New Vehicle camaro ZL1

The Most Advanced Camaro Ever

Chevrolet introduced a new vehicle Camaro model, the ZL1, at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show. The ZL1 features a supercharged and inter cooled 6.2 L V-8 engine that produces 580 hp (430 kW) and 556 lb•ft (754 N•m) of torque.[43] A six-speed Tremec T6060 manual with a dual plate clutch, MagneRide active suspension (formerly used in the Corvette lineup), 20 inch Goodyear Supercar F2 tires with aluminum wheels, and 14.4/14.6 inch Brembo brakes are included.

The vehicle is expected to be available in early 2012 for the 2012 model year.The 2012 new vehicle Camaro ZL1 is the highest-performing production Camaro of all time. It is literally like nothing you've ever driven before. Built to be track-capable right from the showroom, and tested on some of the most rigorous tracks around the world, including the Nürburgring, where it clocked in at 7:41.27. This is the car every engineer dreams about building. Every racer dreams about tearing around the track. And every owner dreams about—a sports car that looks mean, but feels comfortable and docile enough for daily driving.

According Tony Roma, ZL1 Program Engineering Manager, the 2012 new vehicle camaro ZL1 brings the latest and greatest of everything, improved performance and looked the part, all proven on the most demanding tracks around the world.ZL1 is designed to be driven exactly like it should be—hard. The fuel system has added fuel pick-ups to maximize the amount of fuel available even under high g cornering on the most aggressive tracks. The standard Tremec® 6-speed manual transmission comes with a revised short-throw shifter for increased precision.The dual-mode exhaust enables peak performance at high engine speeds, and has been engineered to create an aggressive sound at idle without overwhelming when cruising at a steady speed—the drawback of some aftermarket performance exhausts.

6.2L SC V8 Engine

The 580-horsepower, 556 lb.-ft. of torque, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine can be mated to a Tremec® 6-speed manual (MG9) or HydraMatic® 6L90 automatic transmission. This aluminum-block engine is based on GM's legendary small block V8 architecture and features an intercooled supercharger system and premium heat-resistant aluminum alloy cylinder heads.Eaton® Supercharger

The uniquely designed sixth-generation intercooled 1.9-liter Eaton® supercharger gives ZL1 additional thrust and more force. The 4-lobed supercharger enables a broad range of power through the rpm band, giving the engine great low-end torque and excellent horsepower at the range where a supercharger generally loses its effectiveness.

Automatic TransmissionThe optional automatic is no afterthought—it's a fully integrated powertrain offering that is completely unique to the segment. The Hydra-Matic® 6L90 is built to handle the massive torque and power, steering wheel paddle shifting helps to make shifts quick and convenient. The upshift algorithm in TAPshift® mode reduces delay time, allowing for aggressive tap downshifts and upshifts.

The algorithm has been designed to recognize aggressive throttle movement to hold lower gears for aggressive driving.Manual TransmissionA true harmony of smooth and raw feel, ZL1 features the latest Tremec® 6-speed manual transmission with a revised short-throw shifter. The new shifter has a short-throw ratio and incorporates a revised shift knob, designed to be more performance oriented in the driver's hand. The system provides smooth transfer of the engine's exceptional power and torque, and the dual mass flywheel design ensures quiet, smooth operation. The smaller diameter and lower inertia of the twin disc clutch ramp up the 0-60 performance.

An Interior to Match

If you're looking for rear-seat DVD players, tons of storage space and eight cup holders, you shouldn't even be on this page. The interior of the ZL1 is designed exactly like the rest of the ZL1—to outperform every other sports car in its class. That being said, with its finely tuned suspension, sueded microfiber-accented instrument panel and available sueded microfiber wrap on the steering wheel and shifter, you'll feel like you're in a touring car.
Driver-Centric

For ZL1, revised pedals allow for optimized foot placement for track use. The front seats incorporate sueded microfiber suede inserts with red accent stitching and ZL1 logos embroidered on the front headrests. The sueded microfiber inserts help add friction to the seat.







High-Performance Steering Wheel

The flat-bottom steering wheel, designed for use in open race cars, gives your legs more room for heel/toe operation and makes getting in and out of the car easy. The wheel has a smaller diameter than the standard 2012 Camaro wheel, and the rim section has been thickened and tuned to give the driver a more connected feel, which can be improved even further with the available sueded microfiber wrap.ZL1 comes with all of the technology you expect from a top-of-the-line Camaro.
