The Chevrolet Camaro Concept was celebrated star of the American Auto Show 2006 season. Now, at the beginning of 2007 auto show season, there's a new star rising: The Chevrolet Camaro convertible concept. It will be presented on the eve of the North American International Auto Show's GM Style, an exclusive fashion event combining celebrities splashed, fashion and cars. Chevrolet already has announced production plans for the Camaro, which goes on sale in the United States in 2009. A production convertible model will be added in the same year.
The Camaro convertible concept is based on the original Camaro concept, with only minor changes necessary to accommodate the convertible body style. It shares exterior dimensions with the Camaro concept (L / W / H: 4730 / 2022 / 1344 mm), although the convertible concept windshield surround, which offers bright anodized finish, is changed slightly to accommodate the roof. The Camaro convertible concept is motivated by a V-8 engine torque that sends power to the right rear wheels via a manual transmission. It also has a four-wheel independent suspension and four-wheel disc brakes.
