The wait is finally over. After a seven-year hiatus, the all-new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is now on sale in Al Jomaih Automotive, Abdullatif Alissa Automotive Company, Balubaid Automotive Company and Universal Motors Agencies showrooms across Saudi Arabia. Customers who have pre-booked their Camaro can pick it up from the respective showroom, while new customers can book a Camaro with their trim of choice. The 2010 Camaro is a stunning sports car for the 21st century, with a modern treatment of a classic design, all driven by a 462hp (gross) powerplant for the Camaro SS and 323hp (gross) for the Camaro LT. “The Camaro will raise the bar for other sports cars because it isn't just about power. It's a head turner that captures the spirit of the American muscle car with its performance but has the appointments of a modern sedan,” said Johnny Amiouni, Camaro launch manager in the Middle East. The 2010 Camaro is sleekly styled on the DNA of the first generation Camaro, produced from 1967 to 1969. For the exterior, this includes classic proportions with a long hood, short deck and muscular fender forms. It also includes the classic “V” shaped nose and gills located in the front of the rear quarter panel which give the Camaro an aggressive look. Inside is a well-executed balance of retro and modern design. A pair of deeply recessed instrument binnacles feature round gauges in square housings outlined in chrome. Even more attention to detail is evidenced in the available centre console gauge cluster, which displays oil temperature, oil pressure, state-of-battery and transmission fluid temperature. The centre console is given a modern touch with LED backlighting. The Camaro is available in two trims in the Middle East. The LT has a standard 3.6L Direct V-6 engine that pumps out 323hp (gross) and propels the car from 0-100km/h in 6.1 seconds. The SS model comes with two equally impressive 6.2L V-8 engines. The manual transmission packs 462hp (gross) punch while the automatic transmission puts out 441hp (gross). Both launch from 0-100km/h in a thrilling 4.7 seconds, with a torque of 408 lb/ft.
