An HSV Chevrolet Camaro gives its driver the sense of occasion they’ve been hunting for. For the most part, many of the vehicles we see on the road are cars for safely getting to the places we want to go, and so aren’t renown for getting the heart rate up. One of those cars that offers more than a conventional motor vehicle can offer is the latest HSV sports car. Offering a superbly engaging drive with loads of muscle and style, the new HSV Chevrolet Camaro goes like a scared cat and looks as hot as a beach-babe.
Slink down into the driver’s seat, and the engagement of your senses switches into overdrive. Looking out over the lengthy scooped bonnet makes you mindful that there are some serious horses available on tap for delivering a big kick in the pants for serious acceleration and speed. Glancing over the dash of the Camaro, the sporty styling is distinctive and sophisticated. There is a nice set of round air vents for keeping the flow of fresh, filtered air flowing into the cabin. An analogue speedometer takes itself beyond 300 km/h, and there neatly stitched leather for the dash looks gorgeous. The flat bottom steering wheel has multiple functions with its switches at the driver’s fingertips. Switchgear on the dash is modern yet simple and user friendly. All the functions for dual-zone automatic climate control, heated/cooled seats, and fan speeds are all within easy reach for either the driver or front seat passenger to adjust.
A touch screen sits neatly in the centre of the dash, offering very intuitive functions like satellite navigation, maps, phone, music, iHeart Radio and even hands-free communications. The HSV Chevrolet Camaro comes with Heads-Up Display and various modes of information displays for the driver’s interest. A sweet 9-speaker premium Bose audio system pumps out your favourite music tracks to help lighten on the long journeys home from work. A Drive Mode Selector and Enhanced Driver Information Centre come as standard, offering that distinctive edge of sophistication and innovation.
As far as exterior design goes, the new HSV Chevrolet Camaro is a real head turner. It’s definitely got the X-Factor for drawing attention. I rate this as one of the best looking muscle cars on the market. It has that rare and raw sex appeal that just looks so good on four wheels. The 2+2 Coupe design boasts very comfortable and exciting transport for two people, with every edge and surface scrutinized to deliver a road presence that’s hard to ignore. High Intensity Discharge headlamps and LED Daytime Running Lamps deliver a signature appearance for the on-looker while stylish 20-inch, 5-split-spoke machined-face alloys provide the perfect spunky looks. A rear stanchion spoiler, widened flared rear fenders and dual-outlet exhaust with bright tips add aggression at the tail of the new RWD HSV Chevrolet Camaro V8.
So, are you ready for the encounter? Confronting the competition is always exciting and come track day, the latest HSV Camaro coupe is ready to perform. It even has a special lap time mode for the driver as a feature. Under that gorgeous muscly appearance lies a wicked V8 that is ready for skirmishing. Chevrolet’s 6.2-litre Generation V LT1 Direct Injection V8 engine is mated to an 8-speed, paddle-shift automatic transmission that packs the knockout punch, generating around 340 kW of peak power and a massive 615 Nm of torque. There will be a manual shifting option becoming available as well.
Equipped with a purely performance rated suspension that provides a dynamic connection to the road and huge stopping power delivered by 4-piston Brembo performance brakes with fixed callipers means that the stop-and-go power is instant. Victory will be sweet, as the new Chevrolet Camaro can sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in 4.0 seconds. This is seriously quick, making it a formidable RWD V8 performance car.
