On the occasion of the Canadian debut of the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and 45th Anniversary Special Edition at the Camaro Homecoming event at the Oshawa Assembly Plant, GM confirmed that a 6-speed automatic transmission will be offered alongside the previously announced 6-speed manual gearbox for the top-end ZL1 model.
The Detroit automaker said it will provide “further product and timing details” on the automatic model closer to the ZL1’s launch in the beginning of 2012.
The new Camaro ZL1 was presented for the first time to the public at the 2011 Chicago Auto Show this past February. It is powered by GM’s 6.2-liter supercharged LSA V8 engine producing an estimated 550-horsepower and 550 lb.-ft. of torque (745 Nm). While GM is holding back on the performance numbers, the company claims the ZL1 will be the fastest production Camaro in history.
