The Chevrolet Chevelle Super Sport is back, sort of, but it’s not coming from General Motors.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Trans Am Worldwide introduced the Chevrolet 70\/SS with more than 1,500 horsepower, a manual transmission, and enough nostalgia in its design to please anyone missing the ’70s.<\/p>\n

Tod Warmack, co-founder of Trans Am Worldwide (which is the sister company to Trans Am Depot<\/a>), said the 70\/SS was seven years in the making. This it the same team that reintroduced the Bandit Trans Am<\/a> with Burt Reynolds and created the 455 Super Duty Trans Am<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like any Chevelle, the special edition starts with what’s under the hood: A V-8. Trans AM Worldwide will offer three trim levels of the 70\/SS with the base car being powered by GM’s LT-1 6.2-liter V-8 with 450 hp sent to the rear wheels. Top-spec level cars, of which there will only be 25 made, will feature Tran Am Worldwide’s LS6\/X 454 V-8 engine with 1,500-plus hp and rear-wheel drive. Mid-trim cars will feature a Magnuson supercharged 396 V-8 engine, though output wasn’t disclosed. Buyers can choose between an automatic or manual transmission, but we implore buyers to #GiveAShift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on the current Camaro’s underpinnings<\/a>, the modern day interpretation of the Chevelle Super Sport should run circles around its namesake thanks to GM’s Alpha platform.<\/p>\n

The exterior design is a pure throwback with round quad LED headlights, horizontal triple-stack LED taillights, a dual exhaust, and two stripes running the length of the convertible. The Camaro’s soft-top is retained and fits the car’s overall design.<\/p>\n

The interior is nearly identical to the Chevrolet Camaro except for some recolored trim bits, a Hurst shifter, recovered leather seats, and a steering wheel seemingly pulled from the C7 Corvette.<\/p>\n

The 70\/SS will cost $150,000 and can “go north” from there based on customization and options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
