The General Motors stand featured its most iconic vehicles: the Corvette Z06, Camaro Concept 2009and Concept Sequel, a futuristic project that eliminates dependence on oil as fuel. On this prototype the company refers to as the “reinvention of the car”.

Among other attractions presented by General Motors in this edition of the Saón de Buenos Aires we highlight the concept Chevrolet Groove, the all-terrain Chevrolet Captiva and the 2006 Chevrolet Astra champion of the TC 2000 sports category.

The Sequel is GM's proposal to offer a cleaner vehicle, whose operation does not require fossil fuels. It also improves many aspects compared to current cars. This concept was first revealed in 2005.

It is one of the first vehicles in the world to successfully integrate the hydrogen fuel cell propulsion system with other advanced technologies such as drive by wire and three-phase electric motors on its wheels.

The Sequel is also interesting for its comfort, as it is a good-sized crossover SUV.

To keep the total weight under, its body is made of aluminium. Another virtue is its high level of security, as it meets US standards.

Chevrolet Captiva

The other road vehicle attractive to the largest public is the Chevrolet Captiva, an off-road vehicle with relatively compact exterior dimensions and a wide range of options in terms of mechanical equipment and also related to interior comfort.

The Chevrolet Captiva aims to combine sport and off-road performance in a crossover vehicle, complementing the package with the comfort and equipment conditions typical of a good family sedan.

The Chevrolet Captiva has three nafteros engines. The first with 4 cylinders, 1,991 cm3 and 150 hp, another 4 cylinders of 2,400 cm3 and 136 hp and finally a V6 of 3,200 cm3 of displacement and 230 hp of power.

This vehicle normally operates with front wheel drive, but when it detects a greater need it automatically activates all-wheel drive.
