Report: Next Camaro to Shrink In Size, Join Cadillac CTS and ATS on New Platform
Feb 05, 2010 - 2:06 PM - by Administrator

Chevy's next generation Camaro is going to shrink in size from its current behemoth underpinnings and share a new global Alpha platform with the third-generation Cadillac CTS and the all-new ATS. With the next Camaro due out in 2015, the CTS is destined to bow in 2013 as a 2014 model, while the 3-Series fighting ATS is scheduled to arrive just afterwards.

The news comes from a report by Motor Trend after a presentation by consultancy firm Grant Thornton LLP at the Automotive Press Association on Thursday.

Other details revealed include plans to discontinue the CTS Coupe and SportWagon, likely because both a coupe, convertible and wagon version of the ATS are in the works. The CTS will then grow slightly (by roughly 6-inches) to be more in line with the 5 Series and E-Class.

To make this plan cost effective its likely that the new Alpha platform will use different amounts of aluminum and steel depending on whether it is being used for a Cadillac or a Chevy, with the Caddy getting a higher percentage of lighter, but more expensive, aluminum.

In addition to this new MT also suggests, the 2015 Camaro SS is likely to get a supercharged or turbocharged V6, rather than a V8.

Gtoaa Announces Gto.r Sponsorship
Jan 28, 2010 - 11:11 AM - by GTO JUDGE
The GTO Association America has announced a partnership and sponsorship of MCM Motorsports The following is a brief announcement:

Matt Connolly Motorsports (MCM) no. 21 GTO.R, sporting a striking white with blue and orange accents paint scheme, and will be displaying the logos of two new sponsors – a2z Racer Gear and the GTOAA – as she roars around the high banks and twisting infield road course of Daytona International Speedway, her LS2 V8 powerplant propelling her at speeds approaching 180 mph, on Pirelli racing tires. This season, your chapter can join in the thrills of the Rolex Series and help support one of Grand American’s top-tier teams, and the 21, a remarkable racecar with a remarkable legacy.
The GTOAA logo on the 21 is only part of the Association’s participation in Grand Am road racing. For the 2010 season – the GTO.R’s final under a special Grand Am waiver (normally, GT Class cars can compete for a maximum of three seasons after the factory vehicle has ceased production) – the GTOAA has entered into an exciting partnership with MCM and a2z Racer Gear, which makes an attractive line of retro-style racing apparel. The company has produced a line of MCM apparel featuring the GTOAA logo, including two styles of jacket and a polo shirt. A portion of the proceeds from apparel sales benefits MCM, and also benefits the GTOAA. In addition, the MCM crew will be outfitted in a2z uniforms featuring the... [Read More]
