The first rear-wheel drive Chevrolet sedan since 1996 is getting closer to becoming reality. At the ongoing Los Angeles Auto Show, the American automaker pulled the curtains from over the 2013 Chevrolet SS race car that will enter the NASCAR series next year.
The SS will be sold late next year as a limited production car that’s actually based on the Holden VG Commodore, equipped with the usual V8 motor and producing somewhere in the region of 400 horsepower.
"As a passionate race fan, the debut of the SS NASCAR race car is a genuinely exciting moment for me,” said GM North America President Mark Reuss during the presentation of the car in Las Vegas.
"With the SS, Chevrolet is delivering a true rear-wheel-drive NASCAR race car that is very closely linked to the performance sedan that will be available for sale, ensuring that our most loyal enthusiasts will have the opportunity to experience the same thrill every day on the open road that our race car drivers enjoy on the track on race day," he added.
