Chevrolet’s brand new 2014 Camaro Z/28 will go on sale in the first quarter next year as the “most expensive” version yet, Camaro chief engineer Al Oppenheiser revealed earlier this week, hinting it will cost more than the supercharged ZL1.
“This is going to be the fastest, the most expensive, and in my opinion, the most memorable car in the fifth-generation Camaro,” Oppenheiser told The Detroit News. “And so you almost had to have the emotion be part of the business case to support us.”

Actual price of the Z/28 has yet to be disclosed, but it should start above the $56,000 base price of the Camaro ZL1. Oppenheiser also indicated that the track-focused car will be built in only 3,000 to 4,000 units per year.

As a reminder, the light-weight Camaro Z/28 is powered by a naturally-aspirated 7.0-liter V8 engine that delivers 505 horsepower and 481 lb-ft of torque. The supercharged ZL1, on the other hand, churns 580 HP.
