Dressed in Ceramic Silver Metalure paint and powered by a Vortec 6000 6.0-liter V-8 producing 345 horsepower and 380 lbs.-ft. of torque, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer SS concept vehicle makes a modern performance statement, while acknowledging Chevy's performance past.

TrailBlazer's sporting characteristics are drawn from its robust and agile chassis. Hydroformed frame side rails provide the foundation for responsive suspension systems, consisting of double A-arms in the front and a sophisticated five-link rear suspension.

TrailBlazer SS builds on that foundation to turn a sporty ride into a downright exhilarating experience. Progressive-rate performance springs lower TrailBlazer SS by 2 inches, enhancing cornering and giving the vehicle a more aggressive stance. Additional handling and appearance enhancements come from 20-inch Budnik aluminum wheels and Goodyear Eagle GT II tires. Behind the wheels, large four-piston brake calipers clamp down on the brake rotors.

As for its engine, a 345-horsepower small block V-8 from a GM full-size SUV was transplanted into the TrailBlazer SS - another nod to early muscle cars that featured engines from larger vehicles. A heavy-duty four-speed automatic transmission backs the engine, and a Corsa 2.5-inch-diameter stainless steel performance exhaust system provides a muscle car-appropriate exhaust note.

The exterior appearance of TrailBlazer is unique, thanks to new front and rear fascias, lower rocker panels, elimination of the roof rack, tinted crystal-look taillamps, and SS badging. The vehicle's Graphite leather interior says "SS," too, with embroidered seats and floor mats, an SS-specific instrument panel, Chevy "bowtie" leather-wrapped steering wheel and drilled aluminum sport pedals.
