Just last week, there was a rumor going around the internet saying that General Motors may choose the upcoming
Geneva International Auto Show in March for the world premiere of the convertible version of its 2014 Corvette Stingray.
On Tuesday, America's biggest automaker made it official and even released a teaser sketch that outlines the shape of the ragtop sports car, though, the previously available renderings that may or may not be sourced from Chevy, give us a much better idea of
what the car will look like.

Even though the dust has yet to settle from the presentation of the new 2014
Corvette Stingray and we won't be seeing the car in showrooms until the end of summer the earliest, some fans of the series have been complaining about the switch from circle to the more Camaro-esque square taillights.
While it's true that the C2, C3, C5 and C6 did indeed have round or oval rear lights, it wasn't always like that as the C4 came with four square-shaped tail lamps and the first Corvette had single lights from 1951 to 1960, with the four-light treatment appearing on the 1961 and 1962 models of the C1 lineup.

Pictures claimed to be of the next-generation
Chevolet Corvette Stingray convertible have appeared days after the coupe premiered at the
Detroit motor show.
The unofficial pictures show that, with the hood down, the only visible differences between the bodystyles is that the cabrio loses the full width rear spoiler, and it appears to have smaller wheels.

Raise your hands if you think you know which car will be one of the stars of the next SEMA show in Las Vegas this fall. You can put them down now as we all know that unless GM chooses otherwise, the 2014 Corvette Stingray will be the poster child of world's largest aftermarket event.
In fact, we're already starting to see speculative takes on tuned Stingrays such as the these two renderings made by
Glacius Creations, which is run by Norwegian design
Christer Stormark.

The flow of information regarding the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray continues with a trio of videos that show some new aspects of the car itself as well as General Motors' promotional efforts targeting the press.
We'll begin our sightseeing with a clip that comes to us courtesy of the crew over at
GMAuthority who placed a microphone up, close and personal to the display model's
buttocks at the
Detroit motor show as GM fired up the 450-horsepower V8 engine.

If our own stats are anything to go by, the new Corvette Stingray is the undisputed star of the
2013 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, so given your interest in the seventh incarnation of GM's flagship sports car, we prepared an extensive photo gallery along with videos from Chevrolet's booth.
In the first clip, Corvette chief engineer Tadge Juechter walks us around the new 'Vette and briefs us on the key highlights of the car, while we also have footage from the presentation and a short interview with GM North America president Mark Reuss, the latter courtesy of the
Wall Street Journal.

If you had any doubts that
GM is attempting to make future buyers of its all-new Corvette Stingray feel younger in one by adapting the car's styling as well as its own marketing efforts to reach the PlayStation and Nissan GT-R generation of youths, look no further than to its connection with the
Gran Turismo 5 (GT5) racing game.
After offering GT5 users the chance to drive a camouflaged prototype of the new Corvette C7, a challenge that more than 500,000 people accepted since last November,
Chevrolet and Polyphony Digital Inc., the developers of the racing game franchise, are now making the production model available for download.

Even though it started as a young American’s dream car, somewhere along the way in its 60-year old history, the
Corvette lost its edge and fell behind rivals.
GM execs agree with analysts such as Edmunds’ Jessica Caldwell who say that the ‘Vette is thought today as “an old man’s car”: the data show that last year, through October, around 46 percent of Corvette buyers were 55 years or older compared with just 22 percent of Audi R8 and 30 percent of Porsche 911 clients.

For their own reasons, automakers have their preferences in the media and like to give select magazines and websites (keep an eye on a certain
auto blog's 12:01am, 12:02am Ford postings, for example) press photos and releases well before they distribute them to the rest of the media world.
General Motors is one of many automakers that adheres to these unwritten rules, which is why you're seeing a snapshot of the yet-to-be revealed 2014
Chevrolet Corvette C7 posing on the cover of
Automobile Magazine's next issue.

Even if you’re not a
Corvette fan, we bet that by now, you’ll be pretty frustrated from all the teasers
GM is fanning out on the C7 while managing to keep the seventh-generation ‘Vette under wraps.
The fourth, and probably final, video released by the General about its upcoming sports car that will debut at the
Detroit Motor Show next week shows parts of the car’s manufacturing process.

We know the seventh generation of GM's
flagship sports car, the Corvette, is just around the corner and that it will arrive sometime in the first half of 2013, but one YouTube user had the unique opportunity to see the car up close and on the road.
The good news is that he was able to film a short clip, the bad news being that he did it with a mobile phone without turning it sideways… Nonetheless, the video is worth 30 seconds of your time.
The prototype was under heavy camouflage but we are still able to see some details such as the four tailpipes, which unlike the current model, are bundled very closely together. The video also proves that the C7 will remain a front-engine, rear-wheel drive sports car
GM is keeping a tight lid on most things concerning the next Corvette, but we expect to see a new generation of V8 engines in both naturally aspirated and force-fed forms.

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Corvette is heading into its final year of production, signifying a highly successful seven year production run.As it prepares to be replaced, the American automaker is giving the C6 ‘Vette a new paint shade, Night Race Blue. The Night Race Blue is a classy shade of blue which will complement the existing Supersonic Blue Metallic and Carlisle Blue Metallic that is currently being offered.
Buyers of the 2013 Corvette will also get to choose between four Black Painted aluminum wheel choices, instead of the Competition Gray that was offered in years prior. Choices include a 5-spoke in 18- or 19-inch sizes, the Grand Sport in 18- or 19-inch, the Spider design will come in 18- or 19-inch, and the ZR1-styled wheel will be offered in 19- or 20-inch.
With the new paint and wheel combos certain to make the 2013 ‘Vette a looker, we’ll have to suffer with these grainy photos for now.

One of the many perks of working for a large magazine like Motor Trend is that you have the opportunity to perform trips and projects that most people can only dream of – like travelling from Munich, Germany to Maranello, Italy, in a Corvette ZR1, and while in the land of supercars, hop in a brand-new Ferrari 458 Italia for quick ride.
If you follow the break, you can watch MT's Editor at Large Angus MacKenzie and British racecar driver Justin Bell, take the ZR1 up to 200mph (321km/h) on the Autobahn before hitting the Stelvio Pass and driving the
458 Italia in its homeland.

What Nissan has managed to do with the
R35 GT-R is nothing short of amazing, as the Japanese carmaker's flagship model has become the de facto standard in the sports car world upon which all other vehicles are judged.
Of course, we should never forget that another important factor that weighs in at any type of race is the driver and how capable he or she is behind the wheel.
The video that follows, isn't a race per se, as the drivers of the
Corvette Z06 and Nissan GT-R running at the MotorSport Ranch Performance Car Country Club in Texas were probably there to do some hot laps around the track, but still, the chase that ensued makes for a pretty interesting watch.

In the market for a new car and have cash ready to go? You might want to check out a joint promotion between
eBay Motors and AutoNation, the largest group of U.S. car dealerships.
From now until March 30th, AutoNation is celebrating the launch of AutoNation Direct by selling vehicles from
Ford,
General Motors, and
Nissan for half off. That’s right, 50-percent off. We took a look over one of the auctions to see what the catch is, and there really isn’t one. There’s no financing involved, so it’s a cash deal only, and upon winning the auction you have to pony up $500 via PayPal. A full payment of the vehicle must be made within three days of the deposit.
Four vehicles appear randomly every day, so you have to keep your eyes out on their auction page. Most of them have been sold within minutes, including a Chevy Volt for $22,615. AutoNation will apparently finish off the promotion with a
2012 Corvette at half off.
