Built on the Alpha Platform The 6th-gen Camaro SS is built on GM’s Alpha platform, shared with the Cadillac ATS and CTS, making it lighter and more agile than the previous generation.
Powered by a 6.2L LT1 V8 The Camaro SS features a naturally aspirated 6.2L LT1 V8, producing 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque, offering one of the best power-to-weight ratios in its class.
0-60 MPH in Just 4.0 Seconds With the 10-speed automatic transmission, the Camaro SS can accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) in just 4.0 seconds, making it a true muscle car performer.
Lighter and More Compact Than the 5th-Gen Camaro The 6th-gen Camaro SS is around 200 lbs (90 kg) lighter than its predecessor, improving handling, acceleration, and fuel efficiency.
Available with a 6-Speed Manual Transmission Unlike some modern performance cars, the Camaro SS still offers a 6-speed manual transmission, featuring Active Rev Matching for smoother downshifts.
Magnetic Ride Control for Better Handling The Camaro SS 1LE package includes Magnetic Ride Control, adjusting the suspension in real time to improve ride comfort and track performance.
Aggressive Design with Functional Aerodynamics The 2019 facelift introduced a more aggressive front fascia, while the SS model includes heat-extracting hood vents and an optional rear spoiler for improved aerodynamics.
Driver Mode Selector for Custom Performance The Camaro SS features a Driver Mode Selector, allowing drivers to switch between Tour, Sport, Track, and Snow/Ice modes, adjusting throttle response, steering, and stability control.
Track-Focused 1LE Package The SS 1LE package adds Brembo brakes, a performance-tuned suspension, wider tires, and a more aggressive aerodynamic package, making it a track-ready machine.
Discontinued in 2024 – The End of an Era Chevrolet discontinued the Camaro in 2024, making the 6th-gen SS one of the last V8-powered Camaros, adding to its collector appeal.

The 6th-gen Camaro SS is the last of the purebred American muscle cars, a 6.2L LT1 V8-powered beast with magnetic ride control and 1LE track prowess. In Europe, it's a rare sight, with prices now stabilizing for unmodified, low-mileage examples.
