Chevrolet has applied some exterior design enhancements to the SS performance sedan for the 2016 model year.
The 2016 Chevrolet SS sports a revised front fascia with new, vertical ducts at the outer edges which have the role to direct airflow over the front wheel openings to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The fascia also features new LED signature lighting.
Also new for 2016 are the functional hood vents and the 19-inch cast-aluminum wheels.
“The 2016 SS design changes more fully express the true driving character of the sedan while further enhancing the car’s overall performance,” said Todd Christensen, Chevrolet Performance Car marketing manager.
Speaking of performance, the 2016 Chevrolet SS gets a new, dual-mode exhaust system that enables quieter performance at low engine speeds and a more muscular engine note at wide-open throttle.
The Chevy SS continues with the same 6.2-liter V8 engine which is SAE-certified at 415hp and 415lb-ft (563Nm) of torque. The engine can be mated to either an optional six-speed manual gearbox or a standard paddle-shift six-speed automatic transmission.
With the standard six-speed auto, the 2016 Chevrolet SS sprints from 0 to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 4.7 seconds.
