The Fast Chevrolet, nicknamed the Trueno Naranja, is a racing prototype, designed to run in the Turismo Carretera category, during the 60s.

Ford's idea of preparing a prototype was manifested in a vehicle manufactured entirely by Baufer, mounted on a handmade chassis with reticulated pipes and for whose attention the services of Horacio Steven were required.

After these tragic accidents, Ford decided to withdraw official support from Horacio Steven, to give it to another great trainer: José Miguel Herceg, "the Pole".

[5] This situation, however, was taken advantage of by the driver Carlos Pairetti, who saw in the prototype an ideal car to defeat the Torinos prepared by Oreste Berta.

But due to the tragic accidents involving Oscar Cabalén and Atilio Viale del Carril (his companion died and he was seriously injured), this model was discarded and replaced by the Falcon F-100.

Second, the side intakes for cooling the brakes were eliminated, managing to widen the body by 7 cm, preventing the wheels from protruding.

As a curiosity, it came with the steering wheel located on the right side of the torpedo, something that had ceased to be used after the use of the right lane as a passable road was adopted in Argentina .

Later, General Motors made its contribution, by releasing a series of vehicles with a stock orange, which was used to restore the colors of the car."

"The Orange Thunder came from the name that José Tomás Onetto called it, a sports journalist who covered the races for the Clarín newspaper.

The "Auto Competición SCA" team, owned by Horacio Steven, was in charge of putting Trueno Naranja on track.

"Nene" Néstor García Veiga was given the responsibility of crewing the Orange Thunder because Pairetti traveled to Europe to arrange his incorporation into European Formula 2.

After the following race, the ACA decided to replace the Coronation Grand Prix, with a Triangular Tournament that began on November 3, at the Rafaela Autodrome.

In 1969, Carlos Pairetti tried to defend his title aboard the Trueno Naranja, however, the IKA hosts responded with a new lethal weapon: La Liebre MkIII Torino.

Realizing that nothing could cope with the power of this new machine, Pairetti decided to attack with the same weapons, changing the Orange Thunder for a MkIII Hare, which he motorized with a Chevrolet impeller.

It was thus that in this way he would create the Nova Naranja, a model whose name arose from the original name with which Heriberto Pronello baptized this prototype, maintaining its characteristic orange color.

Meanwhile, the Trueno began to be driven by Néstor García Veiga, who was unable to repeat Pairetti's success at the wheel of this unit.

[10] After having finished the 1969 championship, the Fast-Chevrolet was acquired in 1971 by the former driver and race car preparer Eduardo Bouvier, a resident of the town of Luján, Province of Buenos Aires.

This rider had acquired the unit with which Pairetti had been proclaimed champion of Turismo Carretera in 1968 and had used it to compete in the new Argentine Sports Prototype category.

However, after the announcement of the creation of a replica of this car by a group of students from the National Technological University of the city of Balcarce, 4 Bouvier finally agreed to show the car in public, at the same time starting the restoration of the same, with a view to the festivities that the Road Tourism Corridors Association had programmed in the year 2011, in order to commemorate the 75 years of its foundation.

Once his work was completed, the relaunch of the Orange Thunder finally took place in the 75th Anniversary Caravan organized by the ACTC, in which the drivers and owners of the cars that participated throughout the history of Road Tourism were summoned.
