2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Specs

Chevy announced several new models, such as Malibu and Silverado, but none of these will set the world on fire.

However, there is one model that attracts a lot of attention – the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Camaro is known as one of the best-designed cars by Chevrolet, and it doesn’t lack power. Its primary target is young people, but you can also see many middle-aged individuals driving this beauty. It comes with sharp edges, huge wheelbase, and four exhaust tips but this isn’t everything.

Camaro is known as an aggressive car, and new refreshments will contribute even more to its aggressiveness. The very first thing you notice is the wheelbase. It has 20 inches in diameter and is bigger than usual. Goodyear designed special low-profile tires only for the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Interior

If you are waiting for the interior changes, you will be quite disappointed. Chevy didn’t want to change almost anything inside the cabin since designers were satisfied with the feedback of the previous model. Seats look a bit different, though. They were designed by Recaro and are made of black Nappa leather with red stripes added.

There are also numerous ZL1 nameplates all over the cabin. Bottom of the steering wheel is flattened which is quite unusual, even for Chevrolet. It is equipped with numerous buttons that enable a driver to control audio, windows, etc. The 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 offers some optional features such as Performance Data Recovery System.
