  • DF Automotive Tunes Flying Uwe’s Chevrolet Camaro

    DF Automotive Chevrolet Camaro Front ViewWhat happens when you combine a Chevy Camaro, a martial artists and experts in tuning? The answer is probably something like the car we see here. To be more precise this Camaro is property of the martial artist Uwe Schuder, better known as the “Flying Uwe”. He is not “just another” fitness or kung fu star, but has joined the filming of “Transformers”. This eventually made him fulfilled his automobile wish dream to own the famous Chevrolet muscle car.

    Of course, the 26-year-old star turned had to make his Camaro “one-and-only” and for this reason he turned for help to DF Automotive. They stepped in by offering and applying some custom made goodies, giving the car more purposeful look and individually.

    To start with the wheels, they are all black and feature seven double spokes. The size is 21-inches and the manufacturer – y SCHMIDT-Felgen. Standing under the name Gambit, they were fitted with Continental SportContactTM 6 tires in 255/35-21 on the front and 295/30-21 on the rear axle.

    As we can see, DF Automotive also changed the exhaust. Made by Supersprint and installed by the DF Automotive, this exhaust weighs less and sounds better, thus optimizing car’s performance. The last change made here (but not the least of importance) is the addition of KW variant 3 coilovers with adjustable pressure and tension stages. They lend the car very special driving dynamics.

    In this configuration, I’m sure that the Camaro is the perfect ship for the Flying Uwe.

The good news is that the company was extremely good represented at the event with not one but four customized concepts, which demonstrate the personalization and performance possibilities that the brand is offering. Of course, this comes to highlight the 2016 Camaro entering the dealerships across the country.

The good news is that of you have liked one of them, you will have the chance to order some of the elements in accessory packages in early 2016. The accessories are viewable online via the Camaro Visualizer.

    Camaro Performance Concept

    This Chevy is definitely dedicated to those keen on performance. The reason for this is because it utilizes new components like the performance air intake, exhaust system and a red engine cover. Not to mention the suspension-lowering kit and a Brembo front brake upgrade kit with six-piston calipers.

    Camaro Krypton Concept

    Last but not least is the Krypton Concept. In fact, it’s my favorite exterior among four.  Its paint scheme was inspired by the noble gas Krypton, which has the ability to illuminate fluorescent lights. Fluorescent green or Krypton Green is a custom hue developed specifically for this Gen Six SEMA concept.

    But that is not all; the concept is also adorned by Chevy’s special treatment. It includes RS package that adds 20-inch wheels, high-intensity discharge headlamps trimmed in green, darkened taillamps, unique upper and lower grilles and a rear spoiler. Standing lower to the ground, via the addition of a sportier kit, this Camaro looks sportier than ever. And have you spotted the dual-mode exhaust with custom-painted exhaust tips? How cool is that?

    In other words, we definitely feel satisfied from this year’s SEMA show line-up. Wonder what they have in mind for next year.

  • Bumblebee Inside and Out: Meet Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1

    Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Side ViewBumblebee is probably everyone’s favorite Chevrolet Camaro model and especially in the case they are ‘Transformers’ series fans. The popular car is dressed in the aggressive color combination of black and blue and its interior has been made all black. And here is where Carlex Design tuners have found a flaw. Wouldn’t it be more harmonious if cabin’s design theme is in black and yellow too? The answer to this question is positive and here is the result.

    The new striking cabin of the Bumblebee is due to the work of the talented designers at the Carlex Design. As you can see it is in perfect harmony with the exterior of the car. By the way, this particular unit comes from the model year 2014, but this doesn’t hamper us of admiring it.

    So, what did happen to the cabin? The transformed and improved interior highlights the sharp lines of the chassis, but at the same time it does other things and they are regarding the materials used inside.

    Carlex Design Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Interior

    Here are the details: The clearly visible contrast has been created via the use of ultra rich black Nappa leather and the vivid yellow tone of the leather from Lamborghini range. As a result, the designers achieved an internal compliment to the external distinctiveness of body’s appearance.

    Even more, the experts also added some artistic airbrush painting applied to the decorative parts of the dashboard and door panels. How cool is that? What do you think: should the Bumblebee be produced as a standard with this bi-tone interior or should it keep its black one?

  • 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Breaks Cover!

    2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Front View2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible has been finally revealed and it looks invigorating! The cabrio features the design of the coupe variant but has a retractable soft top. By the way, Chevrolet says that this top is the most advanced one in the segment. In terms of performance and design, this convertible literally stands out. And with the addition of the sophisticated top, the Camaro looks not only fantastic, but also delivers enjoyable ride.

    Most Advanced Top in the Segment

    If you wonder what’s so special about this top, you need to reed further. 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is the only car in the cabriolet segment, which offers several functions related to its top. First, the latter operates fully automatically with the help of latches, thus automatically releasing and securing the top.

    The second feature is that it opens or closes at speeds of up to 30 mph, and can be also opened remotely via key fob. The next cool feature is that the hard tonneau cover is deployed automatically, in order to provide a more refined, finished appearance when the top is lowered and stowed.

    Furthermore, the electro-hydraulic power roof system features multilayer construction. The benefit of this is that it improves the acoustic and thermal insulation. In addition, the system was designed to provide more comfortable and quieter ride.

    Design

    Of course, there is nothing else different in the convertible from the coupe, excluding the top and the position of the antenna for the radio. The top perfectly emulates the sleek silhouette of the Camaro coupe.

    Just like its sibling, the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible is built on a stiffer, but lighter structure. By the way, the weight savings here are estimated at around 200 pounds compared to the previous generation. These facts also lead to the conclusion that the Camaro convertible will still have coupe’s “sharp chassis tuning and nimble reflexes”.

    There is another advantage from this architecture. It enables the top to fold down completely beneath the belt line. Afterwards, the hard tonneau cover automatically covers the folded top, resulting in an exclusive design and appearance.

    EngineRange

    Just like the Chevy Camaro coupe, the convertible will be offered in LT and SS trim levels. There are six engine combinations offered, including the 2.0L Turbo unit, which has been rated at 275 horsepower (202 kW), the 3.6L V-6 producing 335 horsepower (246 kW), and the LT1 6.2L V-8 with 455 horsepower (335 kW) and 617 Nm (455 lb-ft) of torque. Each powertrain can be mated with either a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission.

    2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible and coupe will be available on the market in the beginning of next year.

  • 2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible Leaks Ahead of Official Debut

    2016 Chevy Camaro Convertible Leak Images2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible has already leaked right before it makes official debut tomorrow. Next to the released video at Chevrolet’s YouTube channel, it seems that the company “accidentally” released the pictures shown above on their site. They were after that removed, but conscious people at camaro6.com forum were fast enough to download them and later publish them.

    What we basically see is that the 2016 Chevy Camaro Coupe in a convertible variant. And there is nothing more to that or anything surprising. The difference here is only in the retractable soft top and the changed position of the antenna.

    Official Teaser Video

    What is more, the company also stated that this will be the most innovative Camaro Convertible ever produced. And given the fact that we have already seen the pictures, we expect to see the innovations included mostly in terms of technology, engines and features.

    Expectations

    2016 Chevy Camaro Engines

    2016 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe debuted in May and by doing so it inspired the world with its beautiful forms and potent engines. The sixth gen Camaro has shed more than 200 pounds of its weight, thus achieving better driving experience and more responsiveness. So we definitely expect to see this approach applied in the convertible.

    The range of engines for the coupe features six different powertrain combinations. The first one is found in the Camaro LT and it is the 2.0L Turbo, producing 275 horsepower (205 kW) and 295 lb-ft of torque (400 Nm).

    The LT grade can be also equipped with the 3.6L V6 capable of 335 horsepower (250 kW) and 284 lb-ft (385 Nm) of torque. At last, the most powerful Camaro SS is powered by the 6.2L LT1 V8 engine rated at 455 horses (339 kW) and 455 lb-ft (617 Nm).

    2016 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will probably go on sale later this like its Coupe sibling.

    It all goes down tomorrow. Stay tiuned!
