Rob Huff, Nicola Larini And Alain Menu Re-sign For 2007 Season

Chevrolet Europe will present its vision of the next generation WTCC contender at the Paris Motor Show on September 30.

The ready-to-drive WTCC Ultra 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 (L/W/H: 4,325mm/1,905mm/1,570 mm) will celebrate its world premiere on the Chevrolet stand in Hall 5.2 of the Expo 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. Words like "aggressive, muscular and dramatic" describe the car's design, which holds sharp lines contrasting with more organic and flowing surfaces. The WTCC Ultra is propelled by a 190hp diesel engine, while its proportions give the impression of a car that looks fast even when it's standing still.

The concept car further confirms Chevrolet’s commitment to the World Touring Car Championship, in which the brand successfully competes since 2005. This season, Chevrolet scored two wins in England and the Czech Republic, and finished in third in Italy.

Last weekend all three current drivers, recent race winner Rob Huff, Nicola Larini and Alain Menu re-signed with Chevrolet for the 2007 WTCC season.
