2010 Chevrolet Camaro Born Again Car Review and Specs | 2010 Chevrolet Camaro Born Again Car Wallpaper Pictures Pics

The all-new Chevrolet Camaro, making its European debut at Paris, is a high performance sports coupé that spices its revered appeal with advanced, contemporary technology.

"The new Camaro delivers the best of both worlds – great heritage and a thoroughly modern, advanced package of performance, comfort and technology," says Wayne Brannon, Executive Director, Chevrolet Europe. "Its styling and driving appeal provide a distinctive choice for customers seeking a performance-orientated vehicle. It also offers great value for money that our competitors simply can't match."

Back to the Future

With a strong, low-slung stance and front to rear body proportions that remain faithful to the original concept, the design of the new Camaro acknowledges its rich past without being trapped in a 'retro' focus.

That V-shaped nose, the 'gills' in the rear quarter panels and the broad rear shoulders are all distinctive Camaro cues. While these elements make the new Camaro instantly recognizable, their execution is crisp and modern. Melding the traditional with the contemporary was a key requirement for the new Camaro design team. "We are acknowledging the Camaro's strong heritage but recognize that keeping this modern sports car relevant means more than simply honoring a classic car," says Ed Welburn, Vice President of GM Global Design.

Interior Themes

Attention to detail and expressing a balance between heritage and modernity, characterizes 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 contrasts with an ambient light package which uses advanced LED light pipe technology to give the cabin a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Detailing, such as large, chrome-trimmed controls, low-gloss surfaces and premium fabric or 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 1969 Camaros, but now adds contemporary LED backlighting.

Mighty Powertrain

A superb 422 hp, 6.2-liter V8 engine generating 553 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 good low-end torque and strong top-end power. When fitted with the six-speed automatic transmission, it delivers 400 hp/535 Nm and includes GM's fuel-saving Active Fuel Management system, enabling it to cruise on only four cylinders during light load conditions.

Electronic stability control (GM's StabiliTrak system) and traction control both come as standard equipment. A Competitive/Sport mode is adjustable for performance driving, such as on track days. With the six-speed manual transmission, this also includes a Launch Control feature for consistently quick take-offs. The large, ventilated disks (355/365 mm), clamped by four-piston aluminum Brembo calipers, ensure impressive braking performance and are also designed to withstand punishing track day use. 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.

GM's new global rear-drive architecture provides a strong body structure that enhances safety, running refinement and handling. World-class build quality is enabled by one-piece body side stampings and extremely precise tolerances between body panels.

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.
