Chevrolet Corvette Future development

Tuesday, July 27, 2010

According to Motor Trend GM executives have been planning the next-generation (C7) Corvette since 2007 and have considered front-, mid-, and rear-engine layouts. The car was originally planned for the 2011 model year but will likely launch as a 2012 model. It may be delayed further, depending on the scope of upcoming CAFE regulations.

The C7 will reportedly feature a new next-gen small block from GM that will include technologies like direct injection, aluminum block and heads and a revised combustion system. The engine will retain the class pushrod configuration and will be reduced in size to only 5.5L. Despite the smaller displacement, the new V8 will produce more horsepower than the current LS3. Currently estimates put the horsepower at 440 hp. The engine for the C7 will be part of the new $890 million small block engine program that will be used in vehicles across the GM lineup.

Cadillac XLR-V Specs and Price

The Cadillac XLR-V is the high performance version of the Cadillac XLR. It was first introduced in 2005. It is the successor to the Cadillac Allanté, produced from 1987 to 1993.

Cadillac gave the public its first glimpse of the XLR-V in its Super Bowl commercial, which aired February 6, 2005. Super Bowl MVP, Deion Branch was also awarded an XLR. The car was formally introduced at the 2005 New York International Auto Show.

The XLR-V uses the same Northstar V8 as the STS-V, though output is down somewhat. For the XLR-V, the engine is certified by the SAE to produce 443 hp (330 kW) and 414 lb·ft (561 N·m). The supercharger and four intercoolers are built into the intake manifold. A six-speed automatic transmission, larger brakes from the Z51 Corvette, and 19-inch wheels will also be used.

The XLR-V can accelerate to 60 mph in 4.6 seconds according to Car and Driver's tests. The magazine also timed it at 11.3 seconds to 100 mph (160 km/h) and recorded a 13.0 second quarter mile at 110 mph (177 km/h). Its top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (249 km/h).

The XLR-V was introduced in the United States in early 2006 for a base price of $98,000 dollars.

resent Bloodhound SSC Project

Still from a computer simulation of Bloodhound SSC modelling how the chassis will flex under the stresses produced by the rocket and parachute

Three months ago, a team of engineers unveiled their plans to build Bloodhound SSC, the first car designed to reach 1,000mph. Since the fanfare of the project's launch, engineers have been doing what engineers do best: getting on with it.

I've picked up a bit about the latest computer simulations the team has been running, and wanted to write a quick note on them for anyone who's keen to follow the project more closely.

Arup, the consulting engineers who happened to work on London's wobbly Millennium Bridge, are lending their expertise to the project, and that's not as worrying as I've made it sound. Those guys really know their stuff.

So what have they been doing? One of the first tasks for Arup was to create a computer model of the Bloodhound's chassis and structure. With this, the team can test whether the concept design will rip to pieces under the stresses of the jet engine, the booster rocket, or the parachute, which is used as a brake.

If the chassis can't take the strain, it's back to the drawing board in a major way.

So far, it sounds as though the tests are going well, though it's early days. This kind of modelling also lets engineers spot parts of the car that are "over-designed". If a strut here or there is stronger than it needs to be, for example, it can be replaced with something more slender to save weight.

The still, above, is from one of the team's computers and is part of a series that shows how the chassis flexes under the stresses produced by the rocket and parachute.

I'll post more as and when I hear. It's an ambitious, inspiring project and it will be great to see this machine in action.

# Lower fuel consumption than the F430 and lower carbon dioxide emissions.
# An innovative driving environment with a new kind of steering wheel and dashboard.
# The design has been influenced by the requirements for aerodynamic efficiency.
# A seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
# Dimensions stand at 4,527mm in length, 1,937mm in width, and 1,213 in height. The wheelbase measures in at 2,650mm.
# Twin wishbones at the front and a multi-link set-up at the rear.
# The integration of the E-Diff and F1-Trac traction control systems (controlled by the same ECU) resulting in a claimed 32 percent better speed out of corners.
# The brakes also feature a prefill function.

Its official world debut will be at this September’s Frankfurt Motor Show. On sale in the first half of next year.
