Chevrolet Camaro: New for 2014
 Aero-optimized design with hood vent, new grille and horizontal tail lamps
 New Chevrolet MyLink connected radio
2014 Chevrolet Camaro Offers New Look and Connectivity
Featuring a fast, low-slung silhouette and Chevrolet's new MyLink connected radio, the new
2014 Camaro represents the most significant redesign since the introduction of the fifthgeneration Camaro as a concept car in 2006.
"Camaro is the segment leader in the Middle East sport car segment. It has always been
associated with iconic design, high performance and driving fun, and we are proud of the new
coupe and convertible models," said Ahmed Soudodi, Chevrolet Regional Brand Manager, GM
Middle East Operations. "They incorporate new high-tech features that add extra convenience
and give customers even more value for their money," Soudodi added.
Enhanced aerodynamics
The new Camaro boasts improved high-performance aerodynamics that provide more efficient
cooling and stability at high speeds. The front fascia has a wider lower grille and a narrower
upper grille, while the functional hood vent helps reduce heat and aerodynamic lift. At the rear, a
sculptural deck lid, horizontal lamps and a diffuser complete the new design. Both the coupe
and the convertible sport a spoiler with integral antenna.
The engine line-up will comprise a 3.6L V6, a 6.2L V8 and a supercharged 6.2L V8. All engines
are mated to a standard six-speed manual transmission or an available six-speed automatic
transmission. Standard on LT models, a 3.6L V6 produces 323 hp at 6,800 rpm and 278 Nm of
torque. The proven 6.2L V8, rated at 432 hp at 5,900 rpm and torque of 569 Nm at 4,600 rpm, is
standard on SS models. It can accelerates from 0 to 100 Km/h in 5.2 seconds for the manual
coupe and 5.4 seconds for the manual convertible. A supercharged 6.2L is standard on ZL1
models, and available on SS models. It is rated at 580 hp and 754 Nm of torque. With either
transmission, the supercharged 6.2L delivers impressive performance of 0-100 acceleration
taking less than four seconds, and a top speed in excess of 290km/h.
Interior offers modern convenience and connectivity
Entering the new Camaro is straightforward and comfortable, thanks to standard remote keyless
entry; on the automatic variant, customers can opt for a remote engine start functionality.
Leather-appointed power adjustable Recaro sport bucket seats can be selected in the front for
the coupe variant.
Further interior highlights include a new color heads-up display and the new Chevrolet MyLink
connected radio that is located in the center stack. The radio is built around a seven-inch high
resolution full-color touch screen and has a clean, icon-based display menu.
The new Chevrolet MyLink color connected radio allows users to open phone books, personal
playlists, and photo galleries from compatible smartphones. Connectivity will be provided
2014 Chevrolet Camaro Offers New Look and Connectivity
through USB, Bluetooth and aux-in. In addition, customers can opt to purchase an integrated
navigation system.
Competitive price tag for a true muscle car
The manufacturer’s suggested retail prices for the new Camaro starts at AED 123,000 for the
LT models. The prices for SS and ZL1 models start at AED 169,000 and AED 230,000,
respectively.
There is, however, much more to the Camaro than great value and affordability. Its rugged
strength, iconic design and unique muscle car attributes have stolen the hearts and
imaginations of countless people and have provided subject matter for wall posters, T-shirts,
and songs for decades.
The original Camaro was built around a unibody structure and a 3.9L straight six engine. Since
then, five progressively more capable generations of the Camaro have thrilled car fans around
the globe. Performance has always been an essential ingredient of Camaro's DNA and
consequently, it has seen action in many forms of auto racing, including the spectacular drag
races, where specially prepared vehicles, usually two at a time, compete along a straight course
to make it first across a set finish line.
As much a part of Americana as apple pie and baseball, Camaros have featured in several
Hollywood movies, such as runaway bride (1999), a walk to remember (2003), and, of course,
Transformers (2007, 2009, 2011), in which the Chevrolet Camaro sports car had a starring role
as Bumblebee.
