Discover adventures in new Camaro
When Chevrolet introduced the Camaro back in 1966, it was the first pony car to be produced by General Motors.
The Bowtie team concocted a unique way to introduce this new Chevrolet Camaro sport coupe to members of the motoring press.
Participating journalists were allowed free reign to plot their individual routes to be completed in roughly 36 hours.
The overall objective was to cover 48 states to coincide with the 48 years of Camaro’s existence.
Camaro trim levels will include: 1LT, 2LT, SS1 and SS2 and all will be built at GM’s Lansing Grand River, Mich. plant.
Engine choices will include: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that puts out 275 horsepower along with 295 pound feet of torque; a 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 that delivers 335 horsepower and 284 pound feet of torque and the cream of the crop 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 that was introduced on the Corvette Stingray — it cranks out 455 horsepower while also developing a like figure for pound feet of torque.
Transmission choices offered are a 6-speed manual gearbox, or an optional 8-speed automatic.
The exterior design is aerodynamically optimized and displays a bolder, more aggressive and somewhat sinister look, especially when finished in black.
The exterior exhibits a tighter and leaner sculpted persona featuring all-new lighting executions that include LED technology.
The interior styling is also all-new, and focuses on the center console shifter.
The steering wheel sports a flat bottom and controls and other switchgear is simplified and intuitive, and unique air vent control rings eliminate the need for conventional buttons and switches.
The Drive Mode Selector is an all-new feature that can tailor up to eight vehicle attributes for four modes:
6.2-liter VVT Direct High Pressure fuel injected, 455 horsepower V8, six-speed manual or optional 8-speed automatic
Fuel consumption: TBD mpg city/ highway
