HSV has confirmed pricing for its new Chevrolet Camaro 2SS.
It will set customers back $85,990.
The driving force behind the Camaro 2SS is Chevrolet’s 6.2L Generation V LT1 Direct Injection V8 engine mated to a smooth shifting, 8-speed, paddle-shift automatic transmission.
That equates to up to 339kW of power and a lofty 617Nm of torque.
High Intensity Discharge headlamps deliver signature front-end appeal while stylish 20”, 5-split-spoke alloys (8.5” front & 9.5” rear) are wrapped in 245/40ZR20 (front) and 275/35ZR20 (back) Goodyear Eagle tyres.
The premium interior starts with power-adjustable heated and ventilated leather-trimmed front sports bucket seats for optimum comfort and support, complemented by a heated, leather-wrapped, flat-bottom sports-profile steering wheel for ultimate grip.
HSV managing director, Tim Jackson, says the Chevrolet Camaro launch has been a long-time coming.
“This project has been over three years in the making and involved millions of dollars of investment in product development, testing and validation. We set out with the goal of retaining the integrity of the left-hand-drive vehicle through the adoption of extensive engineering, development, and manufacturing processes. We are proud to say we believe we have achieved our goal.
“I can’t think of another organisation, that is not one of the large OE manufacturers, that has challenged itself to conduct full volume compliance on a passenger vehicle. The interest and push we have had from customers and the GM faithful to bring this vehicle to market has been nothing short of exceptional”.
The first model year will be limited to just 550 units in total, including 38 for New Zealand.
“Our business model has always been to provide a niche offering with strong connection and support to our customers and, with just 550 available in our first model year, we are excited to get the product in customers’ hands”.
The manufacture of the Chevrolet Camaro will commence at HSV’s new production facility in Clayton South, Victoria, this month.
