Chevrolet Corvette
The Chevrolet Corvette is a sports car by the Chevrolet division of General Motors (GM) that has been produced in seven generations. The first model, a convertible, was designed by Harley Earl and introduced at the GM Motorama in 1953 as a concept show car. Myron Scott is credited for naming the car after the type of small, maneuverable warship called a corvette. Originally built in Flint, Michigan and St. Louis, Missouri, the Corvette is currently manufactured in Bowling Green, Kentucky and is the official sports car of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
A Corvette has been used as the Indianapolis 500 pace car 12 times.

New Racing car 2018 | Genovation GXE Corvette The 800 HP $750,000 Green Hypercar
On the occasion of the Genovation GXE Corvette's official coming-out party at CES 2018, we sat down with the folks responsible for turning politely powerful Corvette Grand Sports into positively pugilistic 800-hp, 700-lb-ft electric record-breakers to learn a bit more about how they did it. Here are the nitty-gritty details behind this $750,000 green hypercar.
The project started four years ago, when the chassis folks at Dana gifted the Rockville, Maryland-based Genovation team an aluminum chassis for a C6 Corvette with the only stipulation being you can't put a gas engine in it. They started shopping around at various trade shows in search of the suppliers best able to help them transform the Corvette into an electric car capable of breaking speed records. They ended up with AMRacing motors (two of them mount up front, twisting the same shaft) and power inverters from Rinehart Motion Systems (both from Oregon). These are fed by a 61-kW-hr battery pack from Lithos Energy under the direction of powertrain control systems designed by from Stafl Systems (both from the Bay Area). The cylindrical-style batteries utilize nickel-cobalt-aluminum/nickel-cobalt-manganese chemistry optimized for power delivery rather than energy density. Genovation's latest computer simulations predict an EPA range of 175 miles (so long as those miles don't probe the car's 209-mph EV speed record or claimed sub-3-second 0-60 performance).
The batteries are arrayed in a horseshoe shape around the front motors (which nestle beneath the two inverters that are visible through the hood's Plexiglas window), in the central tunnel, and under the raised trunk floor behind the seats. The operating voltage is 700-800 volts, and charging via the 10-kW onboard charger and SAE J1772 plug takes 7 hours. The fact that the operating voltage is higher than that of most DC fast chargers presents a challenge for fast charging at the moment. The powertrain is heated and cooled by three cooling loops, with direct oil cooling of the permanent-magnet motors.
Now, about those performance claims. The GXE Corvette is rear-wheel drive, but it's way lighter than a Tesla, and its (stock Z06 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2) rear tires are wider, so Genovation says it can approach dual-motor Tesla Ludicrous rates of acceleration. Testing to date has been on the six-speed C6 prototype, which retains the Corvette's stock transaxle and gearing but features a reinforced differential.
The optimal launch speed is 2,500 rpm in second gear, with upshifts occurring at a very gas-Corvette-like 6,500 rpm—well shy of the motor's 10,000-rev limit. The motors enter a constant-power regime beyond that point, so there's no reason to press on. Wheelspin is a big issue until fourth gear, and the traction management programming is all Genovation's. A shift light indicates the optimal rpm, which can vary as the state of charge and nominal voltage drop.
The 209-hp speed record was measured on February 16 at Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds located at Space Florida's Shuttle Landing Facility, Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island Florida, establishing a new land speed record for street-legal electric cars. Genovation actually claims a top speed of 220 mph on longer tracks than Kennedy's.
The production car is obviously based on the C7 Corvette and will hence feature the seven-speed manual or eight-speed automatic. Genovation retains all the stock safety systems and onboard LAN communications bus but adds a dedicated CAN bus to connect the 11 control modules and the bespoke instrumentation, which includes a Volvo-esque vertical touchscreen. Genovation also adds a Harman ultra-high-fidelity sound system and its own navigation and 4G LTE Wi-Fi system. Over-the-air updates will be offered. The Corvette's stock CAN bus is fed just enough information to trick it into thinking there's a perfectly functioning powertrain onboard. Stafl surely had fun making all of this work.
For packaging reasons primarily, the composite leaf springs are removed in favor of a set of DSC Sport adjustable coil-over shock units. Carbon-fiber wheels are from Carbon Revolution (Ford GT and Shelby GT350) and shave 10 pounds of unsprung rotating mass per corner.
Interested customers must bring a new (or very gently used) C7 Corvette Grand Sport to Genovation (which recommends a build combination that ensures you don't pay for optional items.

Watch Christian Bale Burn Rubber in ‘Ford v Ferrari’ | Anatomy of a Scene
How do you go about recreating a 24-hour auto race for a movie? If you’re the director James Mangold, meticulously.
His latest film, “Ford v Ferrari,” takes place in the mid-1960s as the Ford Motor Company is trying to come up with a car that can beat out Ferrari in the Le Mans auto race. The American executives bring on the car designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon) and the driver Ken Miles (Christian Bale) to aid in that task.
This scene takes place at the beginning of the 1966 edition of the race as Miles is preparing. Narrating the sequence, Mangold said that he wanted to use the camera following Miles down a hallway and then out to the track as a technique to reveal the spectacle of the race, with overwhelming crowds and a heightened energy.
The race starts the same way Le Mans used to actually begin, with the drivers standing across the track from their cars, then running over and leaping into the vehicles before pulling out. Mangold said the moment, captured in one shot, was a challenge to coordinate but was important to give a sense of authenticity to the scene.
He said he shot as much of the action as possible with real cars and stunt drivers, using visual effects not as much for the racing moments, but more to populate the stands so the production wouldn’t need 20,000 extras each day.
