Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 by Carlex Design

Carlex Design is back with a fresh new project, this time based on the outgoing Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

Chevrolet just launched a new Camaro, but those who want the menacing ZL1 will have to wait a little bit longer as the beefier variant will be out in time for the 2017MY, so until then you're stuck with the outgoing version which has received an interior makeover from Carlex Design. This is actually an older, pre-2014MY with a Bright Yellow paint that has received a matching interior cabin with a striking black and yellow combo.

Just about every visible surface has been given a makeover and the seats are now wrapped around in Nappa leather featuring a black finish combined with a vivid yellow hue which according to Carlex Design takes its cues from Lamborghini's yellow shade. In addition, this Camaro ZL1 also benefits from some artsy airbrush painting on the dashboard and also on the door panels which make the Bumblebee stand out even more.

Geigercars Camaro LS9

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 already puts up some impressive numbers but that hasn't stopped Geigercars from introducing a new tuning program for the American muscle car. Billed as the "perfect driving machine," the Camaro LS9 features a revised grille, racing-inspired tow hooks and 19- / 20-inch Goysar wheels with Michelin Cup tires. The model also has a sports exhaust system, a KW racing suspension and a beefier rear axle.

Under the hood, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine has been equipped with new pistons, upgraded camshafts and a new crankshaft. The company also installs a larger intercooler and optimized cylinder heads. Thanks to these modifications, the engine develops 780 HP (574 kW) and 984 Nm (725 lb-ft) of torque. This allows the coupe to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds, hit a top speed of 338 km/h (210 mph) and run the quarter mile in 11.9 seconds.

The conversion costs €138,090 ($188,670) which brings the cost of the whole vehicle up to €189,000 ($258,230).

Chevrolet Camaro SS by SchwabenFolia

SchwabenFolia has given the Chevrolet Camaro SS a meaner appearance thanks to a dark grey matte metallic exterior finish. Looking as if it was taken straight from a Fast and Furious movie set, this sinister Camaro SS has been reworked by German wrapping specialist SchwabenFolia who installed other parts like blades, vents and scoops. In addition, the vehicle now rides on a fresh new set of BBS alloy wheels painted in black.

Aside from the revised looks, the car's V8 6.2-liter engine has received a supercharger kit, but they haven't released details about power numbers. However, based on their latest program for the Camaro SS, we assume the output of the mill has increased to 525 HP (386 kW) courtesy of a SLP TVS2300 supercharger.

Chevrolet Camaro gets tuned by Wimmer RS and Audiovox

Audiovox has enlisted Wimmer RS to create a bespoke Chevrolet Camaro to promote the company's Magnat audio systems. Looking bold and aggressive, the one-off model has a two-tone exterior with a ground effects package and 22-inch Oxigin wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan Sport tires. The Camaro's cabin has always been a bit of a disappointment, so Wimmer added leather / Alcantara seats and an Audiovox infotainment system. The coupe has also been equipped with a 4400 watt Magnat audio system that has digital amplifiers and two 30cm subwoofers. For added performance, the 6.2-liter V8 engine was outfitted with a revised ECU, an optimized air intake and a stainless steel sports exhaust system. Thanks to these tweaks, the engine produces 451 HP (332 kW) and 596 Nm (439 lb-ft) of torque which enables the car to hit a top speed of 274 km/h (170 mph).

THE AUDIO-CAMARO by MAGNAT

Originally built as a competitor against the Ford Mustang since 1966, the Chevrolet Camaro by GM sees the light of the day in the fifth generation since 2009 in the Canadian Oshawa and it is a typical representative of the so-called pony cars, which exist parallel to the also American vehicle class of muscle cars.

The firm AUDIOVOX from Pulheim, whose brand Magnat is inextricably linked with German sound technology, has optimized this Camaro visibly and audibly and turned into an impressive show car. To increase the engine performance a performance kit by the firm Wimmer racing engineering has been utilized. Due to a software customization, an optimization of the air induction and a stainless steel exhaust system the Magnat Camaro achieves now a performance of 332 kW or 451 hp and has a maximum torque of 596 Nm (at 4,300 r / min). The maximum speed after this power increase is 274 km/h.

To get this performance onto the street, the Magnat Camaro rolls on a grandiose wheel-tire combination by Oxigin in 10x22 inches all around with Yokohama Advan Sport tires in 265/30ZR22 at the front and 295/25ZR22 at the rear axle. The height adjustable KW coilover suspension, Variant 1, combines a perfect sporty handling with everyday practicality.
The fitted as standard, but very spartan interior has been exclusively equipped with high quality leather and Alcantara by Magnat. The diamond pattern of the seats underlines the sportive character and upgrades the interior clearly.

The new Audiovox VME 9520NAV, with its extensive equipment, such as navigation, Bluetooth hands-free system, iPod / iPhone control, DVD and linkage to the steering wheel remote control, handles the powerful Magnat 4400Watt system. 2-way component front system, coaxial rear system, 2x 30cm subwoofer and digital amplifiers transform the interior into a concert hall. The firmly installed Ipod serves as a database of all music requests. Whether it is rock, pop or classical, any style of music is played back impressively. The illuminated show installation in the trunk completes this great project impressively.
