Over the weekend the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro was unveiled in Detroit, giving Mustang and Challenger their newest race-day rival.
The new Camaro brings evolutionary styling much in the same way BMW or Audi move from one to the next. The big news here is a 200 pound weight reduction as well as a footprint which comes in slightly smaller than before.
Performance should be up with three available engines. A new base level 2.0 liter turbocharged four-cylinder has 275 horsepower while the mid-range gets an all-new 3.6 liter V6 with 335 horsepower.
Top of the range is the 6.2 liter V8 in the Camaro SS with 455 horsepower. All three engines can be had with a six-speed manual or a new eight-speed automatic transmission.
An all-new interior continues Camaro’s design themes from before but gets a lot of new technology including an available 8-inch high-definition instrument cluster center screen, customizable with all kinds of information sets.
The center stack gets a large 8-inch infotainment touchscreen plus some slick air vents with HVAC controls integrated into their rotary rings. There’s also a new LED ambient lighting system with 24 different colors than can fade and transition.
Suspension while all-new continues to be a dual pivot MacPherson strut arrangement up front and a five-link independent rear, all of which have increased use of aluminum for weight savings and better transitional responses on the track.
