All-Black 2021 Chevy Suburban Street Concept Wows In Vegas


The 2021 Chevy Suburban Street Concept was introduced at the 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. It begins with the High-Country Trim level and is dipped in black paint, which pairs nicely with the black interior treatment. It looks spectacular, and it is more than capable under the hood. It features a naturally aspirated 6.2-Liter V8 l87 gas engine, which cranks out 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque. 

This concept is connected to a 10-speed automatic transmission, while Magnetic Ride Control Suspension with Four-Corner Air Ride Adaptive components keep the ride balanced and smooth. For style points, the Street Concept is equipped with a new black grille that boasts the Chevy script, while a matte black hood decal adds even more blacked-out flair. 


It rides on a set of 24-inch custom-cut and polished billet aluminum wheels, which are wrapped in 33-inch 285/30 tires, and a two-tone polished and black finish along with black Bowtie badge center caps. Wheel size is leaning towards a larger and larger diameter, and as such, the Street Concept has upgraded Brembo brakes sporting six-piston front calipers.

As this fully detailed Suburban pulls away, you’ll notice a bow tie and quad polished exhaust tips, along with standard inner tail light graphics that draw attention to the vehicle’s height. The 12-generation Suburban is built on the GM T1 platform and is manufactured by the proud men and women of the Lone Star State in Arlington, Texas.

The annual SEMA show is where brand-new concepts, designs that defy expectations, and new-feature rich vehicles are glamorously displayed. The Chevy Beast Concept that made its debut this year focused on the current popularity of high-performance off-road trucks and took it to the next level.

Under the hood is a 650-horsepower supercharged LT4 crate engine, which sends power to all 37-inch tires with a two-speed transfer case and a 10-speed automatic transmission. The tires are wrapped around 20-inch Raceline TRM260M Avenger True high-grade beadlock wheels. The Big Brake Upgrade system offers discs at all four corners and segment-leading six-piston Brembo calipers. 


This concept’s frame began with a regular Silverado chassis and was then widened to create what eventually grew into this visionary concept. The tubular doors and 13.5 inches of ground clearance are a dream for the Beast’s approach angle, which is a respectable 45 degrees. Much of what can be accomplished in a vehicle like this begins with the suspension, and this killer concept boasts a custom long-travel variety that allows the front wheels to travel a maximum of 12 inches while the back can extend three and a half inches further.

The Beast is capable of  desert running, and you won’t have to worry about the tires, with two spares ready on supplemental 20-inch wheels. Not every single truck owner needs to have the ability to conquer Moab or Death Valley, but knowing you have the goods to do so will bring a smile to your face!
