Reportedly, the 2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 is coming, and it will get a new V6 mild engine. In general, this is excellent news, and it seems that the V8 that powers the current model may be replaced. If you didn’t know, the current model uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that produces 650 horses and 650 lb-ft.
However, details are still scarce surrounding the upcoming Camaro, but we know how this model will look like thanks to a new batch of spy images. The prototype of this sporty model is caught testing, and it looks much more aggressive than we thought.
2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Design
There are only a couple of exterior changes to the 2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 lineup. From available information, the new model will use the same platform as the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing. GM’s Alpha platform is very popular and is very sturdy.
As mentioned, the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 had been spied a few days ago, riding on the truck. As we notice, the newcomer will use a GM’s MagneRide suspension tech and identical Brembo carbon-ceramic brake rotors as the Blackwing model. Also, the rear spoiler is present for maximum aerodynamics as the new exhaust system. Interestingly, the upcoming car also comes with a new black wheels and the same taillights as the base model.
Cabin Upgrades
Every 2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 is well equipped out of the box, offering more standard features than any of its competitors. This model looks stylish, sporty and includes power-adjustable front seats with heating and ventilation. Also, a heated steering wheel and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard as well. Camaro comfortably cabin can place two humans, and it offers a touchscreen infotainment system that is very easy to use.
Besides, the base model also includes a Wi-Fi hotspot and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The ZL1 is the most favorite trim that features nearly everything available on normal Camaros. This model comes with a Bose audio system, wireless phone charging, and a head-up display.
2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Will Get a New Engine
The rumor mill is buzzing that the forthcoming 2023 Chevy Camaro ZL1 will come with a new engine. Probably the current supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that produces 650 horses and 650 lb-ft will be replaced with either turbocharged four-cylinder or V6 mild engine options.
Also, the all-electric Camaro is likely but not before 2024. We expect the new V6 engine to come with either six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic.
Release Date and Price
At the beginning of the last month, Chevrolet made a big announcement regarding the new 2023 Camaro ZL1 model. It seems that some drastic changes could happen, especially in the engine department. The spy photos are available, and the upcoming model is wearing a more attractive design than the current model.
Several renderings have also popped up, and we must admit, the Camaro is more than ready to compete against the famous Corvette. We should expect this model to debut sometime next year as the 2023 model. Price for the current ZL1 starts little less than $66,000, and many believe that some slight jump will happen with a release of the new one.
