DETROIT, MI- General Motors Co. will unveil a new Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne concept vehicle Monday at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas.

The performance-oriented, blacked-out 2014 Silverado regular cab features a host of lightweight carbon fiber features, lower ride height and a 420-horsepower EcoTec3 6.2-liter V8 engine, according to the Detroit-based automaker.

“This thing really gets up and goes,” said David Ross,

Chevrolet performance and specialty vehicles

design manager.

The engine is unavailable in regular-production Silverado regular cab models, giving the Cheyenne a 65-horsepower and 77 lb-ft boost over the production 5.3-liter V8.

For the truck, Ross said designers "really borrowed heavily" from the 2014 Chevy Camaro Z/28, which was unveiled earlier this year at the 2013 New York International Auto Show.

The Chevrolet Silverado Cheyenne concept embraces the adage that less is more.

Camaro Z/28 features and inspirations include performance seats, Brembo carbon ceramic brakes, charcoal-painted 19-inch aluminum wheels, high-performance tires and an extractor vent on the hood.

Unique lightweight features built into the Cheyenne concept include carbon fiber replacements for the bumpers, tailgate and inner cargo box, shaving approximately 200 pounds from the 4,503 pounds base curb weight of a 5.3-liter-equipped Silverado regular cab with a 6’6” box.

“We think this could be a highly-competitive performance truck," said Sandor M. Piszar, GM performance vehicles and motorsports director of strategy and planning.

GM says the vehicle is only a concept, but officials are “continually exploring new ways to give Silverado customers more.”

“With the Cheyenne concept, we’ve taken the low-mass concept to a new level – with exciting results,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet marketing, in a statement.

GM rolled out all of its Chevy performance vehicles before unveiling the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro SS at the New York International Auto Show, and then stunned the crows with a new 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 edition.

GM introoduced Cheyenne as a premium Chevy truck trim level in 1971. The name also appeared a futuristic 2003 concept vehicle.

Numerous automakers, including GM, are expected to unveil an array of vehicles at the show.

GM has already released photos and information on another of vehicles expected to be featured at SEMA Show – from a performance Spark EV to unique concept pickups for firefighters and black ops missions.

The '13 SEMA Show – from Nov. 5-8 in Las Vegas – features thousands of exhibitors showing aftermarket and custom parts and vehicles. Last year, more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers attended the show.
