Chevrolet Camaro Track Concept Comes With Enhanced Track Capability, Has 446HP

http://www.carscoops.com/2017/03/che...ept-comes.html

Quote:
Designed for drivers who need a high-performance car for the track and a fast sports coupe for everyday road use, the all-new Chevrolet Camaro Track Concept is here to impress in Geneva.

It's enhanced using official Chevy performance parts solely offered in the US, with an adequate selection becoming available in Europe in the near future.

Powering it is a 6.2-liter V8 engine, which produces 453 PS (446 HP) and 617 Nm (455 lb-ft) of torque, and works in conjunction with an 8-speed automatic transmission, with paddle shifters. The automaker is keeping performance numbers a secret for now.

Some of the cool features that can be found on the new muscle car include the Magnetic Ride Suspension, which lowers the ride height by 30 mm (1.2 in), an electronic limited-slip differential that is said to be segment-exclusive, dual-mode performance exhaust, and Brembo performance brakes.

Recognizing the new Chevrolet Track Concept is easy, as it's finished in a striking satin green, with unique gloss black hood and roof stripes. It also has an upgraded front splitter, side skirts, diffuser, and 3-piece rear spoiler, in addition to the black Chevrolet bowtie emblems, smoked taillights and 20-inch gloss black aluminum wheels, shod in 285/30 front and 305/30 rear tires.

Chevy's engineers have also fiddled with the interior, adding Recaro bucket seats, a suede flat-bottomed steering wheel, suede knee pads and center console arm rest, aluminum pedals, and special floor mats.

Ummm, sounds like an SS to me. Is the SS not offered in Europe?

Honestly I don't see why the world would need a Z28 in addition to the ZL1 1LE. This is way more than a typical track pack and literally checks every box that made the Gen 5 Z28 unique.


I would really love to see a Z28 version of the C7. NA big block making between 550 and 600 HP, trick suspension, tons of cooling, full on aero package and say about 3100 pounds.

Chevy's New ZL1-Based Camaro GT4.R Ready To Face The World's Best

http://www.carscoops.com/2017/03/che...t4r-ready.html

Quote:
Chevrolet has unveiled the potent new Camaro GT4.R which will compete in this year’s Pirelli World Challenge and Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge alongside the likes of Ford, Mercedes-AMG, BMW, Porsche and McLaren.

The race-ready Camaro GT4.R is powered by an upgraded version of the naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter LT1 V8 of the Camaro SS. Grunt is then fed through a sequential six-speed paddle-shift transmission and limited-slip differential driving the rear wheels and sourced from Xtrac.

As teasers of the vehicle hinted, the GT4.R gets some rather in-your-face bodywork. It includes a huge front grille and fascia very similar to the all-new Camaro ZL1 1LE as well as prominent canards on each side of the front bumper. Other distinctive touches include plastic windows, new side skirts, race-spec wheels and tires and most obvious of all, a soaring rear wing.

The car will enjoy its racing debut this weekend at the Grand Prix of St. Petersburg where Blackdog Speed Shop will field two examples.
