The vehicle is said to be powered by a V8 6.2-liter engine capable of exuding 339 kW of maximum power and 455 pound-feet of maximum torque, which shall complement its standard six-speed manual gearbox and optional eight-speed paddle-shift automatic.
The Camaro SS is a more powerful variant of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and it could be that the camouflaged vehicle spotted also in Detroit and identified as the Camaro ZL1 is the same as the one reportedly seen in the parking lot in Detroit. After all, it would be ironic and absurd for GM to test run two high-performance Camaro models at about the same time.
The Camaro SS will be using an LT1 6.2-liter V8 engine which was previously available only on the Camaro ZL1 but will now come to the Camaro SS too.
Meanwhile, GM has also unveiled in the US the convertible edition of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro, the only car in its class to offer an advanced functioning, fully automatic, locking, and electro-hydraulic soft-top.
The good thing about the 2016 Camaro’s convertible roofing is that the driver can actually remotely close the roof even when driving at speeds of up to 48 kilometers per hour using the car’s electronic key fob.
