Classic American vehicles will remain at the heart of the 2021 SEMA. Tuning them is an important part of the auto show's DNA, but it's also becoming more and more related Electromobility turns. But the PPE Chevelle whistles on an electric drive. He relies on a huge combustion engine. With the Chevelle, Chevrolet has built a timeless classic and this example, which will be exhibited at the SEMA stand from Pacific Performance Engineering stands out, convinces in particular with its infernal soundscape, which we clearly prefer to any EV conversion, no matter how great. The built-in engine is so big that we can hardly believe that it even fitted. And it's not a gasoline engine, it's a 6,6 liter Duramax diesel engine, which is equipped with a lot of chrome and actually sounds really good. PPE has been working with the Duramax drivetrain for more than 30 years and this engine in particular has been the focus of the tuner for years.
two huge turbochargers are installed
By the way, the diesel engine in the Restomod-Chevelle has two turbochargers that are as big as a 4,5 kg watermelon. Together they produce up to 1.200 PS & that are only sent to the rear wheels. Andrew Solus from PPE said in an interview about the vehicle: "This car is an absolute beast. We have built a similar example with around 1.000 hp, but this Chevelle is the measure of all things with a little over 1.200 horses. He installed many of our products, such as the oil system, the oil pan and some other components. It's a super sport from 1970, and it is something else than the original.“And we can fully agree with this statement. That others Incidentally, the vehicle to which it refers looks similar to this one. It also had one Duramax diesel, Manual transmission and special tuning to ensure that the engine runs continuously and reliably.
Chrome rims, lowering, custom interior
By the way, PPE had to be in front stronger springs so that the additional weight from the engine does not become a problem. And they had to do that too sump shorten it by a few centimeters to ensure that it fits correctly. That the PPE Chevelle, of course, from the ground up restauriert and is in the condition of a new car, that goes without saying and should not be overlooked. I don't think we need to mention either that countless modern components ensure that you don't miss the comforts of the present.
