Chevrolet Camaro SS Supercharged by GME to 619 HP

If the 6.2-liter V8 engine's 432 horsepower is not enough to get your heart racing about the Chevy pony car, then what would you say about a brawny Camaro pumped up by the Germans? It may sound weird at first, but think about it for a second: American muscle meets German quality. Doesn't sound that bad, innit?

This tuning recipe cooked up by a Leipzig-based firm called GME starts with an ordinary 6.2L V8-powered Camaro, but the finished product hikes the original-spec 432 ponies and 569 Nm (419 lb-ft) all the way to 619 horsepower and a tire-shredding 692 Nm (510 lb-ft) at 5,540 rpm. Curious what's under the hood?

Well, GME bolted a supercharger on top of that V8, while the factory exhaust was ditched in favor of a free breathing sports exhaust system. In addition to the previously mentioned, GME's Camaro also boasts with an adjustable suspension, ensuring a comfortable ride or minimum body roll depending on what the driver wants to do with the 1.8-ton car.

Furthermore, the extra grunt and weight is kept in check by a new high-performance braking system, employing 8-piston front and 4-piston rear rotors that contrast beautifully with the 20-inch black & red alloy rims. Last but not least, all of those upgrades cut the 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) time to 3.9 seconds, while the maximum speed now breaks the 186 mph (300 km/h) mark.
