Chevrolet Tru 140S Concept
This strange looking two-door at Chevy’s 2012 North American International Auto Show booth is the Tru 140S Concept.
Tru is not a production concept that will be on dealer lots anytime soon. Instead, 140S serves as a design study, and direction that General Motors and Chevrolet might take in future models.
We can see this becoming a next-gen Corvette or Camaro, can you?
John McFarland, Chevy’s senior manager for Global Marketing, stated in Detroit, “At Chevrolet, we want to build authentic and meaningful relationships with these customers on their terms. We want to hear what they have to say, engage them in our design process, and give them what they want – not what we think they want.”
Tru 140S is dubbed the “affordable exotic,” and will be sharing platforms with Cruze and Volt as a front-wheel-drive three-door hatchback.
Tru is powered by a direct-injected, turbocharged 1.4-liter engine, with stop-start technology “for maximum fuel economy.” Numbers have yet to be released by the auto maker or EPA officials.
Inside, Chevy includes WiFi connectivity, smartphone integration, MyLink infotainment system, and heads up display.
