Chevrolet SS fills hole nicely

Chevrolet promised some time ago an old, rear-wheel drive sedan power based on an Australian Holden.

The car is called 'SS' and to traditional American recipe on the rear wheels powered by a V8. Which in this case is 6.2 liters and produces 415 hp.

That makes for a sprint to 60 mph (96 km / h) in about five seconds. Obviously the driver does not have to turn, a six-speed automatic take that job on. Brembo brakes bring the whole thing to a standstill if necessary, a 50/50 weight distribution also ensures, in theory, a good cornering.

No Surprise
The appearance of the car is no surprise, because apart from the front, there is no difference with the Holden Commodore on which it is based. General Motors President Mark Reuss takes the Chevrolet SS a very welcome newcomer: "Chevrolet is largely grown thanks to fast rear wheel drive sedans, and yet it's been 17 years since we had such a model in the range. This SS fills that gap nicely.

In line with the character of the car was introduced last weekend at the Daytona International Speedway during the NASCAR race where the racing version of the Chevrolet SS debuts. We do not expect this somewhat uneconomical car through the official channel to Europe will come.
