EXTERIOR
The massive front part with a huge openings for the cool air induction to the engine´s parts, elongated headlights, big carbonic difusor, the stylish metal as a openings filler, pulled out fender aprons – these all are certain features of this design beast. And we are still not talking about the rest of the car.
Eleganter designed side part will not surely disappoint a fan of racing cars. What is characteristic for the side part are the openings in the front bumpers which task is to dissipate the warm air from the front disks, the drop-type windows, driving mirrors á la F1, carbonic side sills respectivelly difusors. Just the perfect design conformity and determination to create the extreme shining car.
The back part surely can not be forgotten to mention in which there si a huge sliding carbonic wing, carbonic difusor with a pair of exhausts placed in the middle, diode headlights and many other things. But it would take a lot of time to look all its details so there is only one thing possible – to look on it by yourselves.
This car belongs to the middle-sized cars with its dimensions – length 4300 mm, width 1900 mm and heigth 1600 mm what insure the minimal mass of car at a good stability. The appearance is complemented by 20 inches wheels booted in low-profile tyre.

INTERIOR
According to the pictures we can deduce that designers was inspired by the film Batman where, beside the main character, played also the car Batmobil. The indoor is literally overstocked by carbonic features in a combination with the ones made of the dull metal and aluminium. There is also not missing the roll cage and aggressive sport seats made of the carbon. These seats should be stressed because of its extra shaping. It is really crazy but in the best sense. The interesting fact is that there is no alarm clock. All the necessary equipment is in the sport steering-wheel. We are talking about the driving position, speed counter and tachometer, water and oil temperature, gasoline and oil level. All necessary things are under the your thumbs.
PERFORMANCE
Many people should be very pleasantly surprised by the indoor of this car. And many people will be interested in the drive unit. There is hidden a two-litres 16-valves turbodiesel with the common-rail injection and with the output 190 hp (139kW) under the bonnet. Were you surprised by the word diesel? The automobile factories slowly find out the advantages of the diesel engines also on the circuits and thus they managed to implant it by their new special one (see the automobile factory Audi and its R 10 Le Mans).
The Chevrolet WTCC Ultra concept is, till now, the most global project of General Motors. It is interesting on how many roads was this car built. It was designed in Australia, the development alone was in progress in Germany, Switzerland and Great Britain, the engine comes from the South Korea and the car was physically made in Japan. Nice, don´t you think?
