A Pony Car developed by Chevrolet; the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro was first shown to the public on May 16, 2015. It is the company’s most successful model to date. Sales began in 2015 for the 2016 model year, with deliveries beginning in 2016.
The sixth-generation Camaro now rides on the GM Alpha platform, which also underpins the Cadillac ATS and CTS, and is equipped with MacPherson struts in the front, as opposed to the previous multi-link configuration. In the new Camaro, General Motors claims that 70 percent of the architectural components are exclusive to the vehicle. The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is available in both coupe and convertible body variants, just like its predecessor. It’s 2.3 inches shorter, 0.8 inches wider, and 1 inch shorter in height than the previous model. It is also more than 200 lb. lighter than a vehicle with equivalent equipment and engine.
1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS are the trim levels that were introduced at the time of launch. On all levels, automatic climate control, cruise control, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, satellite radio, parking assist, and seven airbags are included as standard equipment, as is a rearview camera. For the 2017 model year, a ZL1 trim level with a supercharged 6.2 L V8 engine will be offered. It will have a smaller grill opening for enhanced cooling, as well as a revised front splitter and a carbon hood insert that drains hot air from the engine compartment.
