Chevrolet presents the Camaro Military Tribute, a one-off tribute car dedicated to American veterans that will be auctioned in January by Barret-Jackson in Scottsdale, Arizona, with all the proceeds going to the Achilles Freedom Team, which helps wounded veterans overcome their injuries through mainstream athletics, primarily marathons.

This silver Camaro has been designed by artist Mickey Harris and is meant to honour the five armed forces of the US: Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard. It features the American flag and an eagle on the hood, battle scenes and some of the military’s highest individual awards and current campaign medals on the sides, and the words “Strength and Honor” under the rear spoiler.

Chevrolet Global Marketing and Strategy vice president Chris Perry commented: “We at Chevrolet want to do all we can to show our gratitude to the men and women serving in our armed forces, those who come home with life-changing injuries, who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country.”

The upcoming 2011 SEMA will see the unveiling of some Chevrolet tunings based on Sonic and Cruze models, a further demonstration of GM commitment towards smaller and fuel efficient cars. Chevrolet vice-president Chris Perry stated that “the heritage of Chevrolet cars like the Corvette and Camaro is being expressed in smaller packages for the next generation.”

The Sonic Z-Spec 1 has upgraded calipers, suspension and exhaust system while red paintjob, rear spoiler, graphic package, unique grille and white 18″ wheels are its most distinctive aesthetic traits. The cabin features red and black finishing and a number of other details accentuating its sporty attitude. The Sonic Z-Spec 2 can be considered an aggressive evolution of the Spec 1, from which it can be easily recognized becuase of the white livery and black rims. These two models will soon be joined by a third variation called Sonic Dusk, which will be quite similar to its two ’sisters’ but with less aggressive looks. A concept called Sonic Z-Spec 4D will also be presented, but this car will underline a more formal vibe of the model thanks to its Ashen Grey Metallic exterior.

Two tuned concepts of the Cruze will also make an appearence at the SEMA: these models will be presented with Z-Spec and Dusk packages, featuring the same changes described for the Sonic. Chevrolet did not provide any more technical info about the models.
