The annual SEMA show in Las Vegas, Nevada is often where you’ll see some of the world’s most radical automobiles.
While most SEMA debuts are of the gas-guzzling, extreme horsepower type, this debut will be electrifying.
Genera Motors says it’ll bring all sorts of concepts to display at SEMA in early November (Nov. 5-8), but the only one that interests us is the Chevy Spark EV Tech Performance.
Spark EV Tech Performance Concept
A pure-electric urban mini-car designed for fun driving, easy ownership and head-turning style, the Spark EV uses no gasoline, but its GM-built motor and drive unit deliver 400 lb-ft of instant torque – more than the classic 1969 Camaro SS muscle car with a 350 V-8 – for exhilarating acceleration. It can go from 0 to 60 mph in 7.5 seconds.The Tech Performance concept builds on Spark EV’s performance with a unique power-delivery algorithm that enhances acceleration. Stronger axles support the greater power – helping transform this electric mini car into a mini-muscle car. Additional features:
- Custom exterior color and graphics, a unique backlit Chevrolet “bowtie” emblem in the grille and performance billet aluminum wheels
- Chevrolet Accessory sill plates, floor mats and pedal covers
- Body-color trim plates and green stitching on the shifter boot and steering wheel
- A military-style flip-up “activation switch” on the instrument panel adds a fun, high-performance-oriented touch of style to this plug-in performer
- Lightweight features that enhance performance
Will GM build it? Most likely not, but we all know by now that the Spark EV is a hoot to drive and this EV Tech Performance version surely offers even more thrills.
