Chevrolet confirms HHR SS
October 24, 2006 9:59AM by Michael Savio
A Chevrolet marketing executive confirmed that the automaker is working on an SS version of its HHR (see HHR spy shots and more here). Cheryl Catton, director of car marketing and retail integration for Chevrolet, told Automotive News at the South Florida International Auto Show that the HHR SS gives buyers, “one more option to think about when they walk in.”
While it is unknown exactly what will power the HHR SS, the loudest rumor says that the HHR SS will be powered by the same 260-hp 2.0L turbocharged, direct-injection four that will be seen in the Pontiac Solstice GXP and the Saturn Sky Red Line. And with the front-mount intercooler, that seem to be the only option that makes sense.

Chevy seems to be prepping an SS version of every model in its line-up. While some of them seem to be watering the brand down, like the Cobalt SS (none Supercharged), but if this one has the 260-hp engine this should do a great job.

[…] Spy photographers caught prototypes of the recently confirmed 2008 Chevrolet HHR SS during testing at the Nürburgring. Featuring more power from an expected turbocharged 2.0L engine with around 260-hp, the HHR SS will likely offer impressive performance. With numerous Nürburgring-tuned suspension modifications, likely to include a revised electric power steering system, the HHR SS will have handling to match its straight line performance. […]
