Chevrolet has released some new details about the Eight-speed automatic transmission in the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Scheduled to replace the six-speed unit, the new Eight-speed enables the Corvette to travel north to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and does the quarter-mile in 11.9 seconds; a difference of 0.1 seconds compared to the outgoing gear box. Besides the improvements in 0-60 mph times, the Corvette is more fuel efficient as models equipped with the Eight-speed automatic transmission will carry an EPA rating of 16 mile per gallon city / 26 mile per gallon highway / 20 mile per gallon on the combined cycle ( United States). As part of the changes, the Eight-speed transmission has a more aggressive first gear ratio which helps improve off - the - line performance, while having the "world-class shift times that rivals the best dual-clutch design" 

Aston Martin has applied for the trademarks of the DB10 all through to DB14 in preparation for the next DB series model scheduled for 2016 launch reports the British Motor magazine  Autocar. The replacement for the DB9 which will feature a twin turbo AMG V8 engine and a new design, is scheduled to go on sale in 2016, although the name has not been decided yet. Although the trademark for DB14 was filed first, but it is speculated that the next DB9 will be called DB10. while it is reported that some company executives within Aston Martin still want to keep the DB9 for the new car, it will be recalled that it is a tradition at Aston Martin to move forward the numerical denomination of its model names to indicate the design and performance advances made by its newest models.
