Introducing the Camaro we've all been waiting for: the 580 horsepower Chevrolet Camaro that lapped the Nürburgring in 7:41:27.
This is the Camaro ZL1.
The Camaro ZL1 uses a sixth-generation Eaton supercharged combined with a 6.2L V8 based on GM's legendary small-block V8 architecture. Mated to either a six-speed manual or Hydra-Matic 6L90 automatic transmission, this powertrain is sure to produce a higher level of performance than ever before. Taking cues from the Corvette ZR1, the Camaro ZL1 will feature Performance Track Management (PTM) that introduces 5 modes that adjust traction control, stability control and magnetic ride control to tailor the behaviour of the car to the driver's skill and the driving conditions.

Magnetic Ride Control (MRC)
The Camaro ZL1 will also feature the third-generation of Magnetic Ride Control (MRC). The Camaro ZL1 will feature the third-generation of Magnetic Ride Control (MRC). MRC employs valveless damping and Magneto-Rheological (MR) fluid technology. MR fluid is a suspension of iron particles in a synthetic fluid. When the system is activated, the particles are magnetized and aligned into fibrous structures, changing flow resistance. By controlling the current to an electromagnetic coil inside the piston of the damper, the system varies the suspension firmness to match the road and driving conditions. The new design allows even more precise control of the electrical current (and magnetic flux), allowing greater range between the softest setting for ride comfort and the firmest setting for track driving. The new dual-coil design also enables faster response, with damping levels now adjusted up to 1,000 times per second – about one adjustment per inch of vehicle travel at 60 mph – making the system exceptionally responsive to changing driving and road conditions. There are three settings for MRC in the ZL1: Tour, Sport, and Track.
