotive-related research, including battery development. In March, GM introduced the EN-V (Electric Networked-Vehicle) concepts in Shanghai. A centerpiece of the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010 Shanghai, EN-V embodies GM’s vision for personal urban mobility in 2030. In addition, GM is supporting its Shanghai GM joint venture’s ‘Drive to Green’ strategy, which is focused on developing green products, supporting green manufacturing and undertaking a green responsibility.
General Motors, one of the world’s largest automakers, traces its roots back to 1908. With its global headquarters in Detroit, GM employs 204,000 people in every major region of the world and does business in some 140 countries. GM and its strategic partners produce cars and trucks in 34 countries, and sell and service these vehicles through the following brands: Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, GM Daewoo, Holden, Jiefang, Opel, Vauxhall and Wuling. GM is the joint global automobile partner of World Expo 2010 Shanghai along with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation Group (SAIC).
