The Chevrolet World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) team has completed its 2007 car winter test program in Valencia, Spain yesterday. Chevrolet drivers Rob Huff, Nicola Larini and Alain Menu have all completed many days of testing in their 2007-spec cars in Chevrolet’s most intensive winter test program yet, which saw the team in action in the U.K. as well as in Jerez de la Fronteira, Almeria and Valencia in Spain.
“I’m quietly confident about this year. This is the third year of the program, what I would call the “showtime year”, the year where we need to get results. Testing has been going very well with a car that is definitely quicker than last year’s. Of course we don’t know what other people have been running at the tests, what weight they were at and so on, so we won’t know for sure until the first race. But in any case the reliability is fantastic. We managed to put some 100 laps per day on each car at each test, so I’m very pleased with that,” said Chevrolet driver Rob Huff.
Racking up thousands of miles in the winter warmth of Southern Spain, the cars will now return to the team’s base in Wellingborough and prepared for shipment to Brazil, home of the opening round of the 2007 World Touring Car Championship. A fourth 2007-spec Chevrolet Lacetti is in the process of being built up and will be used for more tests while the race cars are in transit to and from Brazil.

That's a terrific beast. Any plans of launching such high end vehicles in the Indian market?
