Chevy Camaro platform underpins new GM vehicle in Chicago

General Motors has big plans for the upcoming Chicago Auto Show. At the exposition opening this week, GM will unveil a pair of new vehicles, although details on what form they'll take remain scarce.
The news comes from reports quoting GM's North American president Mark Reuss. All he's revealed at this point is that one of the two cars will be based on the Chevrolet Camaro's platform. That tells us it will be a front-engine/rear-drive vehicle, but little else. So, commence speculation: Camaro Z28? Chevy Zeta-platform sedan? (Which we think should be called Chevelle, because hey, if Dodge can call its sedan Charger...)

As for the second car slated for the Windy City salon, your guess is as good as ours. So we'll just have to sit tight and see what the General has got in store for us.

German-tuned 'Black Cat' Chevrolet Camaro SS by Speed Box

German tuner Speed Box has a new compressor kit and a few other goodies ready for one of the most iconic American muscle cars - the Camaro SS.

That compressor kit for the newly christened 'Black Cat' dials up the power rating on the Camaro SS to 625 PS (460 kW) on the 6.2 liter V8 - up substantially from the series 432 PS (318 kW). The compressor kits is priced at €8,999.

Performance is also boosted care of the BORLA stainless steel exhaust system (€999 without tailpipes). Speed Box also adds H&R coilovers (€1,272) and offers optional H&R stabilizers for €530 for an improved handling on those curvy German 'Landstrassen' (country roads).

The Herten, Germany-based tuner also borrows some 22-inch rims from retailer Schmidt Revolution for the 'Rhino' wheels which feature 265/30-R22 and 295/25-R22 tires, front and back, respectively, wrapped around the 10 x 22" and 11 x 22" rims. Cost for the wheels package is €3,999. Rims are also available in 9 x 20".

It's a performance-oriented package but Speed Box also offers that 'Black Cat' matte body paintwork for the Camaro SS priced at €3,500.
