“Lauded since its introduction for its balance of driving fun, refinement and value, the restyled 2019 Camaro reaches even higher with more of the design, technology and choices that customers want,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet marketing director for Cars and Crossovers. “It’s a performer with few competitors and a pillar of Chevrolet’s energized car lineup.”

PERFORMANCE-DRIVEN DESIGN

The 2019 Camaro’s updated designs are not only striking but also help to improve performance. For instance, the grille details and hood and fascia vents were designed for optimized air flow, either to cool components or help minimize drag or lift. Camaro designers follow the mantra that all elements must not only be beautiful but also enhance performance.

2019 Camaro RS’ new front-end styling, including the fascia, grille, LED dual-element headlamps and reshaped hood, distinguishes it from LS/LT and SS. Design highlights include:

• New front-end styling with distinct
differences between LS/LT, RS and SS,
including the fascia, grille, LED dual-element
headlamps and reshaped hood (ZL1 retains
its airflow-optimized front-end styling)
• SS-specific front fascia with “flowtie” open
bowtie grille emblem and aero-enhancing
air curtains, specific headlamps with new
LED signature and extractor-style hood
• RS Appearance Package available on
LT adds unique polished black grille with
Galvano Chrome lower inserts, new LED
headlamps with LED signature light bar,
specific rear fascia with rear diffuser and
20-inch wheels
• New rear fascias for all models, with
specific diffusers on RS and SS when
equipped with Dual Mode Exhaust
• New LED taillamps with a more sculptured
evolution of Chevrolet’s signature dualelement design; red lenses are featured on
LS and LT, with RS, SS and ZL1 featuring
dark-tinted neutral-density lenses
• New 20-inch wheel designs on RS and SS

The new Camaro Turbo 1LE joins the V6 1LE, SS 1LE and ZL1 1LE to round out Camaro’s lineup of 1LE track stars. Leveraging the impressive performance and ideal weight distribution enabled by Camaro’s 2.0L turbocharged engine, the Turbo 1LE comes exclusively with a sixspeed manual transmission and a tailored chassis package derived from the V6 1LE to offer track-capable performance.
