Chevrolet has introduced a reinvigorated and restyled 2019 Camaro lineup with distinctive designs, new available technologies, and the first-ever Turbo 1LE. The Turbo 1LE comes exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission and a tailored chassis package derived from the V6 1LE to offer track-capable performance.
The 2019 Camaro Turbo 1LE joins the track-focused 1LE lineup, offering an FE3 suspension and new Track and Competitive Driving modes.
Highlights for the new lineup, available this fall, include:
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.
The 2019 Camaro RS gets new front-end styling -- including the fascia, grille, LED dual-element headlamps, and reshaped hood -- that distinguishes it from the LS/LT and SS.
Lineup design highlights include:
The 2019 Camaro SS is now offered with a 10L80 10-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission.
