Chevy Builds Cruze Engine Powered Beat (Spark) For WTCC Racing

Chevrolet Beat (Spark) is no more 1.0 and 1.2 ltr  engine powered small car. Chevrolet created  a set of special edition Beat (Spark) powered by 1.4ltr turbocharged inline four cylinder engine that powers  Chevrolet Cruze. These Super Chevrolet Beats are made for proving themselves in World Touring Car Championship races scheduled later this year. Cruze engine powered Beats can deliver 140 horse power at maximum. The 1.0ltr and 1.2ltr engine powered Chevrolet produces 67 and 80 horses respectively.

That means the new  1.4 ltr Chevrolet Beat is way ahead in terms of available power. The first appearance of  WTCC Beat will happen in Zolder, Belgium on June 19-20. Hit jump for press release.

ZURICH – LE MANS, 9th June 2010 – The entire Chevrolet family is this week behind the Chevrolet Corvette C6.R GT2 which is participating in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the greatest endurance race in the world. The iconic Chevy sports car, after having dominated the GT-1 scene for many years, is making its debut in the highly-competitive GT-2 class. The two Chevrolet Corvettes entered in Le Mans will be driven by Magnussen-O’Connell-García and Gavin-Beretta-Collard.
The Chevrolet Corvette C6.R has recently received on the French track the well-wishing visit of her two cousins, the Cruze WTCC, the current leader in both the Drivers and Manufacturers categories of the World Touring Car Championship (WTCC), and the youngest member of the family, the Spark WTCC Leading Car.
This spiced version of the Chevrolet’s city car, equipped with a 1.4 turbo and 140 hp engine, has been entrusted the key task of leading the pack in the WTCC, as it will be the official leading car in selected events of the series. The Spark WTCC Leading Car will be displayed in public for the first time at the WTCC round in Zolder on 19-20 June. It will carry a sparking red livery, but only for that occasion. Its definitive “dress” will be the winning design of this year’s ‘Young? Creative? Chevrolet!’ contest for young artist throughout Europe.
