Spy Shots: Chevrolet Corvette SS

Enlarge Photo

Just this week there were reports circulating that Chevrolet’s 600hp Corvette would be called the SS, and now images of a red pre-production test mule of that very car have surfaced. The diligent guys over at Autoblog managed to find these images on an Internet forum, which reveal a huge liquid to liquid intercooler mounted above the engine and a new positive displacement supercharger siting where the alternator should be.

Under the hood’s camo gear is likely to be a new power bulge instead of the rumoured air-scoop, while the front-quarter panels, which were also taped up, are likely to feature new side vents. General Motors’ Bob Lutz confirmed that the car is in development and is due by mid 2009 as a 2010 model.
