Badass Chevrolet Matiz Track Racer with Corvette Z06 7.0-liter V8 up for Sale

This is one Chevrolet Matiz you surely won't be making any fun of; and how could you after you learn that engineers somehow squeezed a massive Corvette Z06-sourced 7.0-liter V8 that develops anywhere from 505 to 550-horses (depending on who you ask) into its miniscule body.
We remember showing you a V8-powered Matiz racecar concept back in early 2009 (see the videos after the break) , and unless someone else had the same crazy idea, we believe that this car found for sale on eBay Germany by CarScoop reader "CobraV8" is the same one with the addition of a racing livery.

Chevrolet's SEMA Show Trio of Classic and New Camaro Project Cars

In addition to the production 2013 Camaro Hot Wheels Edition that was unwrapped on Monday, Chevrolet will show six more Camaro models at the SEMA Show that opens today in Las Vegas, though, for the time being, we only get pictures of three of them.

Next Chevrolet Camaro Futuristically Envisioned by Design Student

We still have a few years ahead of us until General Motors pulls the wraps off its next generation Chevrolet Camaro that will go head-to-head with the new Mustang currently being prepared by Ford for launch in 2014, something that gives design students the opportunity to dream up their own vision of the car.

Arkadiy Okhman, a software engineer who decided to go back to school to become an automobile designer, and who is currently a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, came up with this, rather overly futuristic, proposal for a next generation Camaro.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7: A Different Design Perspective

Ladies and Gentlemen, what you see here is in fact NOT the much talked about 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7. Though don't worry as there is one coming; Chevrolet is about to unleash its next installment of hyper transport to the world by 2013.

Now, some of you may or may not have seen the many C7 Corvette CGI drawings and videos floating in cyberspace. Supposedly, some of the renderings were based on leaked sources revealing the real thing, although being fair; they all show a nice evolution of the current C6 Vette.

All this has me slightly worried; the current car has been with us since 2005 and deserving of a major design overhaul. Would a simple evolution go far enough?

eBay Seller Accepting Deposits on…2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7

The eBay is a wonderful place to look around and do some online shopping, just as long as you don't get duped… Fortunately, there are some telltale signs that can help you separate the real deals from the duds.

As pointed out by Motorauthority that discovered a vendor on eBay accepting a deposit on the yet to be revealed, let alone produced, 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7, the seller named 'shawn4842 'appears to be a private party and not a dealership.

We're going to add that the photos escorting the sale are illustrations made by artist Radovan Varicak for Car&Driver and do not depict the real car – something that should raise another red flag.

2015 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe Design Study: What do Think?

There is a debate going on right now, as to whether Chevrolet designers should make the next Camaro coupe, expected to be introduced in 2015, look more like a first-generation model (1967-1969) or the second-generation version built from 1970 to 1981.

But what if GM and Chevrolet were to take a different path and create something with very few, if any, retro touches?
