CAMARO 2016
[Chevrolet Logo]
Introducing the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro
The Chevrolet Camaro DNA remains, promising a legacy that will never change. However, the sixth-generation icon has been completely redesigned with a focus on performance. Experience lower, slimmer proportions, a dramatic fastback profile, agile road handling, and a refined interior that prioritizes the driver. Hear the growl of three available powerplants. This all-new model is undeniably all Camaro, earning it Motor Trend's 2016 Car of the Year award.

Redesigned from the Inside Out
The interior is crafted for the driver, featuring a flat-bottom steering wheel, an exceptionally ergonomic gear shifter, and aggressively bolstered seats designed for driving dynamics. A color Head-Up Display, standard on 2SS, projects critical data into the driver's line of sight. Available wireless charging keeps devices powered. Available interior spectrum lighting offers 24 selectable colors, creating an immersive atmosphere, with an optional pulsing light show mode.
Available 8-inch reconfigurable gauges allow personalization of displayed information. The manual shifter is enhanced with dimpled leather and a unique cap for SS models, providing an ideal grip. Premium materials, including available heated and ventilated leather-trimmed seating surfaces, surround occupants. Rotating dials replace extra dash buttons for quicker, intuitive climate control.
The Pursuit of Physical Perfection
The lean, low, athletic build was shaped by extensive wind tunnel testing, leading to refinements in the grille, hood, and roof for maximum aerodynamics. The SS model features high-intensity discharge headlamps with LED signature and LED taillamps. The available RS Package on LT models adds these lighting enhancements, along with 20-inch aluminum wheels, a decklid-mounted spoiler, and chrome-accented grilles.
Images show a Camaro LT Coupe in Nightfall Gray Metallic with the RS Package and a Camaro SS Coupe in Garnet Red Tintcoat.
Sky-High Tech: The Convertible Experience
The convertible silhouette respects the iconic fastback image of the coupe. The fully electronic convertible top lowers with the touch of the key fob or a single button, even while driving up to 30 mph. The retracted top disappears under an automatic hard tonneau cover, maintaining the car's sculpted line.
A Camaro SS Convertible in Silver Ice Metallic is shown with available features and 20" 5-split-spoke polished forged-aluminum wheels.
SS: Owns the Road. And the Racetrack.
The SS model features a 6-speed manual transmission with Active Rev Matching for smooth, precise downshifts. 4-piston Brembo® brakes provide controlled stopping power. Available Magnetic Ride Control™ stiffens the suspension for high-performance driving without sacrificing ride comfort. Coupe models include standard auxiliary cooling for the engine, transmission, and differential oil. The available dual-mode exhaust system allows refinement of the 6.2L LT1 V8 engine's roar through four drive modes.

Advanced Architecture
An all-new architecture lightened the load by at least 200 lbs compared to the fifth generation. The suspension is 21% leaner, utilizing aluminum components to reduce unsprung mass and enhance handling. The chassis is 28% stiffer, providing an incredible connection to the road.
Can You Handle It?
This lighter, stiffer architecture forms the foundation for incredible handling. Electric Power Steering enhances road feel and response. Up to four selectable drive modes offer distinct driving experiences. Smaller, tighter proportions and quick steering ratios contribute to nimble, controlled handling.
Images depict the available dual-mode exhaust, Brembo® brakes (standard on SS), and Magnetic Ride Control (available only on SS).
