Chevrolet's Chevy Beast is an SUV favorite

Chevrolet unveiled the Chevy Beast concept car at the 2021 SEMA Show. The SUV looks like it's been teleported from the future.


Creating a car, the manufacturer expected to produce the maximum effect on the audience. Now we can say with confidence - it worked. Based on the chassis of the Silverado, the Chevy Beast concept is unlike any other production pickup truck.

To create an image, the frame was shortened, providing it with a tubular roll cage made of chromoly.

Externally, the Chevy Beast is aggressive, it is prepared for high-speed races in the desert. No wonder the layout has a lot in common with traditional buggies.



Body overhangs are made minimal, the angle of entry / exit / separation is 45 / 46,6 / 35 degrees, respectively.

SUV, of course, all-wheel drive. Hidden under the hood is a top-end turbocharged Chevrolet Performance LT4 engine. This is a V8 with a displacement of 6,2 liters, developing 650 hp. With.

Gearbox automatic ten-speed 10L90. A two-stage distributor has been installed.

The Chevy Beast's suspension is off-road with huge travel. Behind is Panhard rod. Ground clearance 13,5 inches. Fox shock absorbers. Suspension travel is 12 and 15,5 inches front and rear, respectively.

260-inch Raceline RTM20M Avenger Beadlock wheels, AMP Terrain Attack M/T off-road tires. It is uncomfortable to ride on the highway on such wheels, but on the roads it shows its best side.

The Silverado's braking system was removed, the Chevy Beast received the Big Brake Upgrade System from Chevrolet Performance.

There is no need to talk about some frills in the design of the interior for a car in the style of a buggy. The level of comfort here is Spartan. Bucket seats from Recaro have developed lateral support and four-point seat belts. Only such a system will keep the driver and passengers during crazy trips over rough terrain.

At the same time, the manufacturer could not resist installing fashionable LCD displays on the dashboard of an SUV. All data about the technical condition and driving modes of the car are displayed there.



Chevrolet is positioning its concept car as the ideal vehicle for the desert. It is already clear who they see as clients - residents of Arab countries. There is plenty of sand there, and drivers have the opportunity to buy such expensive toys for themselves.
