No line of new Camaros would be complete without a convertible —
so here it is.
We saw it in person last week at the GM Dealer meetings and boy
does it ever look good.
One cool feature on the sixth-generation 2016 Camaro Convertible
is a soft top that can be operated at speeds up to 50 kms per hour — no
reason to pull over to the side of the road if it starts raining. You can also
operate the roof remotely using the wireless key fob. Watch this video to see
the drop top in action on the go.
Convertibles always add weight, but this one benefits from the
same weight reduction as the coupe, shaving around 200 pounds off its
fifth-generation equivalent. It'll be available in the same engine
configurations as the coupe, too, ranging from a turbo four cylinder good for
275 horsepower up to a 6.2-liter V-8 at 455 horsepower. (Odds are good we'll
see higher-performance versions, too, but those are down the road.) It would
have been hard to imagine a 4 cylinder Camaro back in the 60’s … but 275 hp is
decent.
There were no convertibles available to test drive at the Dealer
meetings but we did get a chance to take both the V6 and 6.2 equipped models
out for a spin. 455 horsepower is probably about all I would ever need.
This 2016 model is truly “new”. The SS badge and one other small
part are the only carryover’s from the current Camaro. Pricing hasn't been
announced yet, but the Camaro convertible will be available early next year,
ready to engage in its eternal battle against the Ford Mustang.
But there is no need to wait … we have 1 - new (and 5 - slightly
used) Camaro convertible’s in stock right now for immediate delivery … check
