The Volkswagen Golf GTI is not what we'd call fast, but is it fast enough to challenge a C8-generation Chevy Corvette Z06? This matchup from Hoonigan aims to find out through a drag race. But there's a catch: this is no ordinary Mk2 Golf GTI.
Order books are about to open for the 2024 Chevrolet Equinox EV, and that means we now have more information on prices, specs, and trim levels for the new electric compact SUV. Two different 2RS launch versions will arrive first, starting at $48,995, and the base model will begin reaching dealerships later with a lower starting price of $34,995. Chevy also upped its range estimate for the longest-range variant to 319 miles. The launch versions of the Equinox will start at $48,995 for the 210-hp front-wheel-drive 2RS version and $52,395 for the 290-hp all-wheel-drive 2RS version. These models will come standard with equipment including a 17.7-inch touchscreen, a power tailgate, heated front seats, and 21-inch wheels. Chevy also previousl
The 1960s flat-nose van was once a ubiquitous sight, although they were such workaday vehicles that they may have been largely invisible when new. Although passenger configurations were offered, most led a working-van's life, which is why so few survived. Those that did often succumbed to the sin-bin van phase of the 1970s. This '65 Chevy somehow survived and has been treated to a sharp-looking restoration with only mild modifications. It's a smooth-looking box that's ready to turn heads advertising someone's small business or simply as a cool and practical classic. It's up for auction on Bring a Trailer, which like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos. Unlike the VW and Chevrolet's earlier Corvair van, both rear-engine, the G10's engine is located behind the front seats, under a «doghouse» cover. In this van, it's a 230-cubic-inch inline-six, which has been treated to some recent work. A custom exhaust system exits ahead of the rear wheels. The engine is paired with a column-shift three-speed manual and drives the rear wheels. The van sits slightly lower than stock and rolls on a set of chrome 17-inch wheels. The van has been de-
Off-roaders and 4x4s are all the rage these days, with pretty much every automaker producing at least one dirt-bound SUV. Last year, Flat Out Autos, an Arkansas-based restomod company, converted a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 into a Jimmy SUV for the 21st century. For this year's SEMA show, the same company tried its hand at a modern-day Chevy K5 Blazer. K5 Blazer Reborn Flat Out Autos named the new version the KR2—a clever mashup between the iconic K5 name and Chevy's newer off-road-focused ZR2 moniker. On the surface, the KR2 looks like a shortened and widened version of a 2023 Silverado because it is. Under the skin, the KR2 is a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 WT regular cab. For its custom build,
A pristinely restored Chevy Corvette Convertible is currently up for grabs, and it's one of the rarest among the existing classics because of its color and V8 engine combination.

Chevrolet has built the final supercharged LT4 V8 engine destined for the 2024 Camaro ZL1 before it goes out of production.
Internal combustion might as well be wizardry to me. I have a basic idea of how engines work and I've been wrenching on them since I was a teenager, so I get the gist of it, but my feeble brain still turns to a bowl of mush every time I think deeply about the nitty-gritty details. This is why I love demonstration videos such as this one, which shows howinternal combustion works through a transparent engine block and head.
