Chevy Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 clinched Best In The Desert class championships with respective wins at the Cal City Desert Challenge. It was the second consecutive championship for the Silverado ZR2 and the fourth straight championship for the Colorado ZR2, with both fielded by Chad Hall Racing. “It has been another expectation-shattering season, with the championships for the Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2,” said Roger McCormack, director, Accessories and Performance Parts Marketing. “The successes for both vehicles, which are very close to the production models, wouldn’t have been possible without the closely synced relationship between Chad Hall Racing and the Chevrolet engineering team.” Chad Hall Racing has been competing with a pre-production version of the Silverado ZR2 since 2019, helping Chevrolet test and validate the off-road technologies that went into the upcoming 2022 production model. Similarly, the team helped test the Chevy Colorado ZR2 off-road technologies in competition — and is still going strong with them. The Chad Hall Racing Colorado ZR2 has been competing since 2017 in the Best In The Desert series and is the only truck in its class to have finished every race entered. It has accumulated more than 22,500 miles of racing experience. “It has been very rewarding to field vehicles that are so well engineered,” said Chad Hall. “The tests and refinements made over the years with the Colorado ZR2 and the new Silverado ZR2 absolutely prove the adage that racing improves the breed — making the production vehicles stronger and more capable because of it.” The Colorado ZR2 race vehicle also helped test and validate 15 factory race components that are available to Colorado owners through Chevrolet dealers. They include Multimatic long-travel DSSV dampers and long-travel leaf springs, jounce shocks, a steel driveshaft, a tie rod sleeve system, ball-spline half-shafts and other parts designed to optimize off-road driving performance and durability. Similar components have been developed for the Silverado, including long-travel suspension parts and a steel driveshaft, which were recently introduced at the 2021 SEMA Show. “Performance and personalization upgrades are increasingly popular with customers and Chevrolet has what they need to take their off-road vehicles to the next level,” said McCormack. “Better yet, these factory-engineered parts are tuned and validated over thousands of combined off-road development miles, including unforgiving Best In The Desert race courses.” More details on the Colorado and Silverado parts are available at www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts. Chad Hall Racing and the Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 race vehicles will be back in action on Dec. 3, in the Mint 400, an independent race held on the outskirts of Las Vegas. The team will also attend the Best In The Desert awards ceremony on Dec. 11, capping another winning season and looking toward another in 2022.

The pioneering project car gets plugged into the EV era with a 340-horsepower, 400-volt battery-electric powertrain The 1957 Chevy hot rod known as Project X has been rebuilt for the EV era with a Chevrolet Performance concept electric propulsion system. The iconic 1957 Chevy known as Project X drives into the future today as the car makes its debut, powered by an electric motor that delivers an estimated 340 horsepower. The latest reinvention of the famous HOT ROD project car is the result of a collaboration between Chevrolet Performance, MotorTrend and Cagnazzi Racing. Unveiled at the SEMA show, Project X proves that the electric future of driving doesn’t require leaving the past behind. Originally purchased for $250 in 1965, Project X has served as a testbed for more than five decades as editors ofMotorTrend’s HOT ROD brand have evaluated new products, technologies and trends. Over the years, it has been powered by inline-six and V-8 engines, and has at times used carburetors, fuel injection and supercharging. The classic ’57 has been reimagined so often and so extensively that it has been called the million-dollar Chevy. “Project X has always served the car community by pushing the envelope with groundbreaking technologies,” said Douglas Glad, group content director, MotorTrend Group. “As the auto industry shifts rapidly toward electric vehicles, this Project X build is just the latest in its celebrated legacy of adapting hot rodding to the powerful technology of tomorrow.” For the latest incarnation, builder Cagnazzi Racing replaced Project X’s supercharged LSX V-8 with an electric motor that delivers an estimated 340 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. The battery, which is being evaluated for potential use as a next-generation Chevrolet Performance product, has been developed around a modular concept that could allow customers to scale the pack capacity based on range, cost, packaging and weight considerations. In Project X, the 400-volt proof-of-concept lithium-ion battery stores 30 kilowatt-hours of electricity, providing enough range for weekend cruising. A quick-change differential allows the final-drive ratio to be adjusted based on how the car is being used. Fitting the differential with a shorter final-drive ratio provides quicker acceleration while using a taller gear relaxes performance and extends the range. “The reinvention of Project X is a reminder that our vision for a world with zero emissions includes classics like the Tri-Five Chevys,” said Prashant Ahire, eCrate regional chief engineer. “As General Motors rolls out its trailblazing EV technology, Chevrolet Performance plans to offer EV propulsion solutions for enthusiasts looking to modernize their project cars.” Cagnazzi Racing performed the motor swap in its Mooresville, North Carolina, shop. The EV conversion also necessitated a switch to an electric brake booster and electrohydraulic power steering pump. Project X still rides on the sixth-generation Corvette front suspension that was installed in 2007, although there have been some changes. The removal of the exhaust system allowed the team to lower the car by roughly 2 inches. Project X has also been fitted with softer front springs and stiffer rear springs since the electrified car carries less weight under the hood and more weight over the rear axle compared with the previous build. “We are racers and hot rodders, with deep roots in internal-combustion racing engines,” said Vic Cagnazzi, owner of Cagnazzi Racing. “But we see this next leap into EV performance propulsion as a natural evolution for hot rodding. Our goal with this conversion was to maintain the look and integrity of the classic hot rod, while modernizing the propulsion technology.” To that end, Project X still has the same classic look that it’s worn for decades. The biggest aesthetic change is found inside the car: Project X now uses the same push-button gear selector as the 2021 Chevrolet Corvette. It’s a subtle clue that this timeless project car is once again doing things differently.

Chevrolet drives into the SEMA Show this week led by The Chevy Beast — a concept vision of the ultimate in high-performance desert running. Conceived to demonstrate the capability of Chevy trucks and Chevrolet Performance components, The Chevy Beast concept is a four-passenger off-roader that’s based on a modified Silverado chassis, wears a customized pickup body and is powered by a Chevrolet Performance LT4 650-horsepower supercharged crate engine. “The Chevy Beast concept takes the popularity of high-performance off-road trucks to the next level,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance and Motorsports. “It’s a vision for a new dimension of Chevrolet Performance capability from a brand that’s been pioneering performance and supporting customer personalization for more than 50 years.” Expanded dimensions of Chevy Trucks’ capability are explored in several additional trucks and SUVs on display at the SEMA Show, including: 2022 Silverado ZR2 2022 Silverado High Country Midnight Concept 2022 Silverado 3500HD Hoonigan Concept 2022 Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road 2022 Colorado Z71 Off-Road Performance Edition 2022 Tahoe Z71 Overlanding Concept 2021 Suburban Street Concept More details on all the Chevrolet vehicles and accessories at SEMA are available www.ChevySEMA.com. Superior capability, control and performance The Chevy Beast was designed to dominate the desert with capabilities, control and performance rooted in a production-based foundation and off-the-shelf performance enhancements. Designers and engineers started with the chassis of a Silverado short-bed model and modified it for high-speed desert running. The frame was shortened and a custom-designed, 4130 chromoly tubular safety structure was integrated while the modified chassis was wrapped with a custom, lightweight body. A concept, long-travel off-road suspension system was also created for the vehicle, including a five-link rear suspension. Along with a widened, 91-inch track, it contributes to more stable handling and optimal driver control during high-speed off-road driving. “There’s nothing else like The Chevy Beast,” says Jeff Trush, GM program manager, Pace Car and Specialty Show Vehicles. “It delivers a ton of performance and capability, which makes it adept at conquering rough terrain — and it flat-out flies in desert running.” That high-speed capability is derived from a Chevrolet Performance LT4 crate engine 1 — a 6.2L supercharged V-8 that’s rated at 650 hp. It’s backed by a 10L90 10-speed automatic transmission that sends torque to a two-speed transfer case and distributes it to 37-inch-tall off-road tires mounted on 20-inch beadlock wheels. The concept also includes the Chevrolet Performance Big Brake Upgrade System. The Chevy Beast’s impressive capability is complemented with equally dramatic and purposeful style. Tubular doors and a simple, lightweight clamshell-type front end reflect the functionality and aesthetic of desert running while the rear of the vehicle was intentionally designed with almost no overhang to maximize the angle of attack on steep grades. A pair of spare tires are mounted in the bed while the rear of the vehicle itself is left open to help extract dust. Additional unique design cues include a custom front grille, front and rear bowtie emblems and powerful off-road lighting from Baja Designs®. Inside, the customized cab has a minimalist, functional design, featuring a quartet of Recaro® performance seats with four-point harnesses, as well as a pair of 7-inch-diagonal LCD screens that monitor vehicle functions and performance data, including pitch and roll during off-road driving scenarios. “The Chevy Beast concept sets a new standard for off-road performance,” said Trush.

The concept is based on the strongest, most capable Silverado ever and employs advanced trailering 3 technology, with up to 15 available camera views 4 and an Advanced Trailering System. This concept version is also outfitted with Gooseneck/5th Wheel Prep Package, along with a number of accessories and custom graphics that give it a distinctive appearance. 2022 Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road — Since 2017, the Colorado ZR2 has been a force in the Best in the Desert racing series, with Chad Hall Racing using the production-based truck to help validate production and performance parts. In fact, it is the only truck in its class to have finished every race entered, and it has accumulated more than 22,500 miles of racing experience. This production-based Colorado ZR2 Extreme Off-Road is a reflection of that real-world experience and showcases the extensive roster of competition-proven parts available from Chevrolet Performance, including front and rear jounce shocks, long-travel shock kits, long-travel leaf springs, an anti-wrap link system and more. 2022 Colorado Z71 Off-Road Performance Edition — This production-based Colorado Z71 pushes its off-road capability nearly to a ZR2 level thanks to the available Trail Boss Package that includes a 1-inch suspension leveling kit, front and mid-vehicle skid plates, 17-inch wheels in Gloss Black, red tow hooks and the elimination of the front air dam. It also demonstrates the overlanding and camping capabilities enabled by a number of Chevrolet Accessories and Chevrolet Performance components, all of which are available through the Chevrolet dealer, including a High Country 55-inch Rooftop Tent by Freespirit Recreation5, a camp kitchen and more. 2022 Tahoe Z71 Overlanding concept — Envisioned as the go-anywhere SUV for adventure and discovery, this concept builds on the Tahoe Z71’s capability, including the available Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension, and augments it with 33-inch tires mounted on concept 18-inch beadlock wheels, an Off Road Recovery Kit, auxiliary A-pillar off-road lights, a lifted suspension and AirDesign 6 fender flares, as well as a Dometic powered dual-zone cooler and Freespirit Recreation 55-inch rooftop tent. The concept also strikes a more distinctive pose with black nameplates, a Front Illuminated Bowtie emblem in black, and Illuminated Front and Rear Door Sill Plates with Tahoe Script, all available from Chevrolet Accessories. 2021 Suburban Street concept — Chevrolet Performance engineers elevated the stature of this Suburban concept by lowering its ride height thanks to the adjustable settings of its available Four Corner Air Ride Adaptive Suspension. A set of 24-inch, custom-cut and polished billet aluminum wheels wrapped with 285/30R24 Pirelli tires complete the streetwise stance and is complemented with an available Chevrolet Performance Brembo® brake upgrade system. Select Chevrolet Accessories and Performance parts also were used to distinguish this stylized vision, including black mirror caps and badge, an all-new black grille with the Chevrolet script, matte black hood decal and Bowtie-logo puddle lamps. Inside are illuminated door sills, an illuminated liftgate sill plate, cargo organizer and sport pedals. SuperMatic™ 6L80-E 4WD Transmission For off-road project vehicle builders, Chevrolet Performance also introduced the advanced SuperMatic™ 6L80-E six-speed automatic transmission for 4WD applications. It has the same 650-lb-ft torque rating as the rear-wheel-drive 6L80-E and works with Chevy’s Connect & Cruise Crate Powertrain System for plug-and-play compatibility with LS crate engines 1. The 4WD-specific tail mount allows customers to pair the transmission with a transfer case. Two kits are available: one with a 2,400-rpm stall converter and the other with a 3,000-rpm stall converter. Chevrolet’s concepts, show vehicles, performance parts and accessories are on display at the SEMA Show, in Las Vegas, through Nov.5. See more at www.ChevySEMA.com.

Popular 6.2L V-8 engine option expands to three more trims: RST, Z71 and Premier For Z71, the new, available electronic limited slip differential helps manage torque and increase driving confidence A new, larger 12.3-inch-diagonal configurable digital instrument cluster now standard on LT trims and above Google Assistant functionality allows drivers to adjust HVAC, control media and more with their voice 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe RST The 2022 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban will offer new features and additional technology, including more mechanical options, infotainment improvements and additional standard active safety features. “Tahoe and Suburban customers keep coming back thanks to the capability, space and technology these vehicles bring to every road trip or daily drive,” said Kelly MacDonald, director, Chevrolet Truck Marketing. “Chevrolet keeps innovating with these popular full-size SUVs, and it’s part of the formula that makes them segment leaders.” Expanded 6.2L V-8 engine availability and new eLSD option For customers looking for power, the popular 6.2L V-8 engine rated at 420-horsepower is now available on the RST, Z71 and Premier. The 6.2L engine is standard on the High Country. This engine comes with dual exhaust and features Dynamic Fuel Management technology, designed to optimize engine efficiency across a broad range of driving conditions, including when towing a trailer. When the RST is ordered with the 6.2L V-8, customers also gain Magnetic Ride Control, one of the fastest-reacting damping systems in the industry. Magnetic Ride Control is standard on Premier and High Country and available on Z71. The 5.3L V-8 remains the standard engine on LS, LT, Z71, RST and Premier models. The optional Duramax 3.0L turbo-diesel is available on all models except Z71. All engines are mated to a standard 10-speed automatic transmission with push-button electronic shift. New for 2022, the available electronic limited slip differential draws on sports car DNA to deliver improved driving performance in a full-size SUV. If wheel slip is detected on either side of the vehicle, eLSD reacts quickly to shift power to the wheel with better traction. That additional traction can contribute to increased driver confidence in difficult types of terrain and weather conditions. Available on the off-road focused Z71 trim, eLSD also can be used in 4WD Low to help prevent wheelslip in dirt and mud. Enhanced trailering technology and larger driver information cluster For 2022, Tahoe and Suburban will now offer up to 13 available, unique camera views 1, including a transparent trailer view that helps the driver virtually “see through” a connected, compatible trailer when the truck is properly equipped. Additional new trailering views include a rear trailer view, a picture-in-picture side view, and a view inside a trailer when an accessory camera is connected. A new, larger 12.3-inch-diagonal configurable digital instrument cluster is now standard on 2022 Tahoe and Suburban for LT trims and above. With four user-selectable layouts, this cluster allows drivers to (customize or personalize) display information in the way most comfortable for them during short trips or a long family adventure. Seamless infotainment system with Google built-in compatibility Today’s modern drivers increasingly expect seamless integration between their personal tech and vehicles. With Google built-in, 2 standard on trims LT and above, drivers will have access to Google Assistant, Google Maps and Google Play right on the vehicle display. This new experience works with Android Auto TM3 and Apple CarPlay 4 capability and offers new levels of customization and flexibility for customers. Rather than connect a smartphone and project onto the center screen, select Google apps and services are integrated into the vehicle’s hardwire. Users have access to Google Assistant, Google Maps, and in-vehicle applications on Google Play. The integration will continue to evolve over time, but 2022 Tahoe and Suburban customers will be able to control vehicle functions by voice or the steering wheel, including: Phone calls and messaging (SMS), when phone paired Audio volume Changing AM/FM radio or SiriusXM channel (subscription required 5) Navigation using Google Maps HVAC The 2022 Tahoe and Suburban will continue to offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability. Additional standard active safety features 6 and color choices Safety is an important consideration for many Tahoe and Suburban customers. The 2022 models have two active safety features now standard across all trims: Front and Rear Park Assist and Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning. Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning uses a brief, gentle steering wheel turn to alert you when you may be unintentionally drifting out of detected lane lines. It is part of a suite of six standard active safety features called Chevy Safety Assist on every trim for the 2022 Tahoe and Suburban. In addition to Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Chevy Safety Assist also includes: Automatic Emergency Braking Front Pedestrian Braking Forward Collision Alert Following Distance Indicator IntelliBeam auto high beams Buckle to Drive will be a standard feature on the 2022 Tahoe and Suburban to help remind drivers to buckle up before driving. The feature does not allow a shift out of park until the driver and front passenger, if detected, have their seat belts fastened. Buckling a seat belt is among the top ways drivers can protect themselves in a crash, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Additionally, Tahoe and Suburban also will offer new exterior colors: Evergreen Gray Metallic, Auburn Metallic and Dark Ash Metallic. The 2022 Tahoe and Suburban will begin production in October.

The COPO Camaro returns to the drag strip and its roots with a 572-cubic-inch Big Block V-8 The COPO Camaro returns to the drag strip for 2022 with a newly available 572-cubic-inch engine. The Big Block V-8 channels the spirit of the original 1969 COPO Camaro, a purpose-built drag racer created by dealers using the Central Office Production Order system to equip cars with Chevrolet’s largest V-8. The COPO 572 uses a cast-iron block with four-bolt main caps, aluminum heads, a forged steel crankshaft, forged steel connecting rods and forged aluminum pistons. Pricing for the COPO Camaro with the 572 starts from $105,500 (excluding tax, title, license, and dealer fees). 2022 Chevrolet COPO Camaro with a 572-cubic-inch Big-Block V-8 The 2022 COPO Camaro is also available with LSX-based Small Block engines – A supercharged 350-cubic-inch V-8 rated by the NHRA at 580 horsepower and a naturally aspirated 427-cubic-inch V-8 with an NHRA-rated 470 hp. All 2022 COPO Camaros use an ATI Racing Products TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Engineered for drag racers, the COPO Camaro is sold as a Chevrolet Performance part and cannot be registered for street use. It competes in NHRA Stock and Super Stock eliminators and comes standard with a carbon fiber hood and wheelie bars. Buyers can customize their cars with options such as a trunk-mounted weight box and parachute. Owning a COPO Camaro places drag racers in rare company – Chevrolet has built fewer than 700 examples since the program restarted in 2012. In past years, interested customers have entered a lottery to win an allotment for one of 69 cars. Chevrolet will not limit production for 2022, and orders will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Buyers may also participate in a private tour of the COPO Build Facility in Oxford, Michigan, where each car is custom made. The order form for the 2022 Chevrolet COPO Camaro can be found at www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/copo-camaro. Read more about the history of the COPO Camaro here.

Electric vehicles aren't a novelty anymore, but they are still new enough that people have some wrong ideas about EVs of all makes and models, including Chevy's Bolt EV. Chevrolet's New Roads magazine tackled some of these myths in an online article. EV Myth Busting All over America, more people are learning just how easy electric vehicles are to use and integrate into their daily lives. For everything from around-town errands to road trips, EVs are proving themselves capable and cost-effective. In early 2021, Chevrolet introduced the updated 2022 Bolt EV and the larger 2022 Bolt EUV. General Motors has also announced an investment of $27 billion in EV and AV products through 2025, along with the launch of 30 new EVs globally by the end of 2025. With all of this change happening so fast, myths and misinformation about EV technology persist. Let’s collect some facts to set the record straight. Myth: There's nowhere to charge. Fact: "You can easily charge at home. When you're not home there are 90,000 compatible public charging outlets in the U.S. and Canada, and GM is working with EVgo, the largest public fast-charging network in the nation, to install even more public chargers across America over the next five years." Myth: Charging an EV takes too long. Fact: "On a Level 2, 240-volt charger, your Bolt EUV can grab up to 25 miles of range per hour while you sleep, binge your favorite show, or play with your kids." Myth: EVs don't offer enough range. Fact: "The vast majority of daily trips can easily be handled by an electric vehicle like the 2021 or 2022 Bolt EV, which have an EPA estimated range of 259 miles on a full charge." Myth: EVs can't be used for road trips. Fact: "There are any number of websites that can help new owners of electric vehicles plan their trip, and the myChevrolet mobile app has an Energy Assist feature that helps drivers with route planning." Myth: EVs don't work well in cold weather. Fact: "...whether cars are powered by gasoline or electricity, all vehicles are less efficient in the cold. The critical caveat is that much of the extra energy an EV needs in winter is used to heat the cabin. If you preheat the cabin before leaving, while the vehicle is still plugged into the charger, you can help extend the vehicles range for that trip."

Many Americans got behind the wheel to visit national parks and camp for first time; just as the all-new Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban arrive The challenges of quarantine and social distancing helped spur a resurgence in the American road trip, a new survey from Chevrolet and The Harris Poll shows. In fact, nearly 80 percent of Americans credited road trips as helping to keep their sanity during the pandemic. In advance of Labor Day – typically one of the nation’s busiest travel weekends – Chevrolet worked with The Harris Poll to survey over 1,000 Americans to discover exactly how they spent their time on the road over the past six months, and the effect it had. With the all-new 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban in dealerships now, these results come at a time when drivers indicated they could use the best-in-class cargo volume for anyone – or anything – that comes along for the ride. A majority of Americans said their vehicles became a much-needed escape from home, with many exploring outdoor destinations like beaches and hiking trails. Nearly three-quarters of those surveyed said they value road trips more than they did before the pandemic, and 80 percent of road trippers said going on a road trip has been “one of their happiest moments” since March. The circumstances throughout 2020 have driven Americans outdoors and to new destinations, many for the first time in their lives. The survey found 89 percent of Americans said their car allowed them to get out of the house safely for a much-needed change of scenery. Among road trippers: Twenty percent visited a national park for the first time More than 1 in 10 Americans went camping for the first time Forty-one percent road tripped to somewhere they’ve never been before The top outdoor road trip activities include beaches (41 percent), hiking (31 percent), fishing (29 percent) and going to national parks (27 percent) In addition to exploring new places, roughly 4 in 10 road trippers say that they now have a greater appreciation for the outdoors (43 percent) and for domestic travel (38 percent). And 56 percent said the vehicle has become “part of the family.” “The open roads are a welcome change, and for decades, many Americans have embraced the outdoors with the Tahoe and Suburban as the ultimate road trip vehicles,” said Bob Krapes, Chevrolet Trucks marketing director. “This desire to pack up family and cargo and get out is part of these iconic SUVs’ DNA. The all-new 2021 Tahoe and Suburban have been completely redesigned to offer more space, comfort and technology to make road trips enjoyable and memorable.” According to the survey, half (53 percent) of Americans said more cargo room would make their road trip experience better, and the new Tahoe and Suburban deliver. Each offers best-in-class cargo volume: up to 122.9 cubic feet for Tahoe and up to 144.7 cubic feet for Suburban. One in 3 of those surveyed said a rear-seat media system would make their road trip experience more enjoyable. Both Tahoe and Suburban offer an available Rear-Seat Media System that includes a pair of 12.6-inch diagonal LCD HD touchscreens for rear passengers capable of displaying content, sharing from one screen to another or “sending” suggested locations to the front-seat passengers. More than half of those surveyed cited safety features’ importance to an enjoyable road trip. The Tahoe and Suburban come standard with robust safety and driver assistance features* including Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Alert, Rear Park Assist and Front Pedestrian Braking while offering an available class-leading 15-inch diagonal multi-color Head-Up Display, class-leading up to nine available camera views*, Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert* and other innovative technology. As Americans continue to explore new ways to spend time out of the home, the survey conducted by Chevrolet and The Harris Poll showed more road trip plans are still ahead. Of those planning to road trip through the end of the year, 41 percent plan to road trip over Thanksgiving or winter holidays.
