Callaway teases supercharged Chevrolet SS
Social media page reveals hi-po US-spec Commodore SS with supercharged LSA V8A grainy image on Callaway Cars’ Facebook page confirms the illustrious American tuning house will offer a supercharged version of the Chevrolet SS it says adds “extra excitement to Chevrolet’s new personal sports sedan”.
That sports sedan is a rebadged left-hand drive version of the VF-series Holden Commodore SS, which is sold locally with a Chevrolet-sourced (LS2) 6.0-litre V8 developing 270kW/550Nm. Holden has just begun exporting the Commodore SS to Chevrolet in the US, where it will be sold simply as the “SS”. For the US market, the SS adopts the same 309kW/550Nm (LS3) 6.2-litre V8 sold here in HSV variants.
But Callaway will take the package one step further, offering the SS with a supercharged version of the 430kW/740Nm (LSA) 6.2-litre V8 sold here exclusively in the $93,000 HSV GTS.
Though pricing for the Callaway-enhanced version of the SS has not yet been released, the regular 6.2-litre Chevrolet version retails from $US45,000. A similarly-specified HSV ClubSport sells here for $A60,990.
Callaway Cars released the images beneath a similarly-specified version of the Corvette Stingray. A single teaser shot shows the top on the LSA’s intake manifold protruding from the bonnet complete with ‘supercharged’ lettering.
Callaway’s Facebook page gives little away, saying only that the force-fed ‘Ray will deliver “breathtaking power, bulletproof durability and 50-state emission compliance”.
