Europeans get slightly different Camaro with LED taillamps

From AB



Chevrolet Camaro Coupé
An automotive icon reborn

- Segment: Sports car
- In model range since: Autumn 2011

It's strong, low-slung stance tells a story that spans four decades
and remains as exciting today as it was when it was launched in the
late 1960s. The all-new Chevrolet Camaro generation five arrived at
European showrooms in Autumn 2011 and promises to be a hit thanks to
its stunning looks, high performance and great value for money

The Camaro maintains the front-to-rear body proportions synonymous
with the original concept; the design acknowledges its rich past
without being trapped in a 'retro' focus. The immediately recognizable
V-shaped nose that has become a Camaro trademark, together with the
high-intensity discharge headlamps with glowing xenon halo rings,
mimicking deep-inset eyes, give the Camaro an aggressive
ready-to-pounce stance.

The sweeping long hood, with a 10-centimeter power bulge, combined
with the sculpted rear shoulders and short rear deck and finished off
with dual outlet stainless steel exhausts accentuate the Camaro's
iconic look and feel.

Attention to detail and expressing a balance between heritage and
modernity, characterize the new Camaro's interior. A pair of deeply
recessed instrument binnacles, with round gauges in square housings,
is a nod to classic Camaros. This feature contrasts with an ambient
light package which uses advanced LED light pipe technology to give
the cabin a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The detailing – such as large, chrome-trimmed controls, low-gloss
surfaces, premium fabric, and acrylic trim appliqués – conveys a
quality level never seen before in the Camaro. More attention to
detail is evident in the center-console gauge cluster. It takes its
cue from a similar option on the 1969 Camaro, but adds contemporary
LED backlighting.

A superb 432 hp, 6.2L V8 engine generating 569 Nm of torque gives the
new Camaro the muscle to match its looks. First seen on the 2008
Corvette, this engine features high-flow cylinder heads for impressive
low-end torque and strong top-end power. When fitted with the
six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers 405 hp/556 Nm and
includes GM's fuel-saving Active Fuel Management system, enabling it
to cruise on just four of the eight cylinders during light load
conditions.

Electronic stability control (GM's StabiliTrak system) and traction
control come as standard equipment. Four levels of electronic
assistance are available for competitive / sport driving opitions. The
six-speed manual transmission includes Launch Control for consistently
quick starts.

The large, ventilated brake disks (front 355 mm / back 365 mm),
clamped by four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers, ensure impressive
braking performance. The braking system is designed to withstand
punishing track day usage.

The front suspension uses a multi-link strut arrangement with a double
ball-joint configuration. The unique, 4.5-link independent rear
suspension is double-isolated from the chassis for a smoother, quieter
driving experience – and improved cornering.

The Camaro offers comprehensive safety features, including dual-stage
front airbags, front seat- mounted thorax side airbags and head
curtain airbags for front and rear occupants.
