Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Sideswipe Concept 2009

The Corvette Stingray Concept was developed as an internal design challenge to combine classic Corvette cues wîth surprisingly high-tech features, modern materials, and a striking new appearance.

The design is influenced by the original Stingray race car, introduced in 1959, but also draws on Corvette heritage cues from other generations. It brings them together in a futuristic shape that seems to be equal parts racecar and space ship.

Standard features on the 2.7-liter Venza include 19-inch alloy wheels, auto on/off headlights, rear privacy glass, dual-zone automatic climate control, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, power driver seat, reclining and folding 60/40 rear seat, auto-dimming rearview mirror, universal garage-door opener, cruise control, trip computer and a six-speaker stereo with in-dash six-CD changer and auxiliary audio jack.

All feature a six-speed automatic. The 2.7-liter four-cylinder produces 182 horsepower and 182 pound-feet of torque. Estimated fuel economy with this engine and front-wheel drive is 21 mpg city/29 mpg highway; all-wheel drive drops those numbers by 1 mpg.

S3 Sportback Audi

The Audi S3 Sportback is a coherent driving machine. The six-speed manual transmission, which is also described by its high capability, is closely spaced with lessened shift travel.
The new Audi S3 Sportback and the three-door S3 also appear even sharper. These two dynamic high-flyers can be identified at first brief look thanks to a range of sharp lines - on the roof spoiler and the side sills, for example.
