Chevrolet Camaro: Impressive Performance and Advanced Sports Design

Introduction

The sixth generation of Chevrolet Camaro offers high levels of performance, technology, and enhancements designed to maintain its leadership in the sports car category over the past five years.

Vehicle Performance

The sixth-generation Camaro delivers a faster and more agile driving experience, thanks to its completely new design structure and broader powertrain options. The engines available include:

• All-new 3.6-liter V6.
• 6.2-liter V8, capable of producing an estimated 455 horsepower and 617 Nm of torque, exclusive to the most powerful Camaro SS variant.

Both engines come with an optional eight-speed automatic transmission.

Exterior Design

The Camaro platform is more agile and sturdy, with smaller dimensions complemented by its sleek and dramatic exterior design. The precisely tuned exterior shape contributes to the vehicle's aerodynamic efficiency, reducing drag and enhancing control and effectiveness.

In-Cabin Technology

The driver-focused cabin features class-leading control technologies, including:

• A new drive mode selector system.
• An adjustable instrument panel.
• Customizable ambient lighting.

Performance Enhancements

To make it the best Camaro ever, and the best sports car available in the market, Chevrolet focused on three main areas:

Performance

• The vehicle's overall mass has been reduced by 200 pounds or more, depending on the model, resulting in a more agile and responsive driving experience.
• The new 3.6-liter V6 engine features direct fuel injection, variable valve timing, and an active fuel management system (cylinder deactivation) for the first time.
• The most powerful Camaro SS ever, equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 with direct injection, producing an estimated 455 horsepower and 617 Nm of torque.
• An active suspension with magnetic ride control is available for the Camaro SS for the first time.
• Enhanced control and performance enable the Camaro SS to achieve better lap times compared to the fifth-generation Camaro 1 LE.

Technology

• A completely new drive mode selector system adjusts the vehicle's performance to support four different modes: Snow/Ice, Tour, Sport, and Track.
• Exclusive Spectrum interior lighting offers 24 different ambient lighting effects on the instrument panel, doors, and center console.
• High-definition adjustable color displays, including dual 8-inch screens available as an option.

Exterior Design

• A polished and more attractive exterior complements the sleek and taut design structure.
• Greater emphasis on customer customization features through a wider range of options.
• An improved design that supports aerodynamic dynamics, resulting from extensive testing in wind tunnel facilities totaling 350 hours.

Conclusion

The sixth generation of the Camaro is set to hit showrooms in April 2016, available in the LT and SS trims.
