2014 Chevrolet SS: Performance Sedan with Racing DN
DAYTONA, Fla., Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013, 12:01 a.m. EST A
Chevrolet's first V-8, rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since 1996
the new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver performance on the stree
and on the track. The 2014 Chevrolet SS will debut this weekend at th
Daytona International Speedway as the SS racecar makes its NASCA
debut during the Daytona 500
"The Chevrolet brand was largely built on the strength o
rear-drive performance sedans, yet it's been 17 years since we'v
offered one," said Mark Reuss, president of General Motors Nort
America. "The all-new Chevrolet SS fills that void and fills i
better than any other vehicle in the brand's rich history. Th
comfort, convenience, spaciousness and V-8 power make the SS a tota
performance package unlike any other on the road today.
The Chevrolet SS benefits from the proven, race-tested, globa
rear-wheel drive architecture that is the foundation for the Camaro
Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle and Holden's VF Commodore
The Chevrolet SS is powered by the LS3 Chevrolet V-8, expected t
deliver 415 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Also used in the 201
Chevrolet Corvette, the LS3 displaces 6.2 liters, more than th
5.5-liter V-8 powering the Chevrolet SS NASCAR competitors
The LS3 is married to a six-speed automatic transmission, which can b
shifted manually using TAPshift paddles mounted on the steering wheel
With an aggressive 3.27 final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet S
accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds making it one o
the quickest sedans on the market
To ensure that it turns and stops as well as it accelerates; th
Chevrolet SS also features a sport-tuned chassis, including
MacPherson strut front and multilink independent rear suspensio
geometr
Electronic power steering system, optimized for sport drivin
Standard Brembo brakes, with ventilated, 355-mm rotors an
two-piece, four-piston front caliper
Forged aluminum wheels, wrapped in ultra-high-performanc
Bridgestone tires: 19 x 8.5 inch wheels with 245/40ZR19 tires i
front; 19 x 9.0 inch wheels with 275/35ZR19 tires rea
Handling is also improved by a near 50/50 weight distribution, and
low center of gravity made possible in part by the aluminum hood an
rear deck lid that are 30 percent lighter than traditional stee
panels
"Our goal was to create a car that delivers incredible grip an
handling balance while cornering, while still being comfortable t
drive on the road," said David Leone, executive chief engineer G
global programs. "The perfect weight balance and lower center o
gravity were a big part of that goal because it enabled the team t
tune for a more comfortable highway ride without sacrificing handlin
or driver confidence while cornering at the limits.
Similarly, the design of the SS blends performance cues and premiu
details
"From every angle, the Chevrolet SS says power an
performance," said John Cafaro design director Chevrole
passenger cars and small crossovers. "The combination of a
aggressive rear-wheel drive stance and body-side attitude with th
right balance of detail and refinement inside and out are the perfec
home for Chevrolet's V-8 performance package.
The staggered front and rear wheels, which are pushed out to th
corners, enhance the sporting, muscular stance of the SS. Up front
the aluminum hood features a subtle "power bulge" hinting a
the power of the engine underneath. At the rear, the tapered
tear-drop shape contributes to improved aerodynamic performance
Premium cues include jewel-like chrome accents, standar
high-intensity discharge headlamps and light-emitting diode daytim
running lights
The spacious interior of the SS will comfortably accommodate fiv
adults, with 42 inches of front legroom, and 39 inches of rea
legroom. Leather seating surfaces are standard, as are eight-way powe
adjustable front bucket seats with additional side bolstering that hu
the driver and front passenger in tight-handling situations. The S
emblem is prominently stitched onto the soft-touch instrument panel
which features two types of chrome finishes a satin gloss and a
bright chrome. At night, the interior is illuminated by ice blue
ambient lighting.
An integrated center stack includes infotainment, climate and other
vehicle controls. The Chevrolet SS also offers a long list of
technology features as standard equipment including:
Color, in-dashboard touch screen that supports Chevrolet MyLink and
the next-generation navigation system
Bose® Nine-speaker premium sound system
Color heads-up display
Push-button start
StabiliTrak Electronic Stability Control
Forward Collision Alert
Lane Departure Warning
Side Blind Zone Alert
Rear-vision camera Rear Cross Traffic Alert
The SS is also the first Chevrolet to offer Automatic Parking Assist,
which provides hands-free parking help. This efficient 'hands-free'
parking assistant uses the ultrasonic sensing system to detect the
width and depth of either parallel or reverse right-angle parking
spaces. While the driver controls the throttle, transmission, and
brake, the Automatic Parking Assist controls the steering inputs
necessary to neatly park the Chevrolet SS.
The 2014 Chevrolet SS will be available in the fourth quarter of 2013,
with prices set closer to the on-sale date. When it arrives in
showrooms, the SS will join the Corvette and Camaro, whose combined
sales have made Chevrolet America's favorite performance brand for the
last two years.
