It might be pushing 100 years of existence, but Chevrolet is showing no signs of aging any time soon. The iconic American carmaker is making its return to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year, bringing with it a larger stand to mark is 100th birthday – and a whole host of treats for the visiting public.
Together with the brand’s new 2011 models, the Orlando, New Captiva and Cruze 5-dr, Chevrolet will also be showcasing a number of iconic cars, both new and old. The Volt extended range electric vehicle, which was named 2011 USA Car of the Year, will also be making its presence felt as part of its UK debut at the festival.
American performance machines like the Camaro and Corvette will be displayed against a fascinating backdrop – a journey through Chevrolet’s history in the form of a road trip, with a distinct Americana theme. Iconic models from the company’s past will also play a big part at the festival.
“What better way could there be to celebrate our brand’s centenary than to do so at the world’s finest celebration of motoring? The Goodwood Festival of Speed is as much of an icon as Chevrolet itself, and we’re proud to be such a significant part of this year’s event,” said Chevrolet UK Managing Director, Mark Terry.
The company’s winning 2010 British Touring Car Championship team will also arrive on the scene, so expect to see at least one of the BTCC Cruzes attacking the Goodwood hill.
