British Chevrolet fans will be able to purchase a new 2016 Camaro right from a local showroom. But there is a catch - it comes in left-hand drive form.
In spite of Chevrolet’s retreat from the European market, the 2061 Camaro will be available for sale on the Old Continent, but it comes with a hefty price tag when compared to an equivalent Ford Mustang.
Only one Chevrolet dealer in the United Kingdom has received permission from General Motors to sell the new Camaro, and reports from Autocar reveal that only 18 vehicles have been allocated to this market for 2016.
You read that right. Chevrolet will deliver less than twenty MY 2016 Camaros in the UK. The rest of Europe can only wait, or order through a specialized company that might import Camaros from the USA.
The first units will arrive in September, but the dealership has opened its order books for the 2016 Camaro.
The entry-level version of the Chevrolet Camaro Coupe, fitted with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder will start at £32,500, with an eight-speed automatic gearbox as standard. For the 6.2-liter V8 engine with a six-speed manual on a Camaro Coupe, customers will have to pay at least £37,000.
Optional equipment includes the magnetic ride control system (only for the V8), racing stripes, the eight-speed automatic transmission, and convenience and lighting packages for the entry-level model. Customers will have to wait for at least three months for delivery, while four months is the maximum expected delay.
When compared to the EU-spec Ford Mustang in the UK market, the Camaro is at least £2,000 more expensive. The 2.3-liter EcoBoost Mustang starts at £30,995, while the 5.0-liter V8 Mustang GT starts at £34,995. Furthermore, Ford has a Europe-wide dealer network, and UK customers get the right-hand drive version of the Mustang.
Chevrolet will showcase its 2016 Camaro at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
