Chevrolet has released a teaser image of the facelifted Camaro SS that will debut at next week’s New York motor show alongside the new Corvette Stingray and the Holden Commodore-based Chevy SS.
General Motors’ volume brand says the Camaro coupe’s 2014 model update represents the most significant upgrade since the Australian-designed fifth-generation model was launched in 2009.
If the tightly cropped teaser image is anything to go by, the facelifted Camaro will bring only minor cosmetic changes, including a new chrome strip along the top edge of a revised black grille with repositioned SS logo.
According to overseas reports, the 2014 Camaro could also be available with GM’s 7.0-litre LS7 V8 engine, which produced 377kW/637Nm in the superseded Corvette Z06.
Designed and engineered by Holden on the same rear-drive Zeta platform that underpins the existing VE and upcoming VF Commodores, the Camaro has been North America’s most popular sports car for the past three consecutive years.
The all-new Chevrolet SS, meantime, not only completes the bow-tie brand’s three-car performance model line-up in the US in the fourth quarter of this year, when it will mark the return of US retail exports for Holden, but forms the basis of Chevy’s 2013 NASCAR assault.
