Chevy has announced that it will soon begin shipping the all-new 2016 Camaro to dealers across the United States.
The first batch of production models will leave the plant by the end of this week and are expected to arrive at dealerships for customer delivery by mid-November.
The first customer Gen Six Camaros have been built at GM’s Lansing Grand River Assembly facility, which received a $175-million (€158.4 million) upgrade in tooling and equipment to support production of the new generation model.
“It is an exciting day for everyone involved in bringing the new Camaro from a concept to the assembly line. As the transporters head out to dealerships across the country, the hard work and pride of everyone at Lansing Grand River Assembly goes with them,” said Mike Trevorrow, Lansing regional plant manager.
The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro starts at $26,695 for the Camaro 1LT and $37,295 for the 1SS. The automaker offers six all-new powertrain combinations, including a standard 270hp 2.0L Turbo and an available, all-new 330hp 3.6L V6 in LT models, and the 455hp LT1 6.2L V8 in the SS – the most powerful Camaro SS ever. Each engine is available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.
The first vehicles to be delivered to customers are coupes – SS or LT models with the 3.6L V6. Shipping of the Camaro Convertible and models with the 2.0L Turbo engine will begin in early 2016.
