Searching for: 2008 camaro

2008 CamaroChevrolet unveils a convertible version of the Camaro at the Detroit motor show this weekend and is more then likely to put it, and a coupe version, on sale in the UK. Although nothing official has been confirmed yet, insiders say the pair of retro muscle-cars look ready to start the journey for the UK, and in right-hand-drive layout, too.

While it’s too early for final power outputs and performance figures at the moment, the coupe that was unveiled last year used a 6.0-litre V8 developing 400bhp. Production cars are likely to be similarly powerful, which means they’ll shoot from 0-60mph in close to 4.0sec.

2008 Camaro ConceptBefore the brand new Camaro’s US release in 2008, Australians will be the first to get a sneak peak at the first production models. In fact, the cars will be cruising the Australian highways before the year’s out.

Why do the sons of Dundee get preferential treatment over we Yanks of American persuasion? Blame it on GM’s Holden division, which created the General’s new rear-drive platform on which the Camaro (and its own Commodore) is based.
