Chevrolet · introduced 2015
Among the 277 Chevrolet entries in the MotorJury library, the Chevrolet Camaro holds its own page in a catalogue built to record every car ever made, from series production to one-off concepts. The record places its introduction in 2015. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.
To read the Chevrolet Camaro properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Ford Ford Escort, the Ferrari Ferrari 488, the Infiniti Infiniti Q50 — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.
On paper, the Chevrolet Camaro reads like this: the record lists its engine as 2.0 L GM Ecotec engine#LTG / LTG Ecotec turbocharged / turbo Straight-four engine / I4 (LS, LT) / 3.6 L GM High Feature engine#LGX / LGX V6 (LT) / 6.2 L General Moto; kerb weight is recorded at 3339 lb 2.0 (LT) / 3435 lb 3.6 (LT) / 3461 lb 2.0 (RS) / 3618 lb (LT1) / 3685 lb (SS) / 3760 lb (SS; automatic) / 3880 lb (ZL1) / 3820 lb (ZL1 1LE); drive goes through 6-speed Tremec TR-3160 transmission / TR-3160 manual (LS, LT) / 6-speed Tremec TR-6060 transmission / TR-6060 manual (LT1, SS, ZL1) / 8-speed GM 8L transmission#8L45 / 8L45 automat; the layout is Front-engine, rear-wheel drive. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.
Within Chevrolet's own catalogue the Chevrolet Camaro sits alongside the Chevrolet Adra, the Chevrolet C-10, the Chevrolet Corsa, the Chevrolet Cruze. The record names the Chevrolet Camaro (fifth generation) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to Hwasup Lee (2012) / John Mack. Assembly is recorded at United States: Lansing, Michigan (Lansing Grand River Assembly).
This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.
A specification sheet is only half a car's story. The other half — what breaks, what it costs to keep, which years to avoid — lives in MotorJury's ownership database, computed nightly from federal complaint and recall records and EPA economy data. Where the Chevrolet Camaro was sold in the United States, its model years carry full ownership verdicts there.
Specifications come from the Wikipedia infobox for this model (CC BY-SA) and the open Wikidata record, and are shown only where a source actually carries them — nothing here is estimated. Figures are manufacturer specifications, not measured results.
