United Kingdom 2010 Range Rover SE Td6 Zermatt Silver
New Corvette Stingray



It will sell in relatively small numbers even in the US, and right-hand-drive production is still only a strong rumour, but the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray was undoubtedly one of the stars of the show.

The seventh generation of the Corvette gets a sharper look that was adjudged a success by showgoers, even if some of its styling cues did look like they were designed around the same time as the Ferrari 599 first appeared.

The rest of the recipe, though, is likely to appeal to purists, with a lightweight aluminium construction, a seven-speed manual transmission and a fresh version of General Motors' venerable small-block V8 petrol engine. It produces 450bhp and 450lb ft, enough for a 0-60mph time of less than four seconds.

It's likely to remain an oddity in the UK, but that isn't likely to stop Chevrolet from trying to sell it here. Expect it to go on sale later this year, in left-hand drive form, for around £50,000.

An 'American Finish' is sunny side up and with cheese.
