Chevy Camaro Convertible

There have been so many photos of the upcoming Chevy Camaro..that its getting a little crazy, but due to the positive feedback of the first pre=production photos, GM has released two new ones of the Camaro Convertible.

Camaro Police Cruiser

The 2010 Chevy Camaro is likely to attract its fair share of police attention. But what if the new Camaro was the police car? Whoa. Rendered gallery below.

The detailed photoshop adds much of the features you'd expect from a police car, including the push-bar and an LED light-strip above the roof. Without many additions the Camaro looks the part of a macho patrol car and reminds us of the Z28 B4C. We also have to credit the creator with the corresponding white-and-blue lights worked into the headlights and alternative taillights, something we now badly want to see... just not in our rearview mirror.

The use of classic white-on-black screams authority, but the all-clear LED bar on the roof and lack of other markings keep it relatively subtle and stealthy. The designers were smart not to try and augment what's already a mean-looking machine.

Camaro debuted in September 1966

 

First-generation Camaro debuted in September 1966, for the 1967 model year, up to 1969 on a new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and would be available as a 2-door, 2+2 seating, coupe or convertible with a choice of 250 cu in (4.1 L) inline-6 and 302 cu in (4.9 L), 307 cu in (5.0 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), 350 cu in (5.7 L), or 396 cu in (6.5 L) V8 powerplants. Concerned with the runaway success of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet executives realized that their compact sporty car, the Corvair, would not be able to generate the sales volume of the Mustang due to its rear-engine design, as well as declining sales, partly due to the bad publicity from Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at Any Speed. Therefore, the Camaro was touted as having the same conventional rear-drive, front-engine configuration as Mustang and Chevy II Nova. In addition, the Camaro was designed to fit a variety of power plants in the engine bay. The first-generation Camaro would last until the 1969 model year and would eventually inspire the design of the new retro fifth-generation Camaro.

Performance wise Lingenfelter’s tuning package starts off with a supercharged version of the Camaro SS’s 6.2L LS3 V8 making a total of 550-hp, 570-hp or 650-hp. Lingenfelter is also offering a package with a twin-turbo LS7 7.0L production up to 800-hp.

Lingenfelter will also offer a number of visual enhancements for the 2010 Camaro including a front fascia and rocker extension, a front splitter, grille bar inserts with wire mesh texture, hood with air extractors, rear deck lip spoiler, rear fascia extention with exhaust tips and a rear tail lamp panel.
