At one point, rumors were flying around that GM was very interested in the creation of a compact rear-wheel drive coupe that was to reportedly draw inspiration from the aggressive Code 130R concept.
However, later hints suggested that even if GM was going to take on the task of making such a car, it was not going to look like the concept, but it would use a modified (shortened) version of the platform that underpins the Cadillac ATS.
Engines-wise, it would come with all manner of small displacement turbocharged units, with the base consisting of any number of Opel-based sub-2.0-liter alternatives.
Automotive photo manipulator X-Tomi thought the Code concept was worthy of production in only slightly altered form, and has gone forth and created what he thinks it would look like.
In spite of the rumors that warned against the concept’s design, we say it would not be a bad way for the Chevrolet brand to go, and the car, if priced correctly, it could have the potential to become a hit.
