Rallycross Chevy Sonic Hatchback

Image Source: RACER WEBSITE

Over the past few weeks there have been rumors floating around the web about a possible Sonic entry into a rallycross circuit.  Today, more details began to emerge about this rallycross Sonic hatch.  According to a recent article featured on RACER.COM, Chevy will be the factory sponsor for driver Pat Moro who will be driving the Sonic hatchback (1).  For the full article please refer to this link: http://www.racer.com/chevy-sonic-set-to-debut-at-charlotte-global-rallycross/article/312436/

Details on the power-train were discussed in an interview with driver Pat Moro (2) by The Racing Insiders (3) where we learn of a Chevy supported all-wheel drive drivetrain powered by a 2.0L turbocharged engine.

The design of the rally Sonic looks great and we are happy to see a hatch receiving some well deserved attention.  A few months back we envisioned a Sonic hatchback racer here: SONIC RACER.  Hopefully, as the season progresses the team will begin to gain some ground against the other teams.  Go team, go!
