Americans From Chevrolet, for the first time, had the sportiest version for the small Sonic class.
It is marketed in some places as the Aveo Sport, but unfortunately this version is likely to not see the light of some showrooms.

With a more aggressive appearance, the Sonic RS model is inspired by the prototype launched in Detroit in 2010.

Sonic RS will be available in Red Victory, Summit White, Cyber ​​Gray Metallic and Black Granite Metallic, a new color of the body available for the Sonic model on the 2013.

The Sonic RS model stays true to the spirit of the progressive attitude, bringing a unique look in this segment of vehicles, said John Mack, director of design for Sonic model.

Which ever way you look and by every touch, this model goes on with Chevrolet’s proud, tradition and performance in its second century of existence.

The front of the Sonic RS series model is one of the most dramatic elements from the prototype, with an aerodynamic design that improves the car’s ride.

It also presents some vertical air intakes on the front edge position points opened wide and which covers the fog lights.

The Sonic RS comes standard with a 1.4 liter turbo Ecotec engine, which develops an output of 138 hp (103 kW) and generates a maximum torque of 200 Nm, power maintained throughout the range for high performance even on low speeds.

The model is also provided with an automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The unique ratios of the six-speed gear manual transmission and the final drive ratio of the automatic transmission gives and adds an dynamism to the Sonic RS model in comparison with other non-RS models.

Over time many things have been changed for the Camaro, but the strong passion for cars remains constant.

With the new Camaro, the designers have decided to pay tribute to that ultimate driving experience by creating a modern interpretation of the 1969 Camaro, considered by many to be a true legend in terms of design.

The attitude was strong, low ground clearance and body proportions, so that the new Camaro brings tribute for its past but also comes with modern elements.
Now we are talking about the Camaro of the 21st century, with increased performance but benefiting from a fuel consumption economy. New Camaro Coupe is scheduled to be launched in European showrooms in the spring of 2012.

Inside the Camaro - a mix of past and modern
What characterizes the new Camaro in the interior, is attention paid to small details and the balance of past and modern elements. A pair of onboard instruments positioned in depth, a circular form in a square is a homage to the classic Camaro. These come in contrast with the ambient light package that uses technology based on LED light tubes inside to turn the interior into a welcoming and warm one.

Details such as, large instruments, chrome surfaces, adherent quality textiles and acrylic inserts enhance the feeling of quality. Attention to detail is evident in the case of the central panel of instruments. This panel is inherited from a similar option specified to the 1969 Camaro, but now it has been given the ambient LED light system.
