Chevrolet Camaro

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is an American pony car. Produced by automobile manufacturer Chevrolet, it was first introduced to the public on May 16, 2015. Sales started in 2015 for the 2016 model year. The Camaro now utilizes the GM Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS and features MacPherson struts in front, rather than the former multi-link setup. General Motors claims that 70 percent of architectural components in the new Camaro are unique to the car. The sixth generation of Camaro saw production return to the United States as the fourth and fifth-generation models had been assembled in Canada. Like its predecessor, the sixth generation of the Camaro is available in coupé and convertible body styles. Compared to the previous generation, it is 2.3 in (58 mm) shorter, 0.8 in (20 mm) narrower and 1.1 in (28 mm) shorter in height. With similar equipment and engine, it is also more than 200 lb (91 kg) lighter. Production of the sixth-generation Camaro ended on December 14, 2023.

Trim levels and special editions

Trim levels introduced at launch were LT (1LT, 2LT) and SS (1SS, 2SS). Standard equipment on all trims includes automatic air conditioning, cruise control, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, satellite radio, Apple CarPlay, parking assist, and seven airbags. Chevrolet added a base LS (1LS) trim level for the 2017 Camaro. Trim level content for the LS is identical to that of the base 1LT trim, with the exception that the 2.0 L turbocharged inline-4 engine and 6-speed manual transmission would be the only available powertrain options for the LS trim. The LS trim was initially introduced in coupé form, followed later by an LS convertible. The 1LT trim received the 8-speed automatic transmission with shift paddles as standard equipment for 2017. For China, the car was introduced on August 31, 2016 and sold under the RS trim with the 2.0 L turbocharged LTG four-cylinder engine and 8-speed automatic gearbox available for 2017 models onwards as standard. For the 2017 model year, the 1LE Performance Packages returned, tailored for the V6 and V8 powered 6-speed manual-equipped coupé models respectively. Both of 1LE packages offered share a satin black hood wrap, front splitter, and a three-piece rear spoiler. The V6 1LE package adds FE3 suspension from the Camaro SS, 20-inch forged wheels with Goodyear Eagle F1 245/40R20 front tires and 275/35R20 rear tires, Brembo 4-piston front brake calipers, mechanical limited-slip differential with a 3.27:1 ratio, track-cooling package, Alcantara (suede-like) steering wheel, short-throw shifter, dual-mode exhaust, Camaro SS fuel system to accommodate higher-load cornering, and a high-flow front grille. Starting in 2019, the 1LE Package was also available with the four cylinder turbo. It adds similar equipment to the V6 1LE, including the FE3 s

Engines and transmissions

The sixth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro is available with three engine options: The 2.0 liter LTG Ecotec turbocharged straight-four, which has a power output of 275 hp (205 kW; 279 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 295 lb⋅ft (400 N⋅m; 41 kg⋅m) of torque at 3,000 rpm and is the first four-cylinder in a Camaro since the 3rd generation model. It is available on 1LS, 1LT and 2LT trims. The 3.6 liter LGX V6 engine, having a power output of 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS) at 6,800 rpm and 284 lb⋅ft (385 N⋅m; 39 kg⋅m) of torque at 5,300 rpm. The 6.2 liter LT1 V8 engine, which is shared with the Corvette C7 and has a power output of 455 hp (339 kW; 461 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 455 lb⋅ft (617 N⋅m; 63 kg⋅m) of torque at 4,400 rpm. Engines installed on high-performance models include: The 6.2 liter supercharged LT4 V8, which is shared with the Corvette Z06 and has an output of 650 hp (485 kW; 659 PS) at 6,400 rpm and 650 lb⋅ft (881 N⋅m; 90 kg⋅m) of torque at 3,600 rpm. All engines were initially available with a 6-speed manual and 8-speed automatic transmissions, except for the ZL1 models, which use a 10-speed automatic in addition to a standard 6-speed manual. The 8-speed was replaced by the 10-speed automatic in the 2019 SS and 2020 V6 models. European Union's new Euro 6d-Temp automotive emission regulations ended the European sale of Camaro on 31 August 2019. The 6.2-litre V8 engine fitted to the export version of Camaro could not be modified further to meet the new emission regulations. For 2024, GM has discontinued the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG engine and the base 1LS trim level as part of their efforts to slow down production of the Camaro.

HSV Chevrolet Camaro (Australia)

General Motors Holden's performance division, Holden Special Vehicles, was engaged in the import and conversion of the Camaro to right-hand-drive and Australian Design Rules, from the second half of 2018. Unlike Holden's previous American import, the Holden Suburban, the Chevrolet badge remained on the converted Camaro. The Suburban was also originally built as RHD, rather than being converted after arriving in Australia. HSV imported and converted the European Camaro 2SS and ZL1. The manual gearbox, along with the ZL1 model, were made available in 2019. There was a total of 375 ZL1s converted by HSV. Imports stopped in early 2020 following limited sales, with the possibility remaining of resuming them in the future under the new GMSV brand.

Redesign

In fall 2018 (for the 2019 model year), the sixth-generation of the Camaro received a mid-cycle redesign, along with the majority of the Chevrolet car lineup (including the Spark, Cruze and Malibu), in which the front end styling was criticized by many. Changes for the 2019 model year also included a new third-generation MyLink infotainment system, revised exterior and interior styling, new alloy wheel designs, the addition of the 1LE Performance Package for the base 2.0 L I4 equipped LT models (the 1LE Performance Package was previously only offered on V6-equipped LT and V8-equipped SS and ZL1 models), the addition of two new exterior colors (Riverside Blue Metallic and Satin Steel Gray Metallic), and a new performance hood for SS models. The SS also dropped the optional 8-speed automatic in favor of the 10-speed automatic. Driver-assistance features were also improved on the 2019 model, including Lane Change Alert with Side Blind Zone Alert. The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro went on sale in the fall of 2018. The MyLink infotainment systems were replaced by the new Infotainment 3 systems, in both seven-inch and eight-inch sizes, the latter available with connected GPS navigation. Chevrolet also exhibited a 2019 Camaro SS at the 2018 SEMA Show in the new Shock yellow-green exterior color, which became available in early 2019. It also featured a "concept" front end, which unlike the production version of the SS has a body-colored bumper and the Chevy "bow-tie" badge moved to the upper grille. For the 2020 model year, Chevrolet revised the front-end styling of the Camaro SS, the front bumper is now colored and the Chevy "bow-tie" has been moved to the upper grille. A new entry-level V8 trim called the "Camaro LT1 V8" equipped with a 6.2 L LT1 V8 engine rated at 455 hp (339 kW) w

Motorsports

=== GT4 === Pratt Miller developed the Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R for GT4 international racing in 2017. While based on the Camaro ZL1, regulations preventing the use of superchargers meant the naturally-aspirated LT1 6.2 liter V8 from the Camaro SS instead of the ZL1's LT4 supercharged V8 was used in the racing car featuring direct fuel injection, a carbon fiber intake, a custom camshaft, a Motec data acquisition system and a Bosch MS6 ECU. The engine has a power output up to 480 hp (358 kW; 487 PS). Other changes include the Xtrac paddle-shift operated 6-speed sequential transmission, an Xtrac Salisbury type differential, six-piston Brembo front brake calipers with four-piston rear calipers, custom adjustable front and rear antiroll bars, and two-way adjustable Öhlins TTX-46 front struts and TTX-36 rear dampers. Exterior changes include wider front fenders, a hood extractor, aerodynamic side skirts, lightweight carbon fiber doors and front fascia, a custom GT4 specification carbon fiber rear spoiler, GT4 specification front dive planes, and a GT4 specification carbon fiber front splitter the car also has 18-inch forged Forgeline one-piece alloy wheels with racing slicks.

In the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series, the Camaro won its first NASCAR Cup Series championship with driver Chase Elliott. In the 2021 season, Chevrolet backed-up their title with Kyle Larson, who won his first Cup championship.
