GM will be offering the Chevrolet Camaro with four-cylinder engines and also with V6 and V8 engines. This is to keep up with the economical cars that the U.S. has to offer. They believe that only 30% of the Camaro sales will be with the V8 models and will feature a 400bhp-odd version of the 6.0 litre block that can also be found in the Corvette.
The bulk of sales will be of the 3.6 V6 (as used in the Cadillac CTS, developed for around 300bhp), at least until the four-cylinder models - probably using the turbocharged GM Ecotec 2.0-litre - arrive. However, a 425bhp top-line SS model is still said to be under consideration.
General Motors has confirmed that the Camaro will come in right-hand-drive form for the UK; it will arrive here in early 2010 with sales of around 600 cars a year planned. Half of these are expected to be convertible versions. While initially GM had considered only offering UK buyers high-spec V8s, this may now be revised.
