2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

The 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, named for the all-aluminum racing engine developed in the late 1960s and used in a handful of regular-production 1969 Camaros, made its debut at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show on February 9th.  Planned to launch at the beginning of 2012, it features a 6.2L supercharged V-8 LSA engine, a 6 speed manual transmission, and magnetic ride along with several other new features that makes it the highest performing and most technologically advanced car developed in its class.  Its estimated launch is set for early 2012.

Sporting beauty and brains, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1’s design is entirely functional while providing an elegant and powerful display.  It uses electric power steering and Magnetic ride Control to combine the speed and precision needed to match top lap times on road-racing circuits with the safety and driving dynamics of a town car.

The LSA 6.2L supercharged engine within the 2012 Camaro produces an estimated 550 horsepower and 550lb.-ft. of torque, making it the fastest Camaro ever released.  Built on GM’s all-aluminum, small-block V-8, the LSA incorporates heat-resistant aluminum-alloy cylinder heads and an intercooled supercharged system to support a smooth and comfortable ride.
As a complete high-performance car, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 supports several new features that make it the highest performing car in its class.  Technical highlights:

• The Tremec TR-6060 six-speed transmission, the “MG9” version with a higher torque capacity, operates with a twin-disc clutch and dual-mass flywheel for shift smoothness and easy operation with a newer, shorter throw shifter.

• A dual-mode exhaust system alters the volume levels and character that respond to engine rpm, tuned to give the gar a signature sound.

• A stronger driveshaft and rear axle system, supported in cast iron and differential housing, with limited slip differential.

• The Magnetic Ride Control includes modes selectable by the driver (Tour and Sport).  Provides both shock damping and the highest level of precision, which allows it optimum performance in everyday driving and track situations.

• Advanced track-capable braking system developed with experts from Brembo.

With several other features and achievements yet to be released, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro is greatly anticipated by Courtesy Chevrolet in Phoenix and auto-enthusiasts everywhere.  Where technology and performance are concerned, it is matchless in its class.
