| The '''Chevrolet Celta''' ('''Suzuki Fun''' in [[Argentina]]) is a [[low cost]] [[supermini car|supermini]] produced by [[General Motors do Brasil]] for the [[Latin America]]n market since 2000. 600,000 Celtas have been built in [[Gravataí]], more than one hundred thousand per year. It is the second cheapest car sold in Brazil, losing only to the [[Fiat Mille]] (actually a rebranded Fiat Uno).{{Fact|date=May 2007}} A [[sedan (car)|sedan]] version is sold as '''Chevrolet Prisma'''.

| ==Evolution==
| |
|
| |
| It was released in 2000 in Brazil as a 3-door [[hatchback]] with a 60 PS 1.0 L [[gasoline engine]], based on the [[General Motors Corsa|Corsa B]] and with design features similar to those of the [[General Motors Vectra|Vectra]]. In 2002 a 5-door version was made available, and the engine power was increased to 70 PS at 6400 rpm, the same VHC (Very High Compression) technology used in the Latin American Corsa C. A 85 PS 1.4 L gasoline engine was added in 2003.

| |
| An "Off-Road" accessories kit was for sale for both old and new Celtas in 2005, and the 1.0 L was converted into a gasoline-ethanol [[flexible fuel engine]] (gasoline versions are still available, especially outside Brazil).
| |
| | |
| In 2006 the Celta underwent a facelift, which provided for a more modern look and an enhancement of build quality. The new front makes it closer to new Chevrolet models, specially the new Brazilian [[Chevrolet Vectra|Vectra]].
| |
| | |
| A sedan version, named '''Chevrolet Prisma''' was released in early 2007. [http://www.globalautoindex.com/news.plt?no=1520] It wasn't meant to replace Classic (a [[low cost]] sedan version of the Corsa B) neither the Corsa Sedan (C), but to fill a market gap between them instead. [http://carroonline.terra.com.br/serverpage_new/default.asp?tipo=1&cod=14&info=14858] The only available engine option is a 1.4 L Econo.Flex gasoline/ethanol flexible fuel engine. Its high compression rate gives as a result a maximum output of 97 PS when running on ethanol and 89 hp when running on gasoline [http://carsale.uol.com.br/noticias/ed101not6654.shtml].

| ==Car details==
| |
| | |
| The 1.0 L gasoline engine has a high power to displacement ratio (70 PS/l). However, this power is only available at 6400 rpm, and the maximum torque is 8.6 kgfm (88 Nm) at 3000 rpm. Today, the Celta is sold only with the 1.0 FlexPower (the 1.4 MPFI stopping production in 2007). In 2002 GM changed the 1.0 MPFI (60 PS) engine to a 1.0 VHC (70 PS), and in 2005 to VHC FlexPower (70 PS with Petrol or alcohol). The total weight is approximately 850 kg (2000 lb).
