For decades,
the Chevrolet "bowtie" has labeled spirited, functional cars and
trucks. The SSR (super sport roadster) captures Chevy’s rich heritage
in a new kind of crossover vehicle with an open air sports car feel
and unparalleled storage and flexibility.
The SSR dons
a power retractable hardtop, revealing an interior offering three-passenger
capability. This is achieved through an innovative execution of
the bench seat and integration of the shifter in the steering wheel,
rather than the traditional floor position.
In a fresh
interpretation of renowned Chevy styling
cues, the SSR
incorporates a unique full-width grille bar, wide stance and distinct
wheel oriented forms. It has decidedly contemporary architecture
-- the cab, fenders and bed are so well integrated that they appear
to be one. To create a harmonious design, the exterior color wraps
into the interior, and the doors and instrument panel have a clean,
sculptural flow.
The roadster
is more than striking in appearance. This high performance, functional
crossover vehicle boasts a longitudinal V8, rear-wheel drive powertrain.
The pickup bed in the back provides exceptional utility. "The SSR
will appeal to enthusiasts of all ages," said Ed Welburn, director
of Corporate Brand Character Center. "The design draws you in, and
the performance keeps you there."
