01:04 - This is it.
01:07 This is the All New 2016 Camaro.
01:10 (crowd cheering)
01:12 I can say with complete confidence
01:16 that it's one of the world's best performance cars, period.
01:21 This car is far superior to any car
01:23 in the sports car arena.
01:25 I've driven this car on the Autobahn
01:27 and in airborne terrain.
01:29 It is wicked fast and extremely nimble.
01:33 That's largely because this All New Camaro
01:35 was built on an all new lightweight structure.
01:38 Each and every part has been optimized and engineered
01:42 to take out every pound, in fact every gram,
01:45 that wasn't necessary.
01:47 The instrument panel frame is now aluminum.
01:50 The hood is aluminum.
01:52 The front suspension links are aluminum.
01:55 And what isn't aluminum, it has been optimized
01:58 and engineered to take out any unnecessary mass.
02:02 These efforts allowed us to reduce the overall mass
02:04 by more than 200 pounds, model for model.
02:08 That gives this car an extremely agile
02:11 and responsive driving experience
02:13 that you'll notice the first time
02:15 you get behind the wheel of this car.
02:17 The new Camaro offers six new powertrain combinations,
02:20 each one offering technology to deliver more performance
02:24 and yes, more efficiency.
02:27 For 2016, we'll offer the first turbocharged Camaro ever.
02:32 And with more than 30 miles per gallon highway,
02:35 it will be the most fuel efficient Camaro ever
02:37 without sacrificing performance.
02:40 With 275 horsepower and 295 foot pounds of torque,
02:45 the two liter turbo goes from zero to 60
02:47 in well under six seconds.
02:50 There's also an all new 3.6 liter V6
02:54 with direct injection and variable valve timing.
02:57 Rated at 335 horsepower, it features active fuel management
03:01 that allows the cylinders to run on four cylinders
03:04 when cut-off power isn't needed.
03:07 And of course, would not be a Camaro
03:10 without the legendary Chevrolet Small Block V8.
03:14 (audience cheering)
03:17 This is the most powerful Camaro SS ever.
03:22 Packed with a 6.2 liter LT1
03:25 that offers 455 horsepower and 455 foot pounds of torque.
03:30 Combine that with our 200 pound weight savings,
03:34 and you start to see the real performance of this car
03:37 on a power to weight ratio.
03:39 It's incredible.
03:40 All three engines are available
03:43 with either a six speed manual transmission
03:45 with active rev matching on the SS,
03:48 or our own eight speed automatic
03:50 produced right here by General Motors.
03:53 And powertrain is just part of the story.
03:56 For 2016, our sophisticated in-depth drive control
04:00 is now available on the Camaro SS for the first time.
04:04 Previously, if you remember,
04:06 it was only available on the up-level C-Bell 1 model.
