The SSR is designed to be sleek, built to be noticed, SSR is the vehicle that captures the Chevrolet brand and design heritage - with all of today's engineering technology. Chevy SSR comes complete with V8 power, rear-wheel drive, and a very cool retractable hardtop. Scheduled to arrive at your Chevy dealership on a limited-production of 2,500 units in early 2003.

The Chevy SSR combines the open air of a sports roadster with a pickup bed. A retractable hardtop - which remains in the production version - makes it a practical street machine. The two-piece power retractable hardtop stows vertically between the seat and the rear storage bed.

Some interesting options include a windbreak, running boards - which really help the appearance - a soft cargo compartment with customized wood, aluminum, or body-color strips, and an auxiliary gauge pack mounted in the dashboard by the shifter, which both provides additional information and boosts the "hot rod" feel.

GM will also sell custom vehicle colors. All these options are regular production options or regular production accessories, meaning they will be included in the window label and vehicle invoice, and come with the GM vehicle warranty if installed prior to delivery by the factory or the dealer.
