Chevrolet Code 130R Concept
Chevrolet introduced today two new concepts at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show: the Code 130R and the Tru 140S. Although both vehicles have dumb names, we have to admit that they do look interesting. The Code 130R Concept is a four-seat coupe with a simple upright profile, that comes in an all-new red metallic paint and with matte anodized gold wheels. The new car seems to be a rival to the Subaru BRZ and the Scion FR-R as it features heritage performance-inspired styling and rear-wheel drive.
Moreover, the Code 130R features an aggressive front fascia, the Chevrolet fender flares, straight body side and Chevy crossflag emblem. GM says that the Code 130R Concept makes a link to Chevrolet’s performance heritage. The Code 130R features an unspecified turbocharged engine that was tuned to work in tandem with the eAssist technology. This means that the engine will feature Start/Stop technology being able to shut off at stops.
Moreover, the vehicle can recapture braking energy and features smooth torque during acceleration. “Chevrolet has always stood for making the aspirational attainable for all generations” said General Motors North America President Mark Reuss. “These two concepts interpret that vision for a new generation. We’re seeking out our newest customers’ opinions, listening to their advice, and engaging them in new ways.”
