2012 Aveo hatchback spied on the Nurburgring

hmmm... I wonder if that R8 was just passed, or is just about to pass... :P

Sometimes the unexpected happens. Like catching a Chevrolet Aveo at the Nurburging for instance. Mind you a high-performance version of the tiny hatch would be perfectly suited to the track but this spied model is a normal one. Although previous spy pictures did not convincingly show the car as an Aveo, this is the real deal.
There are a bunch of pics on the WCF site. Look at the details that are visible, and I'm convinced this is the same sheetmetal as the Aveo RS Concept car. Differences being the level of detailing in the headlight clusters, wheels/tires, mirrors, ride height, front fascia, normal rear exhaust (not in the center like the concept car). May be subtle side skirts on the RS concept - haven't decided.
The interesting thing is these pics were posted back in May, well before the concept made its winter appearance on the North American auto show circuit.
This pic from caradvice.com.au shows they retain the motorcycle style instrument cluster (caught doing cold weather testing in Sweden):

Hey, I like the CB radio and all the wires hanging out... :lol: Plus I wonder what exactly is an R8 doing on the same track as Aveo... :shock:

The CB radio could have been installed way better... *g*
The R8 could be hoping to overtake the AVEO... or it's just some guy who had a bit of pocket-money left after filling the tank. Everyone can drive on the Nuerburgring-Nordschleife (I did it once in a borrowed Porsche 911 and had to honk the tourist coaches out of the way... :twisted: )
If you ever come this way and want to test your skills, here are the entry prices for the Nordschleife:
1 Round: € 22,- / approx. US-$28
4 Rounds: € 75,- / approx. US-$95
8 Rounds: € 145,- / approx. US-$185
15 Rounds: € 250,- / approx. US-$320
25 Rounds: € 390,- / approx. US-$500
Ticket for a whole year: € 1.075,- / approx. US-$1.375
The Nordschleife is the one place where you can see most new cars from many manufacturers from all over the world. I watched some test drives of the new Mercedes SLS AMG and the test drives for the new Porsche 911 GT2.
Too bad I have to drive about 250mi to get there... *g*

Well... there are those... but sometimes you'll have to make room for a Ford Transit van (take a look at the video gallery of "Top Gear", Sabine Schmitz did a 10:28min round in a stock 2004 Ford Transit van (british model)) or overtake an ancient Bedford motorhome (again Sabine Schmitz for german TV show D-Motor, with two guys cooling a meal in the back.. look for it Y**T**e )... *bg*
There might even be a motorcoach (bus? I mean something like a Greyhound bus) full of Tourist madly clicking their cameras...

You don't need to censor YouTube... in fact, links are welcome if they're related to the posts/topic. 8)
