2015 CHEVROLET SS BOLSTERS PERFORMANCE WITH
MAGNETIC RIDE CONTROL AND SIX-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION
The Chevrolet SS returns for 2015 with more performance-oriented features that enhance its dynamic driving experience, including Magnetic Ride Control, a six-speed manual transmission and Brembo rear brakes.
“The SS reinforces Chevrolet’s position as America’s performance car brand and affirms what we’ve believed all along – enthusiasts want the driving experience that only a rear-drive sedan can provide,” said Brian Sweeney, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet. “And by the way: BMW is the top non-GM-brand trade-in from SS customers.”
Magnetic Ride Control – the world’s fastest-reacting damping system – provides more precise body motion control that correlates with a more responsive, more refined ride. It is standard on the SS and features driver-selectable Tour, Sport and Performance modes.
The new six-speed manual is available alongside the paddle-shift six-speed automatic, and the new Brembo rear brakes complement the Brembo front brakes that have been part of the SS’s equipment roster since its debut.
“The enhancements for 2015 make an already exciting car even more capable,” said Sweeney.
Indeed, the SS’s new chassis features and transmission complement its race-tested, global rear-wheel drive architecture. Power comes from the LS3 V-8, delivering an SAE-certified 415 horsepower (310 kW) and 415 lb.-ft. of torque (563 Nm).
With the automatic transmission and its performance-oriented 3.27 final-drive ratio, the Chevrolet SS accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in about five seconds, making it one of the quickest sedans on the market. Models equipped with the new manual transmission feature a more aggressive 3.70 axle ratio for even stronger acceleration.
