THE EXHILARATION IS CONTAGIOUS.

It started with Chevrolet’s designers and engineers who savoured the challenge to create a new definition of the sports car for the 21st century. After seeing the results of what GM’s Vice-President of Global Design, Ed Welburn, describes as “an incredible experience,” the next milestone was clear. He says: “We wanted that same exhilaration to translate to the driver…” The enthusiasm spread almost as quickly as the blistering 4.7 second 0-60 mph (96 km/h)time for the Camaro SS in GM testing. A Consumers Digest Best Buy for 2010 followed, on top of wildly enthusiastic reviews from the typically hard-to-impress automotive media, with quotes like this from Motor Trend: “Buckle up,because the new Camaro runs like a cheetah escaping thezoo.” But for you to fully grasp Camaro’s unique blend of performance, refinement and efficiency, you have to drive it.The winner of the Motorweek 2010 Driver’s Choice Award for Best Sport Coupe – it’s built right here in Canada.Chevrolet Camaro. Catch it if you can.

caranddriver.com* summed up what it’s like to drive around in a Camaro: “People turn and stare and elbow their friends without taking their eyes off you …” It had the same affect on the judges who named Camaro the 2010 World Car Design of the Year. All that attention is purely intentional.Chevrolet’s designers set out to create a sports car that makes its presence felt.In fact, when Camaro’s Exterior Design Director, Tom Peters, saw the final product, he commented: “It’s got the magic. It’s gotthe look … it’s got the soul.” What is it thatdefines the iconic look of the new Camaro?It’s the aggressive stance and the longhood, combined with a short rear deck and assertive rear shoulders. As hot as it looks, wait till you feel how it drives.

A MORE EVOLVED SPORTS CAR.

Camaro uses the very latest advanced technologies to produce the vast quantities of power you may associate with the golden age of sports cars. In fact, for 2011, Camaro has upped the ante, now generating 312 horsepower from its standard 3.6L V6 engine– that’s more than the 2011 Ford Mustang V6 models.* But in Camaro, technology is also used to deliver remarkable fuel efficiency – Direct Injection and Variable ValveTiming (VVT) contribute to a highway fuel consumption rating of just 6.9 L/100 km,*making it the envy of many mid-size sedans.So just how good is this sports car? This is what motortrend.com wrote in its review: “In an era when ‘mega-ultra-hyped blockbuster’ often means ‘I wasted my money on that?’ the new Chevy Camaro pushes back against unfulfilled expectations. It delivers. The look is there.The performance is there. The value is there.And, oh yes, so is the ‘wow.’” And who can resist more ‘wow’ in their life on the road?
