Description
The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro redefines American muscle with a sixth-generation platform blending turbocharged efficiency and V8 power across LT, SS, and ZL1 trims, available as coupe or convertible. Base models feature a 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder producing 275 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, while the SS upgrades to a 6.2-liter V8 delivering 455 horsepower and 455 lb-ft, with the ZL1’s supercharged version reaching 650 horsepower and 650 lb-ft. Transmission choices include a precise 6-speed manual or an 8-speed automatic with paddle shifters, paired with rear-wheel drive and an optional magnetic ride control suspension for razor-sharp handling. Performance metrics highlight 0-60 mph in 5.4 seconds for the turbo, 4.0 for the SS, and 3.5 for the ZL1, with top Brembo brakes and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires ensuring track-ready stopping power. Fuel economy spans 20/30 mpg city/highway for the four-cylinder to 16/25 for the V8, supported by a lightweight architecture shaving up to 200 pounds from its predecessor. Interior refinements include an 8-inch MyLink touchscreen with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, wireless charging, and available Recaro seats in premium leather or suede. Safety tech comprises standard rearview camera, stability control, and optional blind-spot monitoring, forward collision alert, and lane departure warning across ten airbags. Dimensions offer a 110.7-inch wheelbase, 188.3-inch length, and curb weights from 3,354 to 3,957 pounds, with a 9.1-gallon fuel tank and trunk space of 9.1 cubic feet in coupes.
