Camaro 2010
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be the culmination of the much anticipated return of the Camaro name since GM ended production in 2002. The first official word that the Chevrolet Camaro might reappear in 2010 was at the North American international Auto Show where in January 2006 GM unveiled the Camaro Concept, which stuck with the original Camaro formula of 2 doors, 4 passenger rear wheel drive coupe. Then in 2007 again at the North American International Auto Show GM unveiled the stunning Camaro Convertible Concept, at the time Ed Peper (Chevrolet General Manager) remarked “If this Camaro convertible doesn’t make your heart beat faster, you should see either your optometrist or your cardiologist because you have a problem”. It was on the 10th August 2006 that Rick Wagoner GM CEO stated “As evidence that we’re not completely brain dead, GM will build the Chevy Camaro”.
This all new version of the Chevrolet Camaro was meant to go into production in 2008 but due to delays will start production in January 2009 for sale in 2009 for the 2010 model. On the 21st July GM officially unveiled the production model of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro. The official 2010 Chevrolet Camaro will be available in LS, LT and SS trim levels. The LS, LT trim level will be powered by the 3.6l V6 producing 300hp. While the manual version of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS will be powered by the 6.2L LS3 V8 producing 422hp. The automatic version of the SS will have the new variant of the LS3 called the GM L99 which produces 400hp. This new L99 V8 comes with Active Fuel Management which allows the engine to run on 4 cylinders under light load conditions such as highway cruising thereby improving fuel economy.
