Indoor torture testing simulates extreme weather conditions for improved quality and durability for Corry, Erie, Warren and Titusville area drivers
In order to ensure improved quality and durability for Corry, Erie, Warren and Titusville area drivers, 2013 Chevrolet Malibu engineers have taken vehicle development and validation testing to the extremes. The location for all of this torture testing? General Motors’ Climatic Wind Tunnel in Warren, Mich., where all Chevrolet vehicles take on the elements.
The Malibu went on sale at Crotty Chevrolet Buick this past fall, but prior to arrival, on the hottest days of summer, Malibu, which starts at $27,710, withstood blizzard and hurricane conditions inside the wind tunnel. Inside this tunnel, the temperature can replicate 40 below zero and the wind can blow 150 mph. Even on the coldest nights of winter, the tunnel’s temperature can easily climb to 140 degrees under 1,155 watts per square meter of simulated sunshine.
At this state-of-the-art facility, engineers take vehicle development and validation testing to the extremes, subjecting powertrain cooling, cabin heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to the harshest weather conditions found in Death Valley, Calif., and Denali, Alaska.

Indoor torture testing simulates extreme weather conditions
The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Turbo endures sub-zero conditions in the General Motors Climatic Wind Tunnel where engineers take vehicle development and validation testing to the extremes.
Neither snow nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night kept product development engineers from swift completion of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, available at Crotty Chevrolet Buick in Corry, PA. The location for all of this torture testing? General Motors’ Climatic Wind Tunnel in Warren, Mich., where all Chevrolet vehicles take on the elements.
On the hottest days of summer, Malibu, which starts at $23,150.00, withstood blizzard and hurricane conditions inside the wind tunnel, where the temperature can replicate 40 below zero and the wind can blow 150 mph. Even on the coldest nights of winter, the tunnel’s temperature can easily climb to 140 degrees under 1,155 watts per square meter of simulated sunshine.
“The new Malibu was designed with the things that matter to our customers in mind, like starting on cold mornings and not overheating on hot summer days,” said Robert Crotty, VP of Crotty Chevrolet Buick. “The engineers at GM placed the Malibu in extreme conditions – if the car survives there, then it’ll perform extremely well for our Corry, Warren, Titusville and Jamestown NY customers in their enviroments.”
At this state-of-the-art facility, engineers take vehicle development and validation testing to the extremes, subjecting powertrain cooling, cabin heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems to the harshest weather conditions found from Death Valley, Calif., and Denali, Alaska.
2013 Malibu Turbo: A Midsize Sedan with Chevrolet Spirit
September 20, 2012 By
All-new turbocharged engine designed to enhance power, torque and refinement
Throughout its history, Chevrolet has offered stylish, affordable and dependable family cars with a little something extra.
In the case of the 2013 Malibu, that something extra is an all-new 2.0L turbocharged engine designed to infuse the new Malibu midsize sedan with real Chevrolet spirit.
“The all-new turbocharged engine showcases just how capable the new Malibu is, and the turbocharged Malibu is perfect for our Corry, Erie, Warren and Jamestown, NY customers who want a midsize sedan that is fun to drive under a wide range of real-world conditions,” said John Crotty, Owner of Crotty Chevrolet Buick in Corry, PA.
The Malibu turbo can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in 6.3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 155 mph. Even with this performance delivered by its 259-horsepower (193 kW) engine, the Malibu turbo has an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21 city and 30 mpg highway.
With its peak torque of 260 lb.-ft. (353 Nm) sustained between 1,700 and 5,500 rpm, the turbocharged engine also gives Malibu excellent response under a broad range of driving conditions. This added performance comes with greater refinement as the enhanced torque reduces downshifts and helps quiet the buzz sometimes found in four-cylinder engines.
Malibu turbo includes a four-wheel-independent suspension system, hydraulic ride bushings, premium electric steering gear and more.
“With its global pedigree and European tuning, the new Malibu has a robust body structure, premium steering and suspension, and substantial four-wheel disc brakes,” said Mark Meyers, GM global vehicle performance manager.
