Segment: Coupe Cabrio
Production years: 2011, 2012, 2013
After some delays due to the global economic crisis, Chevrolet finally decided to launch the Camaro Convertible in January 2011. It was winter, but the orders quickly pushed the delivery time to spring.
The Camaro Convertible concept was shown as a concept-car in 2007, but by the time the project was finished, the financial crash hit hard the automotive industry and GM barely escaped from bankruptcy. It suffered, but remained standing up. In 2010, the Camaro Convertible project was brought back to light. Final touches and calculations were made and the assembly line was ready to start production. A small pre-series was made in December 2010.
It is hard to make a convertible to look better than the coupe version. Somehow, the GM designers succeed it and made it happened. While the front side and the beltline remained the same with those found on the coupe version, the fixed roof was replaced by a canvas top. It was completely retractable behind the rear seats, under a cover. The side rear windows were smaller, but they were retractable. The absence of a B-pillar was a good visual improvement.
Inside, there was a 2+2 configuration, and there was enough legroom for the rear passengers. The rest of the car interior and features were similar to the coupe version, including the front bucket-seats.
The Camaro Convertible was available in the LT and SS trims. The base model for the coupe version, the LS with the V6 was not available.
