According to GM Inside News, the car will closely resemble the concept and feature an aggressive body kit (much like the Aveo RS) and possibly a tweaked suspension for better handling. Furthermore, it's equipped by a turbocharged 1.4-liter 4-cylinder engine, capacity of 138 hp and 200 Nm of torque.
Chevy said, if everything goes according to plan, the Sonic RS could arrive by late 2012.
