The
2017 Camaro ZL1 is poised to challenge the most advanced sports coupes in the
world with unprecedented levels of technology, refinement, track capability and
straight-line acceleration. In the Middle East, we will be able to ride the
most powerful Camaro in history, and learn the real value of big power, big
noise, and total control in the first half of 2017.
The
ZL1 delivers significantly enhanced performance in a more aggressive body and a
lighter architecture. Needless to say, sports enthusiasts won’t be
disappointed, as the supercharged coupe delivers more power than any other
Camaro to date and features the most comprehensive aerodynamic package.
And
the fact that it is about 90 Kg lighter than its predecessor adds to the thrill
and sets a new benchmark in the supercharged muscle car market.
The
2017 Camaro ZL1 sports an excellent stylish design which gives the car a
purposeful, super aggressive attitude. The sports car sits on unique, staggered
20-inch forged aluminum wheels wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar tires.
“The
Camaro ZL1 is designed to excel at everything, delivering on design,
dependability, quality and performance,” said Abdallah Madhoun, Regional Sales
and Marketing Manager for Chevrolet, GM Middle East.
Functionality
defines the Camaro ZL1’s form, with the exterior shaped during more than 100
hours of wind-tunnel testing and on-track validation to improve aerodynamics
and cooling for track use. Accordingly, its exterior elements all play a part
in managing airflow over, under and through the ZL1.
The
lower grille opening, for example, offers greater airflow compared to the
Camaro SS, and the upper grille incorporates a new version of the “flow-tie”
open bowtie insignia. There’s also a new hood, with a carbon fiber insert and
heat extractor that pulls hot air from the engine compartment.
Inside,
there are standard Recaro front seats, along with a suede flat-bottom steering
wheel and shift knob. Chevrolet’s Performance Data Recorder is available.
The
ZL1, available as a coupe and a convertible, shares with the Corvette Z06 its
herculean power-plant, the supercharged LT4 6.2L V-8 engine. It is rated at 650
horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque (881 Nm), making this the fastest Camaro ZL1
in the vehicles 50 year history.
Its
0-100 Km/h time is a mere 3.6 seconds, and it can complete the quarter mile in
11.4 seconds at a speed of 204 Km/h.
The
Camaro ZL1 is the first production car to use a new, advanced 10-speed
automatic gearbox, which offers strong economy and performance benefits. It is
also available as a six-speed manual.
The
2017 Camaro ZL1 comes standard with customizable launch control, which allows
drivers to adjust launch rpm and wheel slip to dial in the perfect start.
Moreover,
a cohesive suite of performance technologies tailors ZL1’s performance for street
and track. Features include an updated Magnetic Ride suspension, Performance
Traction Management, electronic limited-slip differential and Driver Mode
Selector. It also has a stronger power-to-weight ratio than its predecessor,
weighing 200 pounds less, while offering approximately 60 more horsepower and
80 more pound-feet of torque.
The
result is a one-of-a-kind driving experience.
Finally
– and unlike some competitors – there’s no need to purchase an optional package
to make the ZL1 track ready. Track capability comes standard, with features
including an impressive 11 heat exchangers for optimal powertrain cooling.
Camaro ZL1 should scare the best of the best.
