Show Spotlight: Chevrolet SS
Chevy’s first V-8 rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since the mid-1990s, the SS is a street stallion with racing DNA. “The Chevrolet brand was largely built on the strength of rear-drive performance sedans, yet it’s been 17 years since we’ve offered one,†said Mark Reuss, president of General Motors North America. “The all-new Chevrolet SS fills that void and fills it better than any other vehicle in the brand’s rich history.â€
This beauty proves that four doors and “for fun†are no longer mutually exclusive; while its roomy rear seat goes beyond the call of duty, the SS boasts a thrusting V-8 motor and racetrack-ready handling, due in large part to 50/50 weight distribution, a low center of gravity and StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control. Bolting from 0 to 60 in around five seconds, the SS is one of the swiftest sedans on the street — good thing its burly Brembo brakes come standard.
