Chevrolet introduced two hot concept coupes at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit targeting next-generation buyers.

The Code 130R is a four-seat coupe (resembling a BMW 1 Series), featuring “heritage performance-inspired” styling, turbocharged engine and rear-wheel drive. The second concept the three-door Tru 140S is a front-wheel-drive, “affordable exotic” (think Lambo Gallardo), four-seat sporty coupe. The Tru 140S is based on the Chevrolet Cruze platform and the Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle with extended range.

Both cars — if produced — would have about 150 horsepower, comfortably seat four, feature innovative storage, WiFi, smart phone integration, heads-up display and Chevrolet MyLink. Retail MSRPs would target the low $20,000s.
