LMAX Vehicles

[BigNorm]

I know we've covered this, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. What type of cars are being used in the new auto stunt show? I know someone said they were an off-shoot of Chevy, but I can't remember the brand. Thanks for the help.

GM's European off-shoot the Opel Corsa
You'll probably see a chevy logo on those cars soon enough though

Here's a link to Opel Sites with info on the car

The ones in the most recent update pictures posted on WDWmagic still have the Opel logo on them in the front grill. They probably will be switched over to Chevy logos before the show starts.

Assuming LMA is a direct clone from Paris in every sense, then the cars will be like street cars in looks only. Lightweight body panels (quickly replaced too if dented), custom suspension, rigid interior cage, mid mount engines on some, perspex windows (to flex with the cars landing - glass would break) are some of the mods on the show vehicles. I guess most of the surprises are out of the bag now, but there are a few other cars REALLY custom built for the show.

Looking forward to the Florida videos rolling in...
