Spy Shots: Chevrolet HHR SS
June 7, 2006 10:50PM by Michael Savio
Based on these images, Chevrolet looks to be working on a turbo-powered version of its HHR crossover, which is likely to wear an “SS” badge. The telltale intercooler seems to suggest the HHR will get the Solstice GXP’s direct-injected turbo-four cranking out 260-hp and 260 lbs.-ft. of torque. The HHR SS will ride on larger wheels and tires.
With a refresh to the HHR on Chevy’s calendar, the SS may not be seen until the refresh.

The grille is also revised, with a wide open mesh allowing more air to reach the radiator. This prototype HHR SS is wearing new running boards connecting the front and rear fenders and, as usual, a larger exhaust tip. […]
