Chevy Blazer EV SS has more power to distract you from the fact that it has been delayed enormously

Do you remember the Chevy Blazer EV SS? Yes, I forgot a bit too. Of course, it was the hero car in “Barbie” almost two years ago, who promised excellent performance at a considerable price, but after years of delays and A rocky rollout of the ordinary blazer EVThe electric crossover lost much of the hype around it.

Well, now it seems that Chevy is trying to give the car a fantastic entrance to make the lost time. The automaker says it will be even more power than advertised: 615 hp and 650 pound-foot torque. Readers with eagle eyes will recognize that those are exactly the same power numbers as The upcoming Cadillac LyriQ-V. It is enough strength to send this sporty EV in just 3.4 seconds from 0-60 if you use Wide watt (WOW) mode. For whatever reason, that number is 0.1 seconds slower than the LyriQ-V is quoted. GM goes gm. Anyway, despite the bump of 557 hp and 648 LB-FT torque, the range is still solid: 303 miles on a single load.

The news was first reported by Road & Track At the end of last week, but Chevy officially confirmed the Power Sprong A press release The announcement of the blazer EV SS as the Daytona 500 Pace Car. It will be the first EV to ever be Tona Tempo, so that’s pretty neat.

This is actually not the first time Chevy de Blazer EV SSThe power reported, according to Road & Track. Last year the automaker raised power to 595 hp and 645 LB-FT torque, but I assumed that it was just not enough.

If you feel compelling (or actually want to see if the Blazer EV SS is real after all this time), finally, The car configurator is live on the Chevy website. A base, front -wheel drive, blazer EV will return $ 45,995 (including destination) to start with. The SS is a fairly little pricer and comes in at $ 61,995. That is also about what you also pay. There are not many options than a few different paint colors and $ 2,950 22-inch black wheels (which you have to skip).

That may sound like a lot of money, but there are not much cheaper ways to get 615 hp in a family car like this for less money. Let’s hope it comes out earlier instead of later, so I don’t have to write another story with the text: “The Blazer EV SS has been postponed for 1,000 different reasons.”
