  • Coachbuilt Karvajal Designs ZX-1 C6 Corvette

    Newly formed coachbuilder Karvajal Designs has made a big splash with its inaugural custom-designed Corvette presented at the New York Auto Show today.

    Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 Turbo dyno results

Optimized in a wind tunnel, the new spoiler is made from exposed carbon fiber and is both...
