On May 16, 2015, Chevrolet introduced the sixth generation Camaro at Belle Isle park in Detroit, Michigan. The launch, complete with previous generation Camaros on display, coincided with the vehicle's upcoming 50th birthday.
The advent of the new Camaro will be a challenge to its oldest and main rival, the iconic
Mustang.
The sixth generation Camaro sales will begin in late 2015 and will be offered in LT and SS models built on the GM Alpha platform at Lansing Grand River Assembly in Michigan. The A platform is currently used by the Cadillac ATS. The 2016 Camaro will weigh 200 lb (91 kg) less than its predecessor. Over 70% of the sixth generation's architectural components are unique to the car and are not shared with any other current GM product.
Early production will have three engine versions: a 2.0-liter turbo-charged inline-four producing 275 hp (205 kW; 279 PS), a new 3.6-liter V6 making 335 hp (250 kW; 340 PS), while the SS model features the 6.2-liter V8 with 455 hp (339 kW; 461 PS), and the transmissions are either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic.
On May 27, 2015, Chevrolet announced that the 2016 Camaro will come equipped with both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto Capability features. However, only one of their phone brands at any one time can be used.
