Chevrolet: un prototipo radicale ed un nuovo Diesel per il modello Epica L’affascinante prototipo da competizione WTCC Ultra è la principale novità portata da Chevrolet Europe al Salone dell’Automobile di Parigi. Questa vettura già perfettamente funzionante (lunga 4.325mm; larga 1.905 mm; alta 1.570 mm) estremizza il linguaggio stilistico Chevrolet ed utilizza l’immagine del Campionato Mondiale Turismo come esempio dello spirito stesso di Chevrolet e della storia dell’automobilismo sportivo. “Aggressiva, muscolosa e spettacolare” sono le parole che meglio descrivono il design di questo concept. Linee tese contrastano con superfici più naturali e fluide. Le fiancate sono studiate per slanciare all’indietro le porte anteriori, dando maggiore velocità alla vettura e bilanciandone l’estetica. Il bordo inferiore dei finestrini sale rapidamente in modo molto originale e l’andamento della linea di cintura attira l’attenzione sulla parte anteriore ed inferiore della fiancata, contribuendo a dare ulteriore slancio alla parte anteriore. Moderni materiali leggeri sono utilizzati per contenere quanto più possibile il peso del prototipo WTCC Ultra che è equipaggiato con un 2.000 turbodiesel da 190 CV. La carrozzeria di colore “Stealth Blue” è realizzata in fibra di vetro e laminato di fibra di carbonio. Le appendici aerodinamiche anteriori e posteriori, così come il fondo piatto della vettura da corsa sono in fibra di carbonio, mentre le maniglie delle porte ed altri dettagli sono in alluminio lucido. La nuova Chevrolet Epica turbodiesel viene anch’essa proposta per la prima volta agli addetti ai lavori ed al pubblico in occasione del Salone di Parigi. Questa berlina di classe media, che arriverà sul mercato a Primavera 2007, è equipaggiata con un turbodiesel common-rail di 2.000 cc che sviluppa 150 CV (110 kW) e ha una coppia massima di 32,6 kgm (320 Nm) a 2.000 giri/minuto. Ad esso è abbinato, di serie, un cambio manuale a 5 marce, ma è ottenibile anche un trasmissione automatica. La nuova Epica turbodiesel raggiunge i 100 km/h con partenza da fermo in 9.7 secondi (automatica: 10.1 secondi) ed una velocità massima di 201 km/h (automatica: 208 km/h). Nonostante le brillanti prestazioni, il consumo di gasolio resta molto contenuto: 6,1 litri ogni 100 chilometri, secondo il ciclo misto (automatica: 7,7 litri). Opel: la nuova Antara ed il prototipo CorsaVan in anteprima mondiale La versione definitiva della nuova Opel Antara è esposta in anteprima mondiale al Salone dell’Automobile di Parigi. Questo crossover dai raffinati contenuti tecnologici, adatto all’uso quotidiano ed al tempo libero, unisce una linea sportiva ed elegante con una trazione integrale a gestione elettronica e un ottimo comportamento su strada. Al tempo stesso il nuovo crossover della Casa tedesca del gruppo General Motors si segnala per grande abitabilità, contenute dimensioni esterne, innovative soluzioni per il trasporto (come il sistema Flex-Fix), grande funzionalità e posizione di guida rialzata. La nuova Opel Antara sarà inizialmente disponibile con un motore 2.400 benzina da 140 CV (103 kW/), con 3.200-V6 sempre a benzina da 227 CV (167 kW) e con un 2.000 turbodiesel common-rail da 150 CV (110 kW), ma nel giro di pochi mesi arriverà anche una versione da 127 CV (93 kW). Entrambi i turbodiesel http://www.duemotori.com/news/notizie_auto/8267_Anteprime_mondiali_Chevrolet_... 02/10/2006 Novità auto: Anteprime mondiali: Chevrolet WTCC Ultra Concept ed Opel Antara Pagina 3 di 5 saranno dotati di serie di un filtro anti-particolato che non richiede alcuna manutenzione. Immagine sportiva, interni di alta qualità e grande capacità di carico caratterizzano il prototipo CorsaVan che Opel presenta per la prima volta proprio in occasione del Salone di Parigi. Realizzato sulla base della nuova Corsa 3 porte, questo prototipo mostra chiaramente come l’immagine dinamica della nuova Corsa potrebbe essere trasferita in un veicolo da trasporto urbano. La carrozzeria è verniciata in un colore rosso lucente, ma i pannelli laterali, che sostituiscono i finestrini posteriori, sono realizzati in nero per creare un forte elemento di contrasto. Altri dettagli molto sportivi sono le pinze dei freni anteriori di colore rosso, le ruote in lega da 17 pollici con disegno a 5 raggi ed alcune componenti OPC-line come i paraurti, le bandelle laterali sottoporta e lo spoiler posteriore. Questo prototipo monta un 1.300 turbodiesel common-rail da 90 CV. L’assetto sportivo ribassato e l’adozione dello sterzo variabile progressivo della nuova Corsa Sport garantiscono un ottimo comportamento su strada. La nuova Opel Corsa è esposta anch’essa a Parigi, a brevissima distanza dall’inizio della sua commercializzazione, fissata per il mese di Ottobre. E’ stata realizzata in due versioni con carrozzeria a 3 ed a 5 porte, volutamente molto differenti tra di loro, che si rivolgono a clienti altrettanto differenti. La quarta generazione di questo modello punta soprattutto su una linea molto gradevole, caratterizzata da un profilo marcatamente sportivo, sull’inedito autotelaio studiato per conferirle un comportamento su strada dinamico e maneggevole, sull’alta qualità degli interni che si segnalano per la notevole abitabilità e la sensazione di benessere che offrono a tutti gli occupanti. La nuova Corsa presenta poi novità di alto contenuto tecnologico come i fari ad illuminazione dinamica della curva, il volante riscaldabile, il servosterzo varabile progressivo (Corsa Sport) ed una serie di intelligenti proposte come il sistema Flex-Fix. La nuova Opel Corsa sarà disponibile con tre motori a benzina e due turbodiesel common-rail, tutti a 4 valvole per cilindro, con potenze comprese tra 60 CV e 90 CV e cilindrate da 1.000 cc a 1.400 cc. Un nuovo 1.700 turbodiesel common-rail da 125 CV con filtro anti-particolato di serie si aggiungerà a breve termine. Cadillac: in anteprima europea la versione 2007 del crossover SRX con interni rinnovati e trazione posteriore a richiesta Con la versione 2007 del crossover SRX, Cadillac prende a prestito una pagina del suo ricco ed elegante passato. Il nuovo modello, il cui arrivo in Europa è previsto per l’inizio del 2007, è lungo 4,95 metri e caratterizzato da lussuosi interni completamente rinnovati che uniscono tecnologie d’avanguardia all’accuratezza d’esecuzione di esperti artigiani. I rivestimenti di componenti come la plancia, la console centrale ed i pannelli porta sono tagliati, cuciti ed applicati per lo più a mano. Ciò ha permesso di conferire agli interni un aspetto di alta classe. Il rinnovato abitacolo di Cadillac SRX è ancora più accogliente e lussuoso: ci sono superfici più morbide, nuovi interruttori e comandi montati a filo, un maggior numero di porta-oggetti. Il nuovo design interno comprende un pratico porta-oggetti “nascosto” sul lato destro della plancia strumenti.

  • Chevrolet Debuts Mid-Engine C8.R for Next Racing Season the Corvette Race Car Shows Off Its New Colors and Clean Sheet Design Built on Enhanced Technology Transfer
    October 16th 2019 Chevrolet Debuts Mid-Engine C8.R for Next Racing Season The Corvette race car shows off its new colors and clean sheet design built on enhanced technology transfer BRASELTON, Ga. — Chevrolet begins a new chapter in its storied racing legacy with the introduction of the new mid-engine Corvette race car, known as the C8.R. The C8.R will be Chevrolet’s first mid-engine race car to compete in IMSA’s GTLM class and the first clean sheet race car design since the C5.R debuted in 1999. It will make its racing debut at Rolex 24 at Daytona on Jan. 25, 2020. The C8.R is based on the strong foundation of the 2020 Corvette Stingray. There is a deeper level of technology transfer between the race car and production Corvette than ever before, which helps contribute to many of its advancements. As a result, the C8.R shares the highest percentage of parts between the production and race car than any previous generation. “It was important for us to develop the new race car alongside the production car, so that each product could properly take advantage of the new architecture,” said Ed Piatek, Corvette chief engineer. “The benefits of this mid-engine supercar, including its incredible balance and connected-to-the-road feel, will be obvious on the street and the track.” Engineered for the Racing Environment Since certain features of the 2020 Corvette Stingray aren’t necessary in a racing environment, the engineering and design teams found innovative ways to get benefits out of every part of the vehicle.

  • 100 Chevy Factoids
    Chevrolet Centennial Timeline History of Chevy 1. Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant co-founded the Chevrolet Motor Company on November 3, 1911. Chevy celebrates its 100th birthday on November 3, 2011. 2. A seasoned automobile racer and highly respected self-taught engineer, Louis Chevrolet was born in Switzerland on Dec. 25, 1878 and moved to France with his family as a child. He immigrated to North America in 1900. By 1902, his younger brothers, Arthur and Gaston, had joined him. As early as 1905, Louis Chevrolet was winning notice as a fearless driver of the brutally primitive racing cars of the period. He became a member of William C. Durant's famed Buick racing team in 1909. Working with a designer in a rented loft in Detroit during 1910, Louis Chevrolet began to lay out the plans for the prototype car that would bear his name. 3. The grandson of an early Michigan governor, William C. “Billy” Durant was born in 1861. By the 1890s, he was a highly successful manufacturer of horse-drawn carts that were distributed globally. Durant moved into auto manufacturing when business associates convinced him to manage the fledgling Buick Motor Co. late in 1904. Spectacular success at Buick gave him the wherewithal to found General Motors in 1908. Durant added Cadillac, Oldsmobile, Oakland and other brands to the GM roster, before a 1910 banking crisis forced him out. 4. Looking to build a new automobile after leaving GM, the irrepressible Billy Durant made a deal with Louis Chevrolet to produce the well-known racer’s dream car.

  • For Release: Wednesday
    July 19th 2019 CHEVROLET INTRODUCES FIRST-EVER MID-ENGINE CORVETTE The next generation Stingray is the fastest, most powerful entry Corvette ever TUSTIN, Calif. — Today, Chevrolet fulfills the long-term promise of the iconic Corvette with the introduction of the new Stingray, the brand’s first-ever production mid-engine Corvette. The sum of everything that came before it, the new Stingray is re-imagined to bring customers new levels of performance, technology, craftsmanship and luxury. From front- to mid-engine, in under three seconds “Corvette has always represented the pinnacle of innovation and boundary-pushing at GM. The traditional front-engine vehicle reached its limits of performance, necessitating the new layout,” said GM President Mark Reuss. “In terms of comfort and fun, it still looks and feels like a Corvette, but drives better than any vehicle in Corvette history. Customers are going to be thrilled with our focus on details and performance across the board.” The new mid-engine layout gives the new Stingray: • Better weight distribution, with the rear weight bias enhancing performance in a straight line and on the track. • Better responsiveness and sense of control due to driver positioning closer to the front axle, almost on top of the front wheels. • The fastest 0-60 mph time of any entry Corvette ever — approximately three seconds when equipped with Z51 package. • A race car-like view of the road due to lower positioning of the hood, instrument panel and steering wheel. Excellent forward sightlines throughout the vehicle for both driver and passenger. • An enhancement of Corvette’s traditional utility strengths, with dual trunks for a total of 357 liters (12.6 cubic feet) of cargo volume, ideal for luggage or two sets of golf clubs.
