2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE
2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE Navigation
NÜRBURGRING-CONQUERING CAMARO IS THE MOST TRACK-CAPABLE EVER
A 2018 Camaro ZL1 1LE conquered the Nürburgring's 12.9-mile (20.8 km), 154-turn Nordschleife ('north loop') in only 7:16.04 — 13.56 seconds quicker than the Camaro ZL1 with a 10-speed automatic that Chevrolet tested in 2016. The car that made the record run is on display this week at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.
The Camaro ZL1 1LE takes Chevrolet's track-focused 1LE legacy to an unprecedented level, with racing-based adjustable suspension components that include Multimatic DSSV® (Dynamic Suspension Spool Valve) front and rear dampers, unique aero technologies and exclusive Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar 3R summer-only tires, in an extreme track performance package powered by the LT4 supercharged V-8 engine. It is on sale now.
