General Motors introduced the Camaro Convertible Concept at North American International Auto Show. As an everybody’s sports car, 2010 Camaro convertible sports car is represented a real life-sized sporty car that was attainable for just about everyone. Chevrolet is keeping enthusiasts’ the new Camaro convertible concept that continue delivered affordable car for the new generation. With the coupe’s production debut coinciding with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the 2010 Chevy Camaro has surprised many by outselling its main rival.
Inevitably, there are the usual show car-only details: overly svelte mirrors, LED turn signals that are too small to comply with federal standards, and so on. Rolling low on massive wheels and tires may lend the concept added presence and directional thrust (twenty-one-inch fronts, twenty-two-inch rears), but expect lower-end V-6 production models to make do with seventeen- to eighteen-inch running gear and have a bit more air in the wheel wells, with larger packages standard on V-8 models. The concept’s contrasting-finish deep-dish steamrollers look fantastic, and their crimson-outlined lips are a wonderful nod to the red-line tires of yore that we hope see production.
Inside, the Camaro convertible features a simple yet purposeful interior that reflects design elements inspired by the muscle car era, including the first-generation Camaro. A new, light-and-dark color scheme enhances the airy feel of the convertible, particularly when the top is lowered. The seats’ fronts feature platinum-tone leather surrounding suede-like Alcantara® inserts, with black, sculpted seatbacks. The use of light color only on the seating surface is reminiscent of vintage houndstooth interiors, while a matching, tri-coat platinum paint is used to accent the door panels and instrument panel, giving a modern, bold feel to the interior.
Like its coupe concept predecessor, the Camaro convertible is a runner with a V-8 engine backed by a six-speed manual that puts the power down through God’s Own Rear Wheels. 2009 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Concept will likely share the same engine options as the hardtop that focuses on power and fuel economy. In base LS form, the Camaro uses a 3.6-liter direct-injected V-6 to produce 304 horsepower while returning 29 miles per gallon on the highway. The performance-tuned Camaro SS uses a 6.2-liter V-8 to pump out up to 426 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque.
