For the new Chevrolet Camaro 2012-2013 model year, engines are offered in two petrol versions.
Specifications
Chevrolet Camaro in the 2LT configuration is equipped with an LFX - V6 3.6 engine (328 hp) with 6 automatic transmissions (Hydra-Matic 6L50). Such technical characteristics of the sports car, according to the manufacturer, promise acceleration to the first “hundred” in 6.2 seconds. at a maximum speed of 250 km/h.
Fuel consumption according to the same manufacturer from 8.1 liters on the highway to 15.9 liters in the city, in the combined cycle 10.9 liters. In real conditions of urban operation, the figure approaches 20 liters, and the average consumption of a sports coupe rarely drops below 12.5-13 liters of fuel.
Chevrolet Camaro V8 engine In a more expensive 2SS configuration, the 2012-2013 Camaro engine is offered with L99, V8 6.2 liters. (405 hp) with 6 automatic transmissions (Hydra-Matic 6L50). The manufacturer's data speaks of the possibility of a spurt up to 100 km / h in 4.7 seconds, the maximum speed in the European way is electronically limited to 250 km / h. Fuel consumption of the Camaro in this configuration is from 10.2 liters on the highway to 20.9 liters in city use. The average consumption is 14.1 liters per 100 kilometers.
In real life, a test drive of a Camaro sports coupe shows that the G8 eats 17-17.5 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle - a harsh reality, because the volume of the V8 is not a child's 6162 cm3. The Active Fuel Management system used, which turns off half of the cylinders at low engine loads, does not save the situation with great appetite.
brembo brake on chevrolet camaro Technical characteristics of the muscle car of the 2012-2013 model year: for Russian fans, the sports car received an upgraded FE4 chassis with shock absorbers that have the ability to change damping characteristics and powerful front (23 mm) and rear (24 mm) anti-roll bars. The Chevrolet Camaro suspension is completely independent, with a MacPherson strut in front and a four-link rear. An electric power steering is used as a power steering. Disc brakes with ABC, stabilization system StabiliTrak (ESC).
Operation and test drive Chevrolet Camaro
Representatives of Chevrolet are cunning when they promise the hurricane dynamics of the Camaro 2LT V6 in 6.2 seconds to 100 km / h, there are real numbers of 6.5-6.8 seconds. (Which is also impressive.) In the situation with the 2SS V8, it is also impossible to achieve the declared 4.7 seconds, the electronics stubbornly shows 5.2-5.5 seconds when accelerating to “hundreds”. Both cars start powerfully and amazingly, crouching on the rear axle with 275 / 40ZR20 wheels, the driver is pressed into the seat, the heart speeds up. But, alas, the Hydra-Matic 6L50 machine with its own settings does not allow the full potential of the motors to be revealed.
It is a pity that new Camaros with a manual transmission are not provided for Russia. On the go, the American muscle car pleases with its refined and informative steering, the suspension is harsh for domestic roads, but for filigree cornering with minimal roll and the ability to screw into a “hairpin” at high speed, this is a low price.
In a direct test drive, the Chevrolet Camaro demonstrates simply amazing driving, the car is stable at high speed, you can’t even believe that you are driving an “American”. Suspension assembled and intelligent, like German cars. You get great pleasure from the sound of the engine of the car, the “gurgling” of the V8 at idle quickly develops into thunder at full throttle. A detailed review and experience of the first operation of the legendary sports coupe allow us to assert that an excellent car has arrived in Russia, Camaro fans will forgive him a “Spartan” interior, voracious engines and a high price. It seems to be really worth the money even after the price increase from moving to Europe.
Price: from 2,990,000 rubles.
This car has become a legend and the dream of any fan, whether it be an aged person or a young man. Anyone who would like to experience a fast powerful and beautiful ride. This car is VIP class. And not just like that, the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro has a rich and interesting history that began in 1967.
History overview
It was on August 11, 1967 that the first car came off the assembly line and was presented to the whole world. This model was designed and released on the streets of the city as the main competitor. The whole world immediately drew attention to the novelty.
After eight years of rest, the car again began to work on the creation of a new Chevrolet Camaro. This time the company has released power to the limit of their car. At the same time, she added many additional options and functions, without which the style would not be completely sporty. The sedan model began to be successfully sold in the sports car market, because this car has proven itself well as a powerful, reliable, stylish and luxurious car.
The next generation starts in several models such as: LS, LT and SS. The LS and LT have FE-2 suspension designed specifically for sports cars. Currently, the suspension has good reviews from those who have tested it in America. The independent suspension features StabiliTrak, which stands for Standard Stability Control. RS Convertible "2010. In the LS and LT standard, a V6 engine, a six-speaker sound system, and a cd radio are available.
The 2019 Camaro LT-1 can be ordered with a 245-watt Boston Acoustics sound system and nine speakers. The RS package, fitted to LT models, has HID headlights with integrated ring function as standard, also has a spoiler and 20-inch wheels. The 2010 car is equipped with many safety features, such as: two-stage pads for the protection of the driver and front passenger, side airbags, chest airbags. All pillows have the function of suppression systems of the field deployment function.
The company also took care of additional strength and installed additional racks. Coupe and Convertible EU-spec "2011 The factory where the fifth generation is made is carried out at a plant in Canada. Also, all two models can have a modification of the convertible body. The designers tried very hard to betray the strength and reliability of the convertible body. But according to GM, the body of the Chevrolet Camaro 2018 Convertible no worse than the series.
On both models of cars, the designers did their best and finalized some elements of the suspension and bodywork, and did not forget about the steering and brake system. Also, xenon headlights and an air intake on the hood are additionally installed on the convertible. Due to such improvements, the car looks more aggressive and sporty. The fifth generation in its class turned out to be one of the best cars of all time. All over the world, the model very quickly finds its fans.
Specifications Chevrolet Camaro 2019
Here, the whole world has already been talking about the fifth generation with a shudder and great interest, everyone is wondering what will happen there, where everything is going. The 2009 SS, LS, and LT come standard with a V-twin, 3.6 6-cylinder, 312 horsepower engine with and. Production where the fifth generation is made is carried out at a plant in Canada. GM in 2011 released the SS models and the updated Convertible series. The SS received a V8 engine LS-3, 6.2 displacement, 426 horsepower, 6 speed gearbox.
2012-2013 Camaro in LT-2 trim, which will be powered by the LFX V-6 engine, 3.6 displacement, 328 horsepower. There will also be a more expensive SS-2 engine L-99 V8 engine, 6.2 displacement, 405 horsepower on the market. The 2014 model, which was featured in many films, under the hood of this coupe is a V8 cylinder, 6.2 volume, 432 horsepower. The 2015 car slowed down a little, but not quite under the hood, it has a V 6-cylinder engine, 3.6 displacement, 328 horsepower. And the second is more expensive V8, 6.2 volume, 405 horsepower.
Interior Chevrolet Camaro 2019
The car has always shown attention to detail, classic and style is one of the most important characteristics of the interior. Deeply recessed instruments with round dials give a subtle hint of classic style. A pleasant atmosphere in the cabin is created by luminous tubes located on the instrument panel.
Also pleasing to the eye are the high quality of the details, such as: control levers in chrome finish, premium finishes on elements such as seat seams in fabric or acrylic. All this reinforces the impression of high quality Chevrolet Camaro 2018. The attention to most details is most pronounced, the design of the dashboard, it is located at the top of the console, which is located in the center. This car interior panel carries a history that began in 1967, but features modern LED lighting.
A lot of people want this car. And this is not just because many already know that this car is powerful, fast, beautiful, someone can say bold, and no less expensive. Many people can say that I like her. What could be the problem, I'll go and buy it. And then the problems begin: such a car is not cheap, and it should be noted that the old model, the new one, all cost several million rubles. And fuel consumption at such engine volumes will be very good. Camaro insurance will also cost a pretty penny. In short, this car can be taken by those who have the money to maintain it. And one more plus model, she will never grow old.

Chevrolet Camaro, 2016
Long decided to buy a new car. At first I planned to buy a 2014 Camaro (restyling), but still did not want to give more than 2 million rubles for an uncomfortable plastic interior without climate control and with a Chevrolet Cruze steering wheel. Therefore, I waited for a new generation of Chevrolet Camaro. The new Camaro is, in fact, a completely different car. The interior and comfort have drastically improved, a lot of modern things have been added, such as magnetic ride control suspension, driving modes, a partially virtual instrument panel, 2-zone climate, seat memory, a camera with a turning radius and much more. The interior design itself looks a level higher and more interesting, there is no frank savings and cheapness, which the past generation sinned. Yes, many managed to say that a 2-liter engine for a thoroughbred "muscle car" is a shame, horror and not serious. However, it is the 21st century and technology is taking its toll. The new Chevrolet Camaro accelerates 0.3 seconds faster than its outgoing base model with 328 hp and is much more tax-efficient. On the road, the car behaves perfectly (according to the first impression, because the weather does not allow driving at full speed). The suspension is much softer than the previous body, the electronic systems help the driver as much as possible, nothing slips and does not skid, despite the rear-wheel drive. Of course, there are also disadvantages. First of all, wonderful American ergonomics, which are used to huge dimensions. And since Chevrolet Camaro "lost weight" a little, but this did not affect the ergonomics in the best way. A very tight back row (maximum for children or dwarfs), despite the fact that the dimensions of the car are larger than the average sedan (such as the Octavia) and even a couple of cm larger than the rather big Passat. Also, very meager door pockets and an armrest drawer - a maximum on a purse, a pack of cigarettes, cleaning wipes - everything, an egoist car in all its glory. Of the controversial points - appearance. I personally like it, although many criticize the narrow grille with optics, as well as the taillights, which have lost the recognizable split “glasses” of the 5th generation. But I personally like the new design. These are the views on the new Chevrolet Camaro from the first batch in Russia.
Advantages : salon. Comfort level. Equipment. Suspension. 2 liter engine.
Flaws : ergonomics. Salon for two.

Chevrolet Camaro, 2016
Spring finally showed up and I started driving a Chevrolet Camaro. Impressions on the second day of operation are as follows: I was very worried about visibility. Stopped thinking about it after half an hour after the start of the ride. I quickly got used to visibility and dimensions. I thought that in order to break in the car, I would have to drive slowly and carefully, not exceeding 4000 rpm. Nothing like this. In urban mode, Chevrolet Camaro rides very cheerfully and accelerates in the range from 2000 to 3500 rpm. I didn't have to restrain myself. Impressed with excellent handling. Music from Bose sounds very decent, despite the lack of a subwoofer. After the Volvo XC70, you need to remember all the time to avoid potholes and slow down in front of speed bumps. Still, for such a “hard stool”, smooth tracks (it doesn’t matter if they are straight or winding) are more suitable than the streets of Moscow after the winter. Well, at least the clearance is not the smallest.
Advantages : manageability. acceleration dynamics.
Flaws : rigid suspension.

The first presentation of the Chevrolet Camaro took place on September 26, 1966, in order to create competition for the super popular Ford Mustang that captured a large sector of the market. The Camaro was designed as a new car, but, nevertheless, components and components from Chevelle, Corvair and even the legendary Corvette took root in it.
The basis of the power structure of the car was a load-bearing body, to which a powerful subframe mounted on elastic elements was attached in front. An engine with a gearbox was placed on the body, as well as an independent spring suspension. The rear axle, which is the leading one, was supported by longitudinal leaf springs.
The range of engines that were equipped with the Chevrolet Camaro is represented by V-shaped “sixes” and “eights” with a volume of 3.6 to 7.0 liters. V6 had only two varieties: the first with a volume of 3.6 liters. and a power of 140 hp, the second 3.9 liters. 155 hp
But the V8 range, on the contrary, is impressive: a 5.1-liter, 210-horsepower modification, followed by a 5.1-liter engine, but equipped with a 4-chamber carburetor, its power was already 275 hp, followed by 5.5-liter - 295 hp, next on the list were 6.2-liter units with a capacity of 325 and 375 hp, they were equipped with the Camaro of the "Super Sport -396" series, and finally closed the series of "eights" 7 -liter, 425-horsepower monster, which was ordered only on the top version - "Camaro Z-28" in the modification "Super Sport" (1972) or "Rally Sport" - these modifications also included a more efficient brake system, audio system, power steering and even air conditioning. All of the above types of engines were equipped with a 3 or 4-speed manual gearbox, or a 2-speed "automatic".
I would like to characterize the differences between the two modifications of the Chevrolet Camaro - "Rally Sport" (RS) and "Super Sport" (SS): in the "RS" version, various decorative elements were placed on the car body, such as moldings, coloring in the form of two parallel stripes along the car , lanterns under the bumpers, the headlights were closed with special sliding "shutters". Modification "SS", on the contrary, had open headlights, a different trim, as well as additional light lights in the front.
In 1968, the production of Camaro begins with the designation "Z-28", which differs from its predecessors in the presence of spoilers on the body designed to improve the aerodynamic properties of the car, an upgraded dashboard with a tachometer, tinted windows and a proper body painting.
Chevrolet Camaro is good for everyone, sports body design, excellent dynamic performance and, of course, a powerful, aggressive engine. The popularity of the model grew until the early 70s, until the country first felt the impact of the energy crisis, which forced a change in the view of car production in the United States. In order not to turn into history, the Camaro began to adapt to the changed situation, and first of all, these changes affected the engine - its power fell.
1982 - the beginning of production of the third generation Camaro. A distinctive feature of this car are dual square headlights, a wide radiator grille, the presence of a large number of spoilers and fairings, and a more “slick” exterior design than before.
The next, fourth generation Camaro was released only in 1993. The new car finally "licked", became more elegant, for the first time there were elements of passive safety - ABS, for the driver and front passenger. The range of engines for 1993 was a V-shaped "six" with a capacity of 160 hp. and "eight" - 275 hp As a transmission, either a 4-band automatic or a 5-speed "mechanics" was used. After the 93rd, the model began to be equipped with a new 5.7-liter engine with a capacity of 345 hp. - "LT-1" and an automatic transmission with electronic control.
The last update, which ended the 35-year history of the Chevrolet Camaro, was carried out in 1998 and mainly affected the appearance of the car. The first generation Camaro already had a great design, but the latest model is certainly the most advanced of the entire lineup. Characteristic features were thin, slightly protruding headlights, a long “nose”, an air intake on the hood. In general, the car has become more dynamic and streamlined in appearance.
The interior of the Camaro corresponds to the idea of what a luxury sports car should be like inside: a laconic but informative instrument panel, deep leather seats with excellent lateral support, a comfortable leather-wrapped steering wheel. You can leave shopping or put a pet in the rear seats, but you can’t accommodate an adult passenger in any way. Comfort in the Camaro goes hand in hand with sportiness. The position and shape of the driver's seat has 6 adjustments, which are controlled electrically. The steering column is adjustable in height. The dimensions of the cabin do not cause a feeling of constraint.
The car has a 5.7-liter V-shaped aluminum 8-cylinder engine with a capacity of 325 horsepower produced by Corvette. The power unit is paired with a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
Especially for the European market, the Camaro was equipped with a 3.8 V6 engine that develops 200 hp. at 5200 rpm. and has a torque of 305 Nm at 4000 rpm. For those who like it "hotter", a version of the Z28 was offered with a 5.7 V8 engine with 305 hp. at 5200 rpm. with a torque of 454 Nm at 4000 rpm. This combination provides outstanding dynamic qualities throughout the entire speed range.
The legendary Camaro Z28 by the 1998 model year significantly increased the strength of the body and its resistance to twisting, disc brakes on all wheels, sensory ABS, a traction control system on the drive wheels and, of course, to ensure the most important thing - passenger safety, two airbags were installed as standard security of the latest generation.
The SS trim offered a 325 horsepower engine, an air pocket in the hood, a unique rear spoiler, an exhaust control system and a 6-speed manual transmission and 17-inch, black-painted aluminum wheels with polished spokes.
The Chevrolet Camaro is one of America's iconic cars. A luxurious 5-meter sports coupe with an aggressive exterior design and a comfortable 2 + 2 interior provides maximum driving pleasure. A true legend in the world of sports cars.
After 35 years of production, in the fall of 2002, General Motors ceased production of the legendary American sports car Chevrolet Camaro. During this period, this model sold 4,775,208 copies.
But already in 2005, Chevrole decided to resume production of the model. Camaro 2010 belongs to the fifth generation of the model. Body type - two-door coupe with four seats. The body and interior have been redesigned, but at the same time the engineers have tried to keep the features characteristic of older releases. The result is a car that brilliantly combines the spirit of past generations and modern technologies of the 21st century.
The salon will please the owner with an ultra-modern Boston speaker system and a system for connecting a mobile phone to the car via Bluetooth. Among other things, Camaro 2010 offers a system projection of instrument readings on the windshield and remote control of the engine start. The panel has a USB connector for connecting external devices. Complementing the picture are ultrasonic parking sensors that can facilitate parking.
The car is offered in three versions: LS, LT and SS. The LS and LT versions are equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine. with direct fuel injection and 304 hp. The “heart” of the SS modification was a 6.2-liter V8, and on the “mechanics” it will be an LS3 engine with a power of 427 hp, and on a car with automatic transmission - an L99 with a power of 400 hp. Despite the powerful engine and fantastic dynamics, the developers of the car have achieved relatively moderate fuel consumption. This was achieved with the help of the intelligent Active Fuel Management (TM) system, which, if necessary, turns off part of the cylinders.
At the heart of the car is a global rear-wheel drive platform. Chevrolet specialists have worked on the design of an independent rear suspension. The car, thanks to the huge wheels (18-inch), provides excellent grip, giving a sense of confidence and security. In addition, the Camaro 2010 is equipped with dynamic stability control as standard, disc brakes, anti-lock system and six airbags.
A little later, an open version appeared. With its exterior design, the Camaro convertible remains a true successor to the coupe. The hood is the same elongated, fairings, twin square headlights, a wide grille, a sloping roof. Behind two round exhaust pipes. The spacious interior will delight with sports leather seats, a sports steering wheel and an information screen.
The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro has confirmed that this model remains one of the best muscle cars of all time.
The fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro is one of the brightest representatives of such a class of cars as a pony car. The production of this model began in 2009 and lasted until 2015. Long before the premiere, the pony car from General Motors attracted the attention of tens of thousands of motorists. Which is not surprising, because the American company did not just develop a novelty. She decided to resume production of the legendary Chevrolet Camaro, which was completed in 2002.
Appearance
The appearance of the novelty of the late 2000s has become more vivid and interesting than the models of previous generations. The look of the sporty pony car harmoniously combines the features of the legendary predecessor of the 70s and modern design solutions. The car turned out to be muscular, predatory, dynamic and aggressive. Attention is drawn to a wide long hood, expressive head optics, chopped rear fenders, LED lights, large exhaust system muzzles and 20-inch wheels.
It is also worth noting that the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro is immodest in size. Its length reaches 4,836 mm, and its height is 1,377 mm. The width is 1918 mm. Thanks to the impressive difference between length and height, the appearance of the car seems even more aspiring and dynamic.
Interior
According to many people, the Chevrolet Camaro, whose cost cannot be called small, has a very ascetic interior. However, other car owners consider the absence of frills a huge plus. In addition, the interior design is not like any other. However, like the whole car.
But they all agree on the materials used in the decoration. The plastic is hard and looks too cheap. But on the other hand, comfortable seats, conducive to long trips, are dressed in expensive genuine leather.
The trunk of this model is very large when compared with the related Porsche 911 in size. And the rear seats can accommodate two people of average build. So this sports car can also be considered practical in its class.
What's under the hood?
There are several versions of the fifth generation Chevrolet Camaro, and they all differ in powertrains. In total there are 9 engines, the power of which varies from 312 to 580 horsepower.
It is worth noting that even versions with the weakest motor impress with their characteristics. The 3.6-liter 312-horsepower injection V6 engine allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in just 6.2 seconds. The speed limit is 250 km / h (there is a limiter). The "appetite" of this engine is rather modest. For 100 "urban" kilometers, 13.8 liters of gasoline are consumed. On the highway, consumption is reduced to 8.4 liters. This unit is offered with a 6-speed "mechanics" and "automatic".
The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro, powered by a 580-horsepower 6.2-liter V8 engine, is more dynamic. Acceleration to “hundreds” takes a little more than 5.5 seconds. But the maximum is also limited at around 250 km / h. This engine consumes about 15 liters of gasoline per 100 "urban" kilometers. About 9 liters are spent on the highway.
Equipment
It is also worth talking about what equipment the Chevrolet Camaro pony car is equipped with. The fifth generation came out with a very rich list of basic equipment. Standard equipment includes ABS, EBA, EBD, ESP, curtains, airbags and door beams, active head restraints, and the OnStars crash response system.
In addition to the above, the package included air conditioning, front power windows, seats with automatic adjustment and heating, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with an amplifier, cruise control, an on-board computer, a sunroof, a Bluetooth Hands-Free interface and a remote engine start. In addition, the list of basic equipment included electric heated mirrors, xenon optics, fog and halogen headlights, and factory tinted windows.
As you can see, everything you need was already in the basic configuration of the Chevrolet Camaro. The price increased if the person wanted to add additional options. For a surcharge, separate climate control, navigation, a CD changer and bi-xenon headlights were offered.
Behavior on the road
This topic cannot be ignored when talking about the Chevrolet Camaro. The fifth generation was long-awaited, and many people, after the presentation of the novelty, hurried to acquire it. Most owners are happy to share their impressions of handling and operation in general.
If you believe the reviews, then versions with automatic transmission behave best on the road. The automatic transmission is very responsive and playful, as it should be on a real sports car. The gearbox instantly responds to the desire of the driver to accelerate, which is good news. And in traffic jams, the “automatic” just helps out. The power steering in the Chevrolet is excellent, moderately hard.
Only people who bought versions with 18-inch disks remained dissatisfied. They do not fit this pony car either technically or aesthetically. But most owners immediately solved this problem by installing 20-inch wheels.
Exploitation
It is also worth mentioning a few words about it when talking about the Chevrolet Camaro. "Chevrolet Camaro" ... price, reviews, specifications - everything indicates that this sports car cannot be attributed to the class of budget and economical ones. The actual consumption of versions with 6.2-liter engines varies from 12 to 20 liters, depending on the nature and driving mode. In winter, the engine consumes slightly more fuel.
However, the sensations that this car gives are worth the cost. Chevrolet has a great suspension. No rolls, wiggles and shaking are observed. But this does not mean that you can test this car off-road, although the suspension will dutifully “swallow” bumps. By the way, their passage will not affect comfort in any way. The body has a high landing, which surprises many, given the sporty nature of the car.
Price
Finally, a few words should be said about how much you will have to pay to a person who wants to purchase a Chevrolet Camaro (fifth generation). The price is high, but quite acceptable. A 2010 model with a 432-horsepower engine under the hood will cost about 1,650,000 rubles. The mileage will not exceed 100,000 kilometers. And the condition will also be excellent - both technically and cosmetically.
But if you want to become the owner of a newer version, you will have to pay more. The 2014 model will cost approximately 2.7 million rubles. For this price, a person can get a car with a 323-horsepower unit under the hood and a range of up to 35,000 km. And besides with the maximum configuration. Which includes everything you need - starting with an immobilizer and power seats, ending with 20-inch alloy wheels and a multifunctional steering wheel.
So if you want to become the owner of a powerful sports car that attracts the eye, you can safely make a choice in favor of the Chevrolet Camaro V. You won’t have to regret your choice, and numerous positive reviews are the best confirmation of this.
