The Chevrolet Camaro is a common sight beside drag strip “Christmas trees.” The Camaro Turbo AutoX concept that Chevy unveiled at this year’s SEMA show was designed to look at home between the orange cones of an autocross course.Given that it’s a concept vehicle, the Turbo AutoX was also designed to look different from regular Camaros. Chevy coated it in eye-catching Shock Yellow, Pearl Nickel hood stripes, and satin Carbon Flash Metallic accents. Then they threw on a Camaro SS hood and parts from a Chevrolet Accessories ground effects kit. Goodyear 285/35R20 performance tires surround concept Chevrolet Accessories 20-inch wheels. Behind the two front wheels are six-piston calipers and 370-mm, two-piece slotted rotors from Chevrolet Performance. Other exterior tweaks include export side markers and an all-new rear spoiler.Engineers upgraded the turbo 2.0-liter four under the vented hood by adding a concept cold-air intake system to it and making some software changes. It breathes through the four-inch outlets of a Chevrolet Performance exhaust, which reduces backpressure by roughly 14 percent.In autocross, power is nothing without the handling to control and focus it. Chevy didn’t overlook that fact. Its engineers bolted in a Chevrolet Performance suspension lowering kit and its stiffer springs and specially tuned dampers. They also threw in larger stabilizer bars and stiffer suspension links. They topped the whole package off with a concept strut tower brace. All of that wrench-turning adds up to improved roll stiffness and sharper turn-in.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >> #gallery-2 { margin: auto; } #gallery-2 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-2 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-2 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */ <br style="clear: both" /> <br style="clear: both" />
