Chevrolet has teamed up with 15 times American Motorcycle Association champion Ricky Carmichael to crete the Sonic All Activity Vehicle – Ricky Carmichael Concept for the 2011 SEMA show.
The five-door sub-compact concept benefits from a Thule roof rack with an S-Works mountain bike and a Hyperlite wakeboard mounted on top. These are the key features that in combination with the matte black paintwork and bold green graphics give it a distinctive look.
“The car looks so cool, colorful and fun to drive,” said Carmichael. “It really represents my desire to have fun when I’m off the track. The Sonic would be a perfect vehicle for someone who wants to get the most out of their time.”
Other custom features for the exterior include a set of wheels and splash guards, a Z-spec grille and a body kit that adds ground effects.
Not much has been done to the 1.4-liter under the bonnet with the exception of a Borla exhaust. The standard brakes have also been swapped for Brembo ones.
Inside, you have flat-bottom steering wheel, aluminum gear lever, Z-spec pedal kit and some all-weather floor mats so you don’t have to worry about what you bring inside the car.
“The elements and components used to create it are largely based on accessories available for the Sonic, as well as other aftermarket parts,” said GM design director Dave Ross. “While this is a car created with and for Ricky Carmichael, new Sonic customers could easily create their own special all-activities vehicle.”
