Sport Cars i8 Concept

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be the culmination of the much anticipated return of the Camaro name since GM ended production in 2002. The first official word that the Chevrolet Camaro might reappear in 2010 was at the North American international Auto Show where in January 2006 GM unveiled the Camaro Concept, which stuck with the original Camaro formula of 2 doors, 4 passenger rear wheel drive coupe. Then in 2007 again at the North American International Auto Show GM unveiled the stunning Camaro Convertible Concept, at the time Ed Peper (Chevrolet General Manager) remarked “If this Camaro convertible doesn’t make your heart beat faster, you should see either your optometrist or your cardiologist because you have a problem”. It was on the 10^th August 2006 that Rick Wagoner GM CEO stated “As evidence that we’re not completely brain dead, GM will build the Chevy Camaro”. This all new version of the Chevrolet Camaro was meant to go into production in 2008 but due to delays will start production in January 2009 for sale in 2009 for the 2010 model. On the 21^st July GM officially unveiled the production model of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The official 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be available in LS, LT and SS trim levels. The LS, LT trim level will be powered by the 3.6l V6 producing 300hp. While the manual version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS will be powered by the 6.2L LS3 V8 producing 422hp. The automatic version of the SS will have the new variant of the LS3 called the GM L99 which produces 400hp. This new L99 V8 comes with Active Fuel Management which allows the engine to run on 4 cylinders under light load conditions such as highway cruising thereby improving fuel economy. Other features of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro include full independent suspension four wheel disc brakes (with four piston Brembo calipers on the SS models) a Stabili Trak electronic stability / traction control system. Safety features for the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro include head curtain side impact air bags plus seat mounted thorax side air bags. There will also be an RS appearance package available on the LT and SS models which include HID headlights with special halo rings, spoiler and tail lamps and wheels specific to the RS package on the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro.

Press Release – Apr 28, 2011 – Chevrolet is proud to announce the exclusive 2012 Chevrolet Honor & Valor Limited Edition Camaro SS – a vehicle whose rare combination of power, performance and precision exemplifies the indomitable spirit of our troops, and is ready for action as America’s 21st century sports car.

General Motors released in 2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition for the armed forces of the United States, to show their appreciation for the American troops. In recognition of Chevrolet’s 100th birthday, only 99 units of the “Honor & Valor” Limited Edition Camaro SS will be built and are only available to eligible members* of the military (the first unit will be auctioned with net proceeds going to Cell Phones for Soldiers). Orders are now being accepted and will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis.

This model is basically a collection of 2012 Camaro SS, which comes with special accents such as a painted body kit, white side stripes, premium floor mats, XM Satellite Radio, black leather seats, a so-called special “honor” badge, a grille insert and surround similar and in addition to the rumbling, American-as-it-can-get 6.2-liter V-8 with a choice of manual or automatic transmission.

Chevrolet unveiled a high-performance vehicle most sports car enthusiasts would go crazy for. GM presented the most powerful Camaro ever build. Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 makes its official debut at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. The ZL1 brings the Camaro line to greater heights with higher performance charged by V-8 engine generating approximately 550 horsepower.

The 2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition is powered by LSA 6.2L supercharged engine with maximum output of 550 horsepower (410 kW) and 550 lb.-ft. of torque (677 Nm). Engine is combined with six-speed manual transmission with a dual-disc clutch system. Not only that, this fast baby is equipped with highly improved chassis and suspension systems for maximum sports car performance.

The central goal of the 2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition’s development was creating something new –a Camaro intended to reach optimal lap times on top road-racing circuits and excellent driving dynamics on the street. To achieve that goal, engineers evolved many of the existing Camaro’s systems, as well as incorporated new technologies such as electric power steering and Magnetic Ride Control, the world’s fastest-reacting suspension system.

“Camaro ZL1 is about high-tech performance and design, and is a type of car no one has ever brought to this segment previously,” said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “It’s the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we’ve chosen a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history.”

The 2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition name is derived from the all-aluminum racing engine of the same name, which was developed in the late 1960s and installed into a handful of regular-production 1969 Camaros. Only 69 were built with the engine, but they’ve achieved mythical status among enthusiasts, as they represented the pinnacle in Camaro performance – until now. The 2012 ZL1 model is designed to be a major leap forward for the Camaro Chevrolet Sports Cars, bringing anew level of performance capability to the segment.

2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition is equipped with a revolutionary new suspension system includes Magnetic Ride Control and electric power steering. The braking system is Brembo with dimensions of 14.6in. (370 mm.) front and 14.4 inches (365 mm.) rear.

All of the Camaro exterior colors will be offered with the ZL1, but black is the only interior color. The unique exterior features are complemented with a black center section on the hood. Inside, the 2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition has heated leather seats with microfiber inserts and ZL1 logos embroidered on the front headrests. Microfiber suede is repeated as an accent on the instrument panel, adding a richer look to the interior.

Interior – 2012 Chevrolet Sports Cars Camaro ZL1 Edition is tailored for high-performance driving. The front seats feature microfiber suede inserts. Other enhancements includea redesigned steering wheel, alloy pedals, Head-Up Display with unique performance readouts and the “four-pack” auxiliary gauge system featuring a boost readout.

Engineers have already driven Camaro ZL1 prototypes extensively at demanding road courses in the U.S. and Germany, with final testing being completed through the balance of 2011. Development ongoing, targeting launch at the beginning of 2012.
