CHEVROLET MALIBU XTREME CONCEPT HITS THE STREETS WITH STYLE AND PERFORMANCE
Engineered on the Epsilon architecture and featuring timeless styling, the new Chevy Malibu is a perfect choice for anyone seeking a sedan that embodies versatility, innovation and safety in a dynamic ride package. With Malibu XTREME, Chevrolet and GM are showcasing a wide range of parts and body kits that allow customers to personalize and customize their vehicle to their individual lifestyles.
Great looks and performance are the two primary requirements for any tuner vehicle, and Malibu XTREME, delivers in droves. Up front, in back and from a profile, there are plenty of styling elements to this street machine. Carbon Kevlar, for example, is used to accent the front and rear fascias, rocker moldings, the headlamp bezel, grille crossbar and the trim bar on the rear deck lid. From a profile, it’s hard to miss to rocker moldings, the custom hood with twin air extractor ducts and the rear wing.
Combine all of Malibu XTREME’s exterior styling elements with aggressive 19-inch wheels, Toyo Proxes P235-35ZR/19 tires and a suspension that is much closer to the ground, and the result is a vehicle that looks like it belongs on a slot track.
Inside, the theme is one of high-tech and “sound” performance. The driver and front passenger are treated to Sparco Torino 2 reclining black leather seats, while the rear leather seat features modified foam and trim to complement the front sport seats. A carbon fiber pattern accentuates the seat inserts. Carbon Kevlar accents the inside of the Malibu XTREME, including on the instrument panel and on the horn trim.
Driving or riding in the Malibu XTREME should be entertainment enough in most instances. When it isn’t, however, Malibu XTREME offers a Pioneer AVHP 7500 stereo system that can play CD, DVD and MP3 formats – in addition to AM/FM and XM Satellite Radio. A true delight for any audiophile, the system delivers 1200 watts of total power through Pioneer amplifiers and speakers.
Answering the second tuner requirement, Malibu XTREME is outfitted with a 2.0-liter, intercooled and supercharged Ecotec engine that delivers 240 horsepower. An engine this good must be displayed, so Malibu EXTREME’S engine features a ceramic-coated exhaust manifold with dual outlets for improved performance, carbon Kevlar cooling fan, radiator module cover and battery cover.
Malibu XTREME is finished in Tangerine Orange paint.
Chevrolet showcases its XTREME vehicle concepts targeted at the “tuners” or youth enthusiasts. These XTREME concepts are showcases for GM to develop and evaluate a wide range of parts and body kits that allow customers to personalize and customize their vehicles to their individual lifestyles. These factory designed appearance packages feature unique attachments to fit specific models. Included in XTREME packages are such features as body kits or ground effects, revised rocker panels, distinctive lighting, rear wings and larger wheels and tires.
Chevrolet and GM Service and Parts Operations are considering offering some of the XTREME appearance packages. Also included in Chevy’s XTREME concept vehicle lineup is a greater focus on in-vehicle entertainment, with Pioneer systems that feature DVD, CD and MP3 players, in addition to XM Satellite Radio. The XTREME concept vehicles build on the success of the S-10 XTREME model offering.
Chevrolet continues to expand its line of performance models with SS, Z71 and XTREME.
