  • 08  February 2013: 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..2014 CHEVROLET CORVETTE STINGRAY: Crowds will be swarming to the Chevrolet exhibit during the ten-day run of the 2013 Chicago Auto Show to be among the first to see the 2014 Corvette on display. Visually stunning, the '14 Corvette's sculptured, aerodynamic two-door hatchback exterior and track-capabilities is worthy of the iconic "Stingray" designation. This marks the seventh-generation of "America's Sport Car," and as the C7, goes farther than ever, thanks to today's advancements in design, technology and engineering. Matching the dramatic exterior is a new 6.2 liter (376 cubic inch) LT1 V-8 engine that pumps out 450 horsepower and 450 lb.-ft. of torque to the rear wheels. Consumers have their choice of a six-speed paddle-shift automatic or seven-speed manual gearbox with "Active Rev Match" that anticipates gear selections and matches engine speed for perfect shifts every time. Either way, we're talking 0-to-60 mph in less than four seconds. For 2014, the latest Corvette shares only two parts with the previous generation model. Underneath is an all-new frame structure and chassis that helped shift weight rearward for an optimal 50/50 weight balance. Lightweight features include a carbon fiber hood and removable roof panel; composite fenders, doors and rear quarter panels. Slide into the cockpit composed of premium materials, smaller-diameter steering wheel, standard dual, eight-inch configurable driver/infotainment screens and available color head-up display. There are two new seat choices - each featuring a lightweight magnesium frame. You can see the 2014 Corvette Stingray coupe in Chicago from Feb. 9th-18th, or wait until they roll into Chevrolet dealerships the third quarter of 2013.

  • 08  February 2013: Toyota Corolla Furia concept car. Chicago Auto Show, Chicago Automobile Trade Association (CATA), McCormick Place, Chicago Illinois..TOYOTA COROLLA FURIA CONCEPT: If you want a glimpse at what's hot and exciting in the next-generation of compact sedans, gaze at the Toyota Corolla Furia concept during the 2013 Chicago Auto Show. The Furia is fashioned around what Toyota designers call, "Iconic Dynamism," which presents a provocative and dynamic exterior form. With its longer wheelbase (181.9 inches) the Corolla Furia Concept becomes a more stable and athletic vehicle, rolling on custom 19-inch allow wheels pushed to all four corners. As the show car slowly revolves, note the sinister-looking front fascia and blacked-out grille treatment that emphases a pair of sculpted front LED headlamps. In profile, this sexy sedan is topped by a sloped roofline and swept windshield. Pronounced fender flares heighten the carbon fiber pieces accenting the wheel wells, rocker panels and rear valance. Just as aggressive looking as the front, the rear section includes an attention-getting spoiler, composite LED taillight assemblies and ornate metal exhaust outlet surrounds that indicate a performance-tuned four-cylinder under the hood. Expect much of the concept's design language to influence the future Corolla production models, which by that time, 100% of Corolla's sold in the U.S. will be built in North America.

  • 08 February 2012: 2012 MCLAREN MP4-12C: Known for impressive racing cars, McLaren has released their second-ever roadgoing automobile, the magnificent McLaren MP4-12C. Appearing at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show, the mid-engine, two passenger sports car creates 592 horsepower and 443 lb. ft. of torque from the 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 engine. All that power is directed to the 20-inch rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. Weight-saving is an obsession at McLaren, starting with the compact downsized engine, which is combined with the new one-piece MonoCell cabon fiber composite chassis. The close position of the driver and passenger allows for a narrower, lighter body while giving improved visibility with a clearer perception of the car’s extremities. Inside the cockpit, the airbags, steering column and a significant number of interior components all mount to a single one-piece pressure die cast magnesium beam that is 75 percent lighter than steel. With its low rate of weight to high horsepower/torque, the McLaren MP4-12C is capable of 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds, and can reach 205 mph top speed, all for an MSRP of $229,000.

Depending on the powerplant, a six-speed manual gearbox and seven- or eight-speed automatic transmissions are to be had. All Z4 models enjoy a two-place cockpit and power-retractable hardtop standard.

The rear is also fitted with fog lamps, repeating the fading dot matrix pattern of the front fog lamps.

The interior of the LF-LC expresses a feeling of both openness and security, with the driver enveloped by deeply scooped side panels and a high, curved console.
