Chevrolet announced the 2022 Camaro in Japan as a limited-run Wild Cherry Edition. Only ten cars will be produced, all of them being exclusively available on the Japanese market. We suspect Camaro’s Japanese fans have already ordered them all and are now sitting in front of their fireplaces counting the days until delivery. This will be, by all means, a long wait, with the cars expected to be delivered starting in May 2022.

As you probably guessed, the special edition owes its name to the special Wild Cherry Tintcoat paint that was introduced more than a year ago for the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro. Since then, GM also offered two Wild Cherry design packages, so American drivers already enjoyed pretty much the same benefits as the special edition bound for Japan. What seems to be new is the “sporty silver rally stripe” that adorns the hood, this being introduced for the first time on Camaro.

Although you will not see it in the dynamic picture above, the 5 split-spoke, bright silver painted wheels are unique too, though they may be similar to those featured in the base Wild Cherry design package. GM only released one picture of the exterior, so we have to imagine how the cockpit looks. According to the press release, a jet black/adrenaline red combination of colors is used for the interior

The 2022 Chevrolet Camaro Wild Cherry Edition shares the rest of its characteristics with the Camaro LT RS base model. This includes the 2.0-liter turbo engine with 275 HP mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission.

Along with the new Wild Chery Edition model, Chevrolet also updated the pricing for the entire Camaro range in Japan. The Camaro Wild Cherry Edition has a base price of 5,990,000 yen ($52,608), which is 300.000 yen ($2,635) more than the regular Camaro LT RS. Camaro Convertible is priced at 6,590,000 yen ($57.878), while the Camaro SS will be the most expensive, at 7,290,000 yen ($64,025).
