The current generation Chevrolet Camaro, with its sleek headlamps, toned body, aerodynamic profile and automatic gearbox marks a decidedly significant departure from conventional muscle car characteristics. However, the Chevy sports car remains iconic in its most significant bits: the high capacity V8 under the bonnet, quad exhaust tips and a bulging hood.
Although the latest iteration of the iconic Camaro sports car has shed a bit of its muscle car image, it still houses a large V8 motor under the hood and distinctly muscle car characteristics such as the quad exhaust tips and bulging bonnet
The interior of the Camaro is a sporty mix of red and black leather and aluminium accents. The center console features the central air vents, controls for the climate control system and a large 8 inch touchscreen infotainment system. Despite the beautifully crafted interiors, the sporty Chevy features a few glaring ergonomic flaws such as the misplaced central air vents, awkwardly angled display and small door pockets. The multi function steering wheel comes with controls to navigate through the infotainment system, receive/end calls, cruise control etc.

The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro sits atop the Alpha platform, the very same architecture that underpins Cadillac’s ATS and CTS models. Chevy’s choice of architecture allowed the Camaro to shed a few kgs further enhancing the oomph produced by the massive 6.2 l small block V8 under the hood. With all of the 455 horses coming in at 6000 RPM and a peak torque of 616 Nm hitting at 4400 RPM, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro encourages driving at less than frugal levels. Chevy’s biggest competitors in this segment are the upcoming Ford Mustang and the Dodge Challenger.
2016 Chevrolet Camaro at Delhi Auto Expo may be a strategic move to overtake Ford in the still nascent muscle car segment of the Indian auto industry.
