Sporting its new 2009 racing livery, the new racing version of the Chevrolet Cruze that will compete in the 2009 World Touring Car Championship (WTCC) made its first public appearance at the 33rd Bologna Motor Show in Italy. The Cruze WTCC is currently undergoing a testing and development program in the hands of Chevrolet Europe's three WTCC drivers, Rob Huff, Nicola Larini and Alain Menu. The first time that we will see the Cruze WTCC in action will be on the opening round of the championship, 7-8 March 2009 in Curitiba, Brazil.
"The Bologna Motor Show is one of the most festive car events in Europe," said Eric Neve, Manager Motorsport at Chevrolet Europe. "We could not think of a better place to say goodbye to the Lacetti, which will be racing here (at the show race on 8 December) for the last time and give a warm welcome to new Cruze WTCC. The new race livery really encapsulates everything which Chevrolet is about: it is fresh, colorful, exciting, and out-of-the box."
