The folks on staff at Motor Trend have always shown a large amount of love for the Camaro and featured the coupe and convertible on their blog last week as they both enter the 2021 model year. Even if the changes are on the minimal side, they still conclude with the statement that this is one of the most noteworthy cars in existence, and they were excited that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are now featured across the line.
The wireless charging feature was previously limited to the high-performance ZL1 trim and now will see availability on the higher-end 3LT and 2SS models. V-8 SS models that are equipped with the optional 10-speed automatic transmission are now available with what was the previously stick-shift-only 1LE performance package. Obtaining this package on an automatic SS replaces the trim's standard 2.77:1 final-drive ratio with the slightly shorter 2.85:1 rear-end gear. Also new for 2021, Camaro LT1 buyers will see the option to add the Redline Edition and RS packages to the entry-level 8-cylinder Camaro.
You won't be able to score the Rally Green or Garnet Red Tintcoat color options on the new model here at O'Rielly Chevy of Tucson, but we assure you that the raw and powerful core of this pony legend remains exactly the same! The LT and LS models still derive power from a standard 275-hp turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine or an available 3.6-liter V6. SS and LT1 models will keep using the 455-hp 6.2-liter V8 underhood, and the top contender in the form of the ZL1 is powered by the 6.2-liter V8 that thunders down on any unsuspecting road with a whopping 650-hp.
The six-speed manual is standard for all models, and an 8-speed automatic is available on 4-cylinder Camaros, with a 10-speed automatic available on six and eight-cylinder models. The gallery on the blog here is stunning and shows a pristine red Camaro from every imaginable angle. The closeup of the front grille is particularly awesome, as well as the jet black and sinister tires. The 2021 Chevy Camaro is assembled by GM USA at the GM Lansing Grand River Factory, the only facility in the world to proudly construct the vehicle.
We expect that the 6th-generation Camaro will continue for the next two years and that an all-new future edition will launch sometime around 2023. There's a chance that that vehicle may be electric, but there's plenty of time for discussion and development before that arrival. With 8 levels of trim for the coupe and seven for the convertible, you'll be able to find the one that suits you best, and blast happily down the winding canyon or two-lane trial of your choice!
