Exciting Chevrolet study WTCC Ultra celebrates world premiere

An athlete takes centre stage: The exciting racecar study WTCC Ultra will be the Chevrolet highlight at the Paris Motor Show (September 30 – October 15, 2006). The ready-to-drive concept car was developed by a GM team around the globe. It is the optical vision of a new touring car generation and takes the Chevrolet body language to the extreme. The compact Chevrolet WTCC Ultra (length/width/height: 4,325/1,905/1,570 mm) will celebrate its world premiere in Paris.

The bold and aggressive design of the racecar study sounds out the limits of Chevrolet's design language. The WTCC Ultra is a design icon that bends the present WTCC regulations. Sharp lines contrast with more organic, flowing surfaces. The WTCC Ultra is powered by a 190 hp diesel engine.

The trade and the general public will also get to see for the first time the new Chevrolet Epica Diesel, which will be launched in spring 2007. The mid-class sedan is powered by a two-liter common rail diesel with 150 hp. After the Captiva Diesel, which will reach the European showrooms in autumn and is celebrating its French premiere in Paris, the Epica is thus the second diesel vehicle in Chevrolet Europe's line-up.
