Camaro ZL1 Carbon Concept

Welcome to the dark side of Camaro ZL1. This concept incorporates all the technology and performance of the Camaro ZL1 – which goes on sale in 2012 – but with an added layer of carbon fiber to add a decidedly sinister-looking element of form to a car that’s all about function. Included on this concept is the new Ashen Gray exterior paint (available on all 2012 Camaro models).

Vehicle highlights:

Chevrolet Accessories exposed-weave carbon fiber “Mohawk” hood insert
Carbon fiber rear spoiler with stainless-steel wicker bill
Carbon fiber inserts on the interior door and instrument panel
Lightweight 20x10-inch (front) and 20x11-inch (rear) wheels in satin black with machined faces
Brembo® six-piston front calipers, with two-piece front rotors, and four-piston rear calipers (Chevrolet Official Licensed Product)
Magnetic Ride Control
Dual exhaust outlets with active exhaust and diffuser
Jet Black leather interior with sueded microfiber seat inserts and Torch Red stitching
ZL1 short-throw shifter with suede and carbon fiber-trimmed shift knob
Suede-trimmed flat-bottom steering wheel
ZL1 pedals

“This concept’s dramatic appearance matches the extreme performance capabilities of the Camaro ZL1,” said Tony Roma, program engineering manager for the Camaro ZL1. “And even if its styling doesn’t intimidate you, its performance on the track will.”

White would look damn sharp, but I think that goes against the theme of "Carbon."

I sat in it. The coolest thing about it, aside from the engine, was the feel of the suede accents. Oh, and the subtle look of the carbon fiber accents.

I wonder how much one would have to pay for splashes of carbon fiber here and there.

It looks pretty nice though.

Yeah no kidding, that is the one thing that turns me off of the 5th gens is the dash.

At least they changed the steering wheel on this one too, the regular wheel is hideous.

The old wheel was original to the Camaro, unlike the new parts-bin POS. The old one looked great, the new one looks wierd... and despite what I keep reading, it felt good in my hands while playing around with a friend's 2SS. If I bought a ZL1, probably the first thing I'd do is swap the old wheel in.

I'm going against the grain here.....those whells are fucking ugly. Looks like something that should be on a full size truck.

I agree makes it look like you're staring at Wall-e's face.

+1, the standard ZL1 wheels look much better.
