Chevrolet Europe will launch its vision of the next-generation World Touring Car Championship contender at the Paris Motor Show on September 30. GM says the car was designed to celebrate the brand’s motor sport heritage and push Chevy’s styling language to the extreme.
The concept is truly a global effort: Ewan Kingsbury, a designer at GM in Australia did the exterior, while development work on the concept was carried out in the UK, Germany and Switzerland. The Ultra’s engine was built in Korea, and the prototype was assembled in Japan.
The aggressive looking beast is powered by 190 hp diesel engine. GM says the concept car further confirms Chevrolet’s commitment to the WTCC, in which Chevy has scored two wins and a third place finish.
