Leaving the other debuts of the Chicago Auto Show in the dust is the brand-spanking new Camaro ZL1 - the most powerful Camaro ever. This beautiful beast is powered by a LSA 6.2L supercharged V-8 engine that produces an estimated 550 HP and 550 lb.-ft. of torque which is just enough to get our hearts racing and our fingers twitching to grab the wheel.
"Camaro ZL1 is about high-tech performance and design, and is a type of car no one has ever brought to this segment previously," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. "It?s the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we?ve chosen a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history."
The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will be distinguished by a new front fascia, hood with air extractors, and a signature center section constructed of carbon fiber rendered in satin black finish. Completing the look is a set of 20-inch wheels and exhaust tips with ZL1 badge on the grille, hood, and brake calipers.
UPDATE 06/13/2011: It’s been a few months after the Camaro ZL1’s official debut and Camaro5 is now offering new details on the most powerful Camaro ever. Apparently, the ZL1 will not only be offered with an automatic transmission, but also with the Performance Traction Management from the ZR1. In addition to this tidbit, it seems that the estimated "550 HP" is also not correct, as Al Oppenheiser has confirmed that the output will be higher than the 550 of the CTS-V. Production will begin in the first quarter of 2012.
