The new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 will hit the Mideast markets in October. The New Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, the most technically advanced car ever developed in its class, is coming to the Middle East market. The new ZL1 continues the momentum of Camaro, propelling it into an entirely new realm of leading-edge performance technology. Motivated by a supercharged V-8 engine producing a 580 horsepower, the Camaro ZL1 is the fastest Camaro ever offered by Chevrolet. And more than just power, the ZL1 features technologically advanced and highly developed chassis and suspension systems that help it deliver balanced, track-ready handling and braking power to complement its high engine output. “Camaro ZL1 is about high-tech performance and design, and is a type of car no one has ever brought to this segment previously," said Rick Scheidt, vice president of Chevrolet marketing. “It's the most technically advanced Camaro ever, so we've chosen a name from the most elite and exclusive Camaro in history." The ZL1 name is derived from the all-aluminum racing engine of the same name, which was developed in the late 1960s and installed into a handful of regular-production 1969 Camaros. Only 69 were built with the engine, but they've achieved mythical status among enthusiasts, as they represented the pinnacle in Camaro performance – until now. – SG
