Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 2012 Review

2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 to debut at Chicago Auto Show 2011. It is most effective Camaro and the most technically advanced car ever developed in its category. The new ZL1 continues the momentum of the Camaro, the driving in a whole new world of cutting-edge performance technology. The plan is to launch in early 2012.

Motivates the supercharged V8 engine develops approximately 550 horsepower (410 kW), the Camaro ZL1 Camaro is the fastest ever offered by Chevrolet. And more than just power, ZL1 features technologically advanced and sophisticated chassis and suspension, which will enable it to deliver balanced, ready-track handling and braking performance to complement its high performance engine. Strait ZL1 development is underway, and official estimates of the vehicle features will be published later in 2011, as the test nears the end.

"ZL1 Camaro is on the high level of technology and design, and is a type of car that no one has ever brought to this segment before," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of marketing for Chevrolet. "This is the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we chose a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history."

Name is ZL1 all-aluminum, racing engine has the same name, which was developed in late 1960 and installed a handful of regular production 1969 Camaro. Only 69 were built in the engine, but reached the status of legend among fans, because they represented the pinnacle of performance Camaro - until now. 2012 ZL1 model is designed for a great leap forward in the Camaro, which brings a new level of performance of the segments.

The central objective of development of the car was the creation of something new - a Camaro to achieve optimum lap time at the race track high road and excellent driving dynamics on the street. To accomplish this, engineers have developed many existing systems Camaro, and new integrated technologies such as electric power steering and Magnetic Ride Control, the global system of the suspension to react more quickly.

Camaro ZL1 design communicates and supports its performance mission. Instead of using decorative elements, ZL1 visually distinct from other models of the Camaro with being vital for high capacities of the car.

"All About ZL1 design is directly related to its technology and performance serious, including aerodynamics," said Ed Welburn, vice president, Global Design. "The goal of our designers was to achieve this task-oriented design to beautifully sculpted shapes, creates an impressive powerful figure. function becomes the aesthetic. The goal is a car that meets the attitude of the projects. "

The main elements of the design of the ZL1 is a new front fascia and hood with air extractors designed together to create downforce for handling. The hood of the car includes a central section of the firm built in carbon fiber and black satin made. New frames, wide tires, 20-inch wheels and exhaust pipes represent the car's performance and power.

Overview Tech.

Support for the road and track dynamic performance ZL1 supercharged 6.2L LSA engine is producing about 550 horsepower (410kW) and 550 Nm of torque (677 Nm), with a special performance Camaro. Built on GM's legendary all-aluminum small-block V-8 architecture, the LSA functions of the compressor with intercooler, premium heat-resistant aluminum alloy cylinder head and other details have been designed to provide the excellent services provided smoothly and elegantly. Components and design elements that contribute to the performance of the LSA, including:

• Balanced, lightweight reciprocating assembly

• High strength hypereutectic pistons

• The sixth-generation Eaton compressor rotors with four lobes

• Piston Squirters oil.

Because the Camaro ZL1 uses electric power steering, the engine is not conventional hydraulic steering system pump accessory disk. This improves performance because the engine power is used to turn a steering pump pulley.

ZL1 Camaro is a complete high-performance sports car, a Camaro not only with more power. Technical highlights include:

Transmission - Manual High Performance Tremec TR-6060 six-speed gearbox was fitted to the engine LSA. It is a version of "MG9" of the transfer, a higher torque capacity. It is used for dual-mass flywheel and twin-disc clutch is easy to use, and modification date. The new, shorter-throw shifter to activate the gear shift.

Exhaust - ZL1 is equipped with a dual-mode exhaust that changes the sound level and character in response to engine speed. First used in the legendary Corvette, is specially optimized for the ZL1 Camaro, dual-mode exhaust give the car a signature sound.

Training - check with a strong system of axle and rear axle housing with a cast iron differential bigger and stronger, stronger and heavier axle limited slip differential. This patented system is designed to ensure that the power of huge ZL1 comes gently to the ground.

Suspension - The suspension features fully revised set and the inclusion of segment-exclusive Magnetic Ride Control. System ZL1 Magnetic Ride will include driver-selectable modes (Tour and Sport) adapted to driving style preferred. It uses the magneto-rheological science to produce shock absorption with the highest degree of precision that allows the body control potential optimized for excellent performance in everyday driving and track conditions. This technology appears in a small list of some of the most beautiful cars in the world of performance. Other chassis components have been redesigned to support high performance of the car limits. Rear stabilizer link bar drop has repositioned the outboard motor control groups. This makes the bar more effective at controlling body roll in turns, with a clear answer to the pilot's controls.

Brakes and steering - Camaro ZL1 advanced track compatible with the braking system, developed in collaboration with experts from Brembo. The large 14.6 inches (370 mm) two-piece front discs have six pistons at 14.4 inches (365 mm) rear rotors with four piston calipers. ZL1 marks the entry of a new direction for the electric Camaro. It has been developed to ensure precise control and feedback for the driver, with greater variability of effort, high-performance driving.

Exterior - the signature of the front fascia and hood redesigned aluminum ZL1 with a high carbon fiber insert. The front panel includes a front splitter and new vertical fog. The area includes fog lamps designed air intakes for brake cooling. The hood has exhaust fans mounted on the front that direct air precisely in the car. Visually, this section of the center, satin black carbon fiber, communicates high performance car designed as a visual contrast with the exterior color of the car. Functionally, the exhaust fan is a key element in the connection of air near the body, creating downforce. The central section of carbon fiber reduces the weight of the bell. High Intensity Discharge (HID) fog lights as standard. The rear of the car includes a diffuser and a wing, as well as the functional elements that improve the aerodynamics of the car.

Wheels and tires - new design 20-inch wheels made of forged aluminum, which are lighter than the 20-inch wheels are used Camaro SS, using new Goodyear Supercar attacks F2 developed specifically for ZL1.

Interior - ZL1 is suitable for high performance driving. The front seats have suede microfibre inserts. Other improvements include a redesigned steering wheel, aluminum pedals, Head-Up Display with display performance and unique "four-pack" system with an additional measure to boost output.

The details of production.

All exterior colors will be available with the ZL1 Camaro, but the black is the only interior color. The unique exterior is complimented with a black center section on the bonnet. Inside, the Camaro ZL1 has heated leather seats with microfibre inserts and embroidered logos on the front headrests ZL1. Microfiber cloth is repeated as an accent on the panel, adding a look inside richer. The ZL1 include the same content as the current package and include the following 2SS new or unique features:

• Are you share the driver and passenger

• Unique instrument panel and door panel inserts and door sill ZL1-logo

• Steering wheel with Bluetooth

• Wireless and USB PDIM

• Boston Acoustics premium audio system

• Rear Parking

• rearview camera SYSTEMS (visible inside rearview mirror).

Engineers have already driven the prototype Camaro ZL1 largely on the road demanding the United States and Germany, where the final test is completed by the rest of the year 2011.
