Opel's models are emotional, efficient, already mostly electrified – and at the same time the Rüsselsheim-based carmaker is well aware of its rich brand heritage. The new Opel Vizor brand face, inspired by the front of the legendary Manta, is currently the most striking example. Those interested in finding out more about the vehicles from over 160 years of the company's history – including far more than 120 years of automobile manufacturing tradition – can simply go online and click through the extensive Opel Classic collection. This collection is now becoming even more extensive. Three new topics have been added to the virtual 360-degree tours: "Concepts & Studies", "Touring Cars" and "The Golden Sixties".
"Opel has always combined innovation with tradition to develop cars that are full of cutting- edge technologies and at the same time evoke emotions. With the three new virtual tours, visitors can now dive even deeper into the Opel world. Thereby, they will learn many exciting facts or even some well-kept 'secrets' about studies, sports cars and classic cars that have become true icons," said Opel Classic Director Leif Rohwedder.
Prototypes, concept cars and design studies spice up every classic car collection. At Opel, many of those mostly unique contemporary vehicles have survived. These include early exhibits such as an accurate replica of the 1938 Opel Kadett two-seater, which was developed at the time under the code name "Strolch" and can be considered the forefather of all sporty Kadett and Astra models. The Experimental GT is also legendary: the sports

Chevrolet has unleashed the unthinkable in the Corvette ZR1. The King of the Hill returns with the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer, mind-bending specs, and iconic design to challenge the world’s best supercars in both coupe and convertible variants.
• Corvette ZR1 features a 5.5L, twin-turbocharged DOHC flat-plane crank V8 engine dubbed the LT7.
• The LT7 engine produces 1,064 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 828 lb-ft (1123 Nm) of torque at 6,000 rpm, per SAE guidelines — the most power ever from a factory Corvette and the most powerful V8 ever produced in America from an auto manufacturer.
• Corvette ZR1 boasts a GM-estimated top speed of over 215 mph (346 Kph) on the racetrack and will dispatch the quarter mile with a GM-estimated sub-10-second time1.
• Purposeful carbon fiber aero package creates over 1,200 pounds (544 Kg) of downforce at top speed.
• ZR1 revives one of the most iconic styles in Corvette history: the split rear window.
“The team that revolutionized Corvette with a mid-engine architecture took on another challenge: take ZR1 to the next level,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Chevrolet. “Corvette ZR1 is about pushing the envelope with raw power and cutting-edge innovation. From Stingray, to Z06, E-Ray, and now ZR1, the Corvette family continues to elevate with each new iteration — and challenge the best in the world.”

The automotive world is abuzz with the announcement that Lanzante, the renowned vehicle specialist known for transforming track-focused machines into road-going marvels, is set to convert the Red Bull RB17 hypercar into a street-legal version. This ambitious project aims to bring Adrian Newey’s V-10 beast from the racetrack to the public roads, and while the challenge is daunting, Lanzante's track record suggests they are up for it. The Red Bull RB17, designed by the legendary Adrian Newey, is a testament to cutting-edge engineering and performance. The track-only version of the hypercar weighs a mere 1,984 pounds, making it lighter than a Mazda MX-5 Miata ND. Yet, despite its featherweight design, it boasts a staggering 1,200 horsepower. This immense power allows it to lap Silverstone a second quicker than a Formula 1 car, according to recent simulations.
