2022 Chevrolet Corvette delivered to 95-year World War II veteran

The corona virus pandemic and the strike are the reasons for the delays in the delivery of the 2022 Chevrolet Corvette. That’s why Chevrolet has made a waiting list. Chevrolet has announced good news for the 95-year-old World War II veteran. Because of his merits in the war, Bobbie Carson was moved to eighth place on the waiting list and already got his car.

As a big Corvette fan who has had seven models so far, this will be his eighth model. The white car was delivered to him at the National Corvette Museum just 30 days after he ordered it.

The Chevrolet Corvette will be powered by a 6.2-liter LT2 V8 engine with 495 hp (364 kW) and 470 lb-ft (637 Nm) of torque. This makes it the most powerful production of Stingray ever. The engine is paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. Reaches 62 mph in 3 seconds with a top speed of 194 mph (312 km / h).

The average life expectancy in the U.S. is 77.8 years, and Carson at 95 looks very good. His cars are not parked in the garage. He drives them every day in Georgia, and so it will be with the new one.

The U.S. government is ordering 10 special SUVs for $ 36.4 million

The U.S. government has decided to start changing the existing fleet of vehicles with 10 special Chevrolet SUVs.

If you think these Suburban are too expensive, things are somewhat clarified by GM Defense. Due to increased load requirements and total weight as a result of numerous modifications, the vehicles get a new, firmer separate chassis, just as real SUVs and Heavy Duty vehicles. Also, cars will be equipped with special components, from the engine and brakes, all the way to the interior elements.

According to GM Defense President Steve duMont, GM will deliver Heavy Duty Suburban for Diplomatic Security Services with advanced mobility solutions to meet their needs.

This is only part of the continuation of further cooperation. Over the course of nine years, beginning in 2023, GM Defense will deliver 200 special Suburban to the U.S. government.

The biggest unknown is the power of the car. The current administration is committed to electrifying state-owned vehicles, and GM Defense already has adequate electric drives, including hydrogen ones. We can assume that these 10 vehicles will be electrified, otherwise they could use a 6.2 V8 engine with 420 hp (309 kW) and 460 lb-ft (624 Nm) of torque.

The price of these 10 cars is a staggering $ 36.4 million.
