The most powerful Camaro ever to roll of the production line is almost here, as production of the ZL1 started yesterday at the Oshawa Assembly Plant. The coupe will arrive this spring, retailing for $54,995. Both it and the convertible that’s coming a few months later are equipped with the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8, packing 580 hp and 556 lb-ft (754 Nm) of torque. The most powerful factory Camaro ever will do the quarter mile run in 12.1 seconds at 119mph (191km/h) before reaching its top speed of 180mph (290 km/h).
“This is an exciting new chapter in the ongoing revival of the tremendously popular Chevrolet Camaro,” said Kevin Williams, president and managing director of GM of Canada. “The new 2012 Camaro ZL1 is the most-powerful Camaro ever produced by Chevrolet and further demonstrates the flexible capabilities of the award-winning Oshawa Assembly Plant.”
“Through a disciplined approach and a relentless focus on execution, the Oshawa team has worked efficiently to ensure a successful, high-quality launch of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1,” stated Dan Hermer, plant manager at the Oshawa Assembly Plant.
“New product mandates like the Camaro ZL1 are testaments to the calibre of the workforce in Oshawa,” added Chris Buckley, president of the Canadian Auto Workers Local 222.
