Chevrolet has revealed an eye-catching Inferno Orange COPO Camaro Convertible at the 2012 SEMA Motor Show. Only 12 units of the COPO Camaro will have this Inferno Orange Metallic paint. The other cars from the model will come in Victory Red, Black, Summit White, Silver Ice Metallic and Ashen Grey Metallic paint.
“The COPO Camaro program has been a special program and there’s not a better way to close out the 2012 racing season than with the final – and most unique – one of the production run,” said Jim Campbell, GM U.S. vice president of Performance Vehicles and Motorsports.
“I am also happy to announce that due to strong customer demand we will produce another run of 69 COPO Camaros for 2013. More than 3,000 hand-raisers expressed interest in buying a COPO after we introduced the car at SEMA last year. We are excited to support these grassroots motorsports enthusiasts in their Stock Eliminator and Super Stock drag racing efforts,” added Mr. Campbell.
Totally 69 COPO Camaros will be built and this is one of them. It also comes with a 327 engine and 4.0L supercharger. The power is 550HP (410 kW). This is also one of the two convertible vehicles, which will be built.

What you will buy, if you are a petrol head and you own the half of China? Of course, a Koenigsegg Agera will do the work perfectly, but a lot of people have one, so yours should be a little different. Some body work and a new set of wheels probably will be good.The wealthy Chinese businessman ordered the special edition Agera through a Shanghai dealer.Agera R is one of the most powerful vehicles in the world. It has a 5.0 liter twin-turbo V8 delivering more than a thousand HP and Nm of torque. 0-100 km/h in less than 3 seconds and a top speed of more than 220 mph. However, the one-off Agera (on the picture) is boosted to whopping 1400HP (1044 kW).The special edition Agera also gets more aggressive front with a lower front splitter and a carbon fiber air scoop on the fixed roof. There is also a big wing on the rear for more downforce.Other impressive thing of Agera is the brake system – 100-0 km/h in 30.5 m.Nothing is mentioned about the price, which the businessman paid.
