Chevrolet gets back to ‘Win On Sunday, Sell On Monday’ strategy with track & traffic versions of latest SS.
Chevrolet has listened to enthusiasts and announced today the return of a V-8 powered, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan: Chevrolet SS. The SS will also be Chevrolet’s next NASCAR Sprint Cup racecar and will debut at the 2013 Daytona 500. The limited production street version of the SS will be a 2014 model and will arrive in late-2013. It is the first time in 17 years that Chevrolet will offer the public a rear-wheel-drive sedan for sale in the United States.
Chevrolet has a long history of using the SS (Super Sport) designation on high-performance models of some of its iconic nameplates. The SS designation first appeared in 1957 on a Corvette prototype racecar built under the guidance of Corvette Godfather, Zora Arkus-Duntov.
The first production vehicle offered with an SS option was the 1961 Impala – 453 were built with the performance upgrades which included a modified chassis and suspension, power brakes, a steering column mounted tachometer and unique wheels and tires. The latest SS model in the Chevrolet lineup is the fifth-generation Camaro, which debuted in 2010. The Chevrolet SS will be a derivative of the global rear-wheel-drive architecture showcased on the Camaro and Holden’s upcoming VF Commodore.
