580-hP suPeR CAMARO
ZL1
RESPECT THE HISTORY
Its bloodline traces back to the
legendary original-production 1969 Camaro ZL1. But
make no mistake. This ZL1 is the most technologically
advanced Camaro ever. And it is available in Coupe or
Convertible models.
THE FIRST SUPERCHARGED CAMARO Powered by an
all-aluminum 6.2L supercharged V8 engine, ZL1 packs
the one-two punch of 580 horsepower and 556 lb.-ft.
of torque. Its strong presence is echoed by a brazen
dual-mode exhaust. In extreme conditions, ZL1
maintains the utmost composure, thanks to its
performance-tuned suspension that uses Magnetic
Ride Control™ to adapt to varying road or track
surfaces. Performance Traction Management (PTM),
on ZL1 Coupe, is an advanced system that integrates
the Magnetic Ride Control, launch control with manual
transmission, Traction Control and Active Handling
systems to achieve racetrack-ready performance
and consistency.
PROVEN ON THE NÜRBURGRING
ZL1 engineers obsessed
over every detail of today’s ZL1 to make sure it lived
up to its name. They proved it on the most challenging
tracks in the world, including an epic trek through
Germany’s Nürburgring, where the ZL1 Coupe
clocked a 7:41.27 lap.
“You have to have an extremely well-mannered,
confidence-inspiring car to take any corner at
160 mph without lifting off the throttle ... and the
ZL1 was just brilliant,” says Aaron Link, Camaro ZL1
suspension engineer.
MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL SHOCKS
ZL1 was the first
production car in North America to feature the latest
generation of Magnetic Ride Control. You’re not going
to find that in many cars. ZL1 has three distinct
damper calibrations: Tour, Sport and Track. These
shocks employ magnetorheological fluid for damping
levels adjusted up to 1,000 times per second, making
the system exceptionally responsive and providing
increased wheel control on even the roughest road
or the most challenging track by reducing heave,
pitch and roll.
PERFORMANCE TRACTION MANAGEMENT (PTM)
PTM, found on the ZL1 Coupe, is an advanced
system that integrates Magnetic Ride Control, launch
control, Traction Control and StabiliTrak Electronic
Stability Control to work in harmony for racetrack
performance and consistency.

THE ULTIMATE CONVERTIBLE Go ahead and open
it up. It’s hard to top the 580-horsepower ZL1 Coupe.
Unless of course you lower the top — and keep nearly
all the acceleration, road-hugging, high-performance
capabilities of the most technologically advanced
Camaro ever. Your call.
