There ain’t no muscle like Detroit muscle,
and British fans of the iconic cars that ruled American roads throughout the
1960s can now place orders for the modern incarnation of one of the greatest
muscle cars of all time – the Chevrolet Camaro.
the Coupe or £39,995 for the soft-top Convertible model, the new Camaro exudes all of the attributes that made the original muscle cars famous – great performance, stunning looks and incredible value for money.
In addition to the standard models,
Chevrolet is also offering, for a limited time only, the 2012 45th
anniversary Camaro, finished in striking Carbon Flash Black with bespoke red
and silver anniversary stripes, dark silver 20-inch alloys, a unique 45th
anniversary leather interior with red, white and blue stitching and a one-off
white-backed instrument panel. It’s priced at £36,495 for the Coupe or £41,495
for the Convertible.
All models come with a six-speed manual
gearbox, but are available with a six-speed automatic transmission as a £1,500
option.
Power comes from a 6.2-litre V8 engine developing
432 PS (405 PS auto), with 0-62 mph acceleration between 5.2 seconds (manual
Coupe) and 5.6 seconds (auto Convertible). All Camaros have an electronically
limited top speed of 155 mph.
