All new Corvette Z06, Mercedes-AMG SL and Range Rover ...
There have been several major releases this week. The most highly anticipated of the trio featured today is undoubtedly the Chevrolet Corvette Z06. Based on the mid-engined, eighth generation Corvette, it is actually more closely related to the C8.R competition car than to the 'regular' Stingray. Accordingly, it is powered by a quad-cam, naturally aspirated, 5.5-litre V8 that produces 670 bhp and a staggering 8,700 rpm. All this power is sent to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox. Production of the Corvette Z06 will commence in the summer of 2022 at the Bowling Green factory.
Today, the all-new, seventh incarnation of the Mercedes-Benz SL was introduced. It will be available as a Mercedes-AMG model only with the range topping version available at the launch being the 576 bhp the SL 63 4MATIC+. Whereas the previous generation model featured a foldable hard-top, the new 'R232' has a classic soft-top, which helps keep the kerb weight under 2,000 kg.
Another classic icon that has been completely redone is the Range Rover. It features new styling and is now powered by a choice of BMW-sourced engines. Hybrid and electric versions are also due to be introduced in the next couple of years. In addition to being a proper road car, the latest Range Rover also promises to perform equally well on looser surfaces.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
