Get ready for a glimpse into the future of the Corvette! General Motors’ Advanced Design Studio in Pasadena has just unveiled its take on what a 10th-generation Corvette could look like with the stunning C10 California Corvette Concept.
This isn’t a car you’ll see on the streets anytime soon—GM says there are no plans for production. Instead, it’s a peek into the minds of designers around the world as they reimagine the iconic sports car.
So what makes this hypercar so special? It’s a bold vision, blending classic Corvette cues with futuristic technology. The design features visible carbon fiber, active aerodynamics, and a sleek, lightweight body that’s pleasing to the eye. Inside, the driver-focused cockpit includes a yoke-style steering wheel and an augmented reality head-up display to enhance the driving […]

Celebration of 30+ Cars includes Niki Lauda’s Legendary Ferrari 312 T2
[PEBBLE BEACH, CALIFORNIA, July 28, 2025] — In 1976, Niki Lauda and the Ferrari 312 T2 reshaped what it meant to be a champion.
“Ferrari is synonymous with Formula 1, being the only manufacturer to have contested all 75 F1 seasons and winning 15 titles in the process,” said Miles Morris, a Concours Selection Committee member. “Perhaps their most memorable season was in 1976, with […]
Electric? Not So Fast!
Corvette’s Executive Chief Engineer, Tony Roma, recently silenced the growing buzz around a fully electric or plug-in hybrid Corvette. While electric vehicles may be the future, Roma made it clear: the Corvette will only go all-electric when it makes sense. Until then, the V8 lives on.
Roma doubled down on the importance of keeping the driving experience raw and engaging, not just fast. The Corvette E-Ray already proves that hybrids can enhance performance without losing soul.
As for plug-ins and silent EVs? “Nobody wants a Corvette that doesn’t feel like a Corvette,” Roma said.
The next-gen C9 isn’t expected until 2029, but don’t worry. There’s still plenty of fire left in the C8 lineup, including the 1,250-hp ZR1X… and more still to come.
Long live the rumble. Win These Two Corvettes & $60K Cash […]

Concorso Ferrari: Celebrating a Heritage of Racing
1,250 Horsepower Isn’t The Final Word!
In a recent interview with Top Gear, Corvette boss Tony Roma made it clear: the new ZR1X is “not the end of the story, it’s just the latest chapter.” The same engineering minds behind Cadillac’s Blackwing sedans are pushing the boundaries of what the C8 can do, and they’re just getting started.
The ZR1X already combines 1064 hp from its twin-turbo V8 with an additional 186 hp electric front motor, delivering all-wheel-drive grip and neck-snapping acceleration. Add in lightweight carbon fiber, 1200 lbs of downforce from its aero kit, and the Nürburgring in their sights.
But Roma hints more is coming, not just in horsepower, but in next-level weight savings and maybe even active aerodynamics to push performance even further. Win a 2026 Corvette ZR1 with ZTK!
