Holden flying the Chevy banner on US soil

The first V8Supercar has arrived in the US with the Holden "Car of The Future"arriving in Texas as part of the Austin 400's pre-event promotional campaign.

The car was the first 2013-spec "Car of The Future" to carry the Holdenbodywork and used as part of the development process for the new cars.

The new Chevrolet SS road car is actually built in Australia andexported to the US in left-hand drive form.

Whether running as a Holden Commodore in V8 Supercars or as a Chevrolet SS inNASCAR competition, the new car has been highly successful in 2013.

In seven NASCAR events so far this year (including the Sprint Unlimited andBudweiser Duels), Chevrolet has won four of the races.

In V8 Supercars, the GM brand has been evenmore dominant, winning six for six including both legs of the Clipsal 500 andall four races in last week's support race at the Australian Formula 1 GrandPrix in Melbourne.
