2024 Chevrolet Camaro SS Collector’s Edition

Chevrolet Commemorates Panther Code Name with Sixth-Generation Camaro Final Collector's Edition

From the moment it was introduced in 2016, the iconic sixth generation Camaro established itself as the leaner, meaner generation; culminating with the ZL1 1LE track athlete. Throughout the generation, Camaro featured a wide variety of special editions that ranged from charismatic with the 50 th Anniversary and Wild Cherry Design Package to edgy with the Shock and Steel and Redline Edition. As the Gen Six Camaro retires at the conclusion of the 2024 model year, Chevrolet is celebrating the car’s legacy of agility and style by offering a final special Collector’s Edition on the LT/RS, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims in North America. The 2024 Camaro Collector’s Edition resurfaces ties that date back to the development of the first-generation Camaro. Panther, the original code name for the program that became Camaro in the 1960s, provided inspiration for the Chevrolet Performance Design Studio’s efforts to cement the sixth generation of the car in history. “We found it fitting for this Collector’s Edition Camaro to officially recognize the significance of the original code name and share it with Camaro enthusiasts,” said Rich Scheer, design director, Chevrolet Performance. “Of course, the name ‘Panther’ influenced the colors used, Panther Black Metallic for SS and Panther Matte Black for ZL1.” The Collector’s Edition equips LT/RS, LT1 and SS trims with a new Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat paint, Satin Black accent stripes, 20-inch Satin Black or optional Polished Forged Wheels, the front splitter from the 1LE package and coupes receive the rear spoiler from the ZL1 package. The 650 horsepower LT4-powered ZL1 Collector’s Edition, limited to 350 units, will feature a Panther Black Matte exterior color – the first matte paint offered on Camaro from the factory. The ZL1 will also feature the front splitter from the ZL1 1LE, and the rear wing from ZL1 1LE on coupes. The Black Metallic ZL1 stripe, red brake calipers and black lug nuts complete the exterior look. On the inside, all 350 Collector’s Edition ZL1 vehicles receive a serialized steering wheel badge representing where that vehicle was built in sequence. Across all builds, Camaro Collector’s Editions receive unique front fender script badging that integrates a panther into the “R,” and a panther on the steering wheel badge. These Camaro builds also feature special floor mats with a laser-etched aluminum Collector’s Edition logo and unique black interior treatments. Those who purchase a Camaro Collector’s Edition will receive a welcome kit which contains two posters commemorating the Camaro generations and the Collector’s Edition. Camaro ZL1 Collector’s Edition owners will also receive a bespoke Canfield Sport 45mm watch from Shinola commemorating the Collector’s Edition, with an inscribed serial number that matches the number on their vehicle’s steering wheel badge. Thoughtfully crafted to carry the same ebonized presence as the 2024 Camaro Collector’s Edition, this wearable keepsake hosts Camaro and panther motifs, from the panther engraved watch band to the Camaro logo housed on the watch face. “Shinola is proud to share a legacy for quality, craftsmanship and performance with the Camaro nameplate, and we cherish the Detroit heritage that both Shinola and Chevrolet have,” Shinola CEO Awenate Cobbina said. Additional 2024 updates The 2024 Chevrolet Camaro will be available in coupe and convertible on LT, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims, with 1LE remaining an available option on SS and ZL1. Power for 2024 Camaro builds will come from the 3.6L V-6, 6.2L LT1 V-8 and the supercharged 6.2L LT4 V-8. New exterior colors Riptide Blue and Nitro Metallic Yellow can be selected across all trims. Chevrolet dealers will begin accepting orders for the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro on June 15, with a starting MSRP of $32,495 for the LT coupe and $38,495 for the LT convertible.

Forza Motorsport

Cadillac V-Series.R and Corvette E-Ray Race Into Forza Motorsport

Chance for enthusiasts to “get behind the wheel” of hybrid Cadillac V-Series.R race car and electrified AWD Corvette E-Ray During this month's Xbox Games Showcase, Turn 10 Studios unveiled gameplay showing the 2023 No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R race car and 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray, featured on the cover of the new “ Forza Motorsport,” releasing on October 10, 2023. “Forza Motorsport,” the latest title in the Forza series that began in 2005, will be available globally on Xbox Series X|S, Windows 10 and 11 PCs via the Microsoft Store and Steam, and Xbox Game Pass for PC and console. “All of us at Turn 10 Studios are excited for players to experience the generational leap in fidelity, immersion and realism of ‘Forza Motorsport,’ the most technically advanced and authentic racing game we’ve ever made,” said Chris Esaki, Creative Director of Forza Motorsport at Turn 10 Studios. “We’re equally proud of our relationship with General Motors and can’t wait for fans to experience the stunning 2023 No.01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R and 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray in-game when ‘Forza Motorsport’ launches on October 10.” Rear 3/4 view of a 2023 Cadillac V-Series.R and a 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray driving side-by-side on a track in Forza Motorsport. To secure this prominent placement on the new title, Cadillac and Chevrolet teams provided access to renderings and information about the Cadillac V-Series.R race car and Corvette E-Ray approximately a year prior to each car’s public debut. Once the vehicles were selected for the cover, still months prior to their respective reveals, Turn 10 Studios was invited to collect detailed reference photography of the cars, record real audio from development vehicles and secure vehicle performance data from engineers. This work speaks to the level of detail Turn 10 Studios provides players in both the audio-visual spectacle of racing and the simulation of vehicle capabilities on the 20 photorealistic tracks featured in the game. This combination of strengths is attractive to Cadillac and Chevrolet because “Forza Motorsport” allows prospective and existing customers to experience vehicles and formulate opinions about them, potentially impacting purchase decisions and brand affinity. Cadillac V-Series The Cadillac V-Series.R — Cadillac’s third-generation prototype race car, continues Cadillac Racing’s heritage of winning on the racetrack, including victories at Sebring and Laguna Seca this year. It was co-developed by Cadillac Racing, Cadillac Design and Dallara, and incorporates distinctive Cadillac design elements, such as vertical lighting and floating blades. “This is a big year for Cadillac Racing and Cadillac’s V-Series performance vehicles. We’re celebrating 20 years of V-Series and are fresh off a return to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the world’s greatest endurance races,” said Meagan Quinn, Cadillac V-Series marketing manager. “We’re excited for our fans to race and experience the Cadillac V-Series.R themselves, and for performance enthusiasts around the world to experience Cadillac V-Series.” The Cadillac V-Series.R will only ever be driven by a select few of the world’s best racing drivers. Putting the race car in “Forza Motorsport” allows a truly global audience to get a taste of that experience on the very same tracks where the car competes for victories in real life. Corvette E-Ray The 2024 Corvette E-Ray, the quickest Corvette in history and the first Corvette to feature both electrification and all-wheel drive capability, will just be getting into the hands of U.S. customers when “Forza Motorsport” is released. “We are excited to see the first customer impressions of Corvette E-Ray both in real life and through ‘Forza Motorsport’ being shared at the same time,” said Harlan Charles, product marketing manager, Chevrolet Corvette. “While Corvette will always be America’s sports car, ‘Forza Motorsport’ is one way we continue to elevate awareness of what Corvette offers on the world stage.” From customer anecdotes to the Chevrolet vehicle development team’s first-hand experience, our product teams know “Forza Motorsport” is used as a tool for learning track layouts and vehicle capabilities. A long history with the Forza franchise “Forza Motorsport” showcases legendary racing and street-performance vehicles on the most renowned race circuits across the world. GM’s collaboration with Turn 10 Studios puts a spotlight on two of the company’s most capable track vehicles — the Cadillac V-Series.R and the Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray. Cadillac and Chevrolet vehicles have been present in the Forza franchise since the original “Forza Motorsport” made its debut in 2005, with representation in every Motorsport and Horizon title since inception.

First Retail Production 2024 Corvette E-Ray Raises $1.1 Million for DonorsChoose at Barrett-Jackson

The first ever, electrified 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray raised $1.1 million for education nonprofit DonorsChoose at the Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach Auction on April 15. Corvette Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter was on hand to generate excitement and encourage bids as the E-Ray crossed the block Saturday afternoon. Founded in 2000 with the goal of making it easy for anyone to provide resources to teachers, DonorsChoose has now fulfilled more than two and a half million classroom projects by connecting donors directly with requests from educators. Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group and owner of 14-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports, cast the winning bid of $1.1 million. One hundred percent of this sale price will assist DonorsChoose in continuing to meet the needs of public schools in low-income communities. Front 3/4 view of 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray in Riptide Blue crossing the auction block at the 2023 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. “General Motors and Chevrolet are proud to join DonorsChoose on its mission of combatting inequality in school funding by providing underserved communities with the resources needed for a quality education,” said Steve Majoros, chief marketing officer, Chevrolet. “The Corvette E-Ray is a special product for Chevrolet, and we are honored that the proceeds from the sale of VIN 001 will aid this organization in supporting students and teachers around the nation.” E-Ray marks an inflection point in the model’s 70-year history, expanding what Corvette can deliver.

2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD ZR2

First-Ever Chevrolet Silverado HD ZR2 Debuts to Tow, Haul and Tackle the Trails

Race-proven off-road technologies include DSSV dampers, a factory lift and more to create Chevy’s flagship heavy-duty off-road pickup HD ZR2 builds upon Silverado HD’s already impressive roster of HD truck features to accomplish the toughest work with smart trailering tech and formidable powertrains A ZR2 family complete: HD ZR2 creates trio of flagship, off-road performance pickups Silverado HD ZR2 Bison surprises with ultimate off-road capability, in collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles The off-road capability synonymous with Chevrolet’s ZR2 badge debuts for the Silverado HD with the introduction of the 2024 Silverado HD ZR2 – the brand’s flagship heavy-duty off-roader. Elevating the Silverado HD’s off-road credentials to even further heights, the 2024 Silverado HD ZR2 Bison debuts as part of the Chevy trucks family as well. Chevrolet will soon offer a trio of flagship, off-road performance pickup trucks for anyone ready to explore the trails in Colorado ZR2, Silverado 1500 ZR2 and the first-ever Silverado HD ZR2. The 2024 Silverado HD ZR2 shown from a front 3/4 angle. Both the HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison bring race-proven technologies and enhanced off-road capability to the refreshed 2024 Silverado HD lineup, with the specialized ZR2 Bison featuring unique equipment from premium off-road aftermarket manufacturer American Expedition Vehicles, for those seeking the ultimate capability in their adventures. “The all-new Silverado HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison provide the off-road performance our customers have come to expect from a ZR2, with the towing and payload capabilities our HD customers demand,” said Michael MacPhee, director of Chevrolet Trucks Marketing. “They also expand the Silverado HD lineup, offering more choices for customers to find the perfect truck for work and off-road adventure.” Offered exclusively in the 2500 Crew Cab configuration — with the standard 6.6L gasoline engine or available 6.6L Duramax Turbo-Diesel — the Silverado HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison leverage Chevrolet’s off-road racing success with a defined set of upgrades built from proven off-road prowess. Whether that’s crawling trails, tackling tough terrain or towing adventure toys on the weekend, the Silverado HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison can handle it all. The Silverado HD ZR2 does this without sacrificing on-road comfort or heavy-duty truck capability, embracing the same hallmarks that make the Silverado 1500 ZR2 a winning combination. As for capability, the max payload for the Silverado HD ZR2 is 3,397 pounds (gas engine), while the max trailering rating is an impressive 18,500 pounds, when equipped with the available Duramax Turbo-Diesel to ensure owners don’t have to leave behind any part of their adventure – big or small – when hitting the trail. “The Silverado HD ZR2 is for those who want it all: For when you need to haul equipment to the jobsite during the week, then the camper and family off the beaten path on the weekend,” said Sahar Nasif, program engineering manager, Silverado HD ZR2. “It’s for those who want their tow rig to be just as cool as the toys it’s hauling.” The HD ZR2 is instantly recognizable with the ZR2 family’s front grille, which represents the expressive styling the ZR2 family of trucks values. Unique wheel opening moldings featuring integrated mud guards, ZR2 badging on the grille bar and a higher stance further strengthen HD ZR2’s image. Both trucks also wear the “flow-tie” emblem. The suspension is raised approximately 1.5 inches (38 mm), front and rear, compared to other Silverado HD 4WD models. Its off-road-capable features and content also include: Specific front upper and lower control arms and specific steering knuckles Multimatic DSSV Dampers Larger steel transfer case skid plate and front aluminum skid plate Rear e-locker 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Territory MT tires mounted on 18 x 9-inch aluminum wheels. HD ZR2 also includes a new Off-Road Mode, which incorporates learnings from the Colorado ZR2 and Silverado 1500 ZR2. When engaged, it adjusts various vehicle calibrations, such as the anti-lock brakes, traction control and stability control, to optimize their performance for off-road driving. In addition, Off-Road Mode alters throttle progression and transmission shifts, and the locking rear axle does not have a speed limitation. HD ZR2 Bison: AEV collaboration raises the off-road bar The HD ZR2 Bison was developed in collaboration with AEV to provide a factory package for the most avid off-roaders. It builds on the HD ZR2’s standard features, adding: Exclusive gloss black, 18-inch AEV wheels Distinctive cut high-approach, stamped-steel front bumper with integrated recovery points and winch provisions Unique stamped-steel cut rear bumper with recovery points Tough, stamped steel underbody skid plates for the front of the vehicle, steering rack, exhaust and transfer case Bison models also receive unique exterior badging and other identifying cues, including the AEV logo on the front-seat head restraints. Additionally, both the HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison benefit from the functional features shared across the Silverado HD range, including the DuraBed cargo box that optimizes every square inch for maximum cargo capability, the corner step rear bumper, BedSteps, power tailgate, a 120-volt power outlet, available six-position Multi-Flex tailgate and more. IN FOCUS: Race-Proven Multimatic DSSV dampers The Silverado HD ZR2’s racing-derived Multimatic spool-valve dampers are designed to blend maximum off-road capability with on-road comfort. Pioneered on the Colorado ZR2 racing program and torture-tested with the help of Chad Hall Racing in the Best in The Desert off-road racing series, their unique spool-valve design (with three separate spools), compared to conventional shim-type dampers, offers unlimited tuning variability to control damping. That translates into more precise damping performance, for a greater feeling of control on and off the road. Redesigned interior with ZR2 flair The HD ZR2 and ZR2 Bison also feature the 2024 Silverado HD lineup’s redesigned interior. Built for excellent work-ready functionality and next-level technology integration, the cabin boasts features HD truck buyers expect with a blend of premium materials and off-road prowess, as found in the Silverado 1500 ZR2. The interior’s dark trim accents complement the Jet Black and Graystone leather-appointed surfaces. Care also went into selecting materials that are simple to wipe clean after a day in the dirt. The instrument panel houses a best-in-class 13.4-inch-diagonal infotainment screen and expansive 12.3-inch-diagonal configurable driver information center that become the focal points of the driver’s command center. The infotainment screen and other controls are also canted toward the driver, strengthening the command center perspective. Smart, off-road technology includes an available 15-inch Head-Up Display with an off-road inclinometer and HD Surround Vision for the Silverado HD ZR2 and HD ZR2 Bison. A redesigned wireless phone charger area as well as a flow-under console, which offers the spaciousness of a bench seat while retaining the functionality of a center console, round out HD ZR2’s efficient use of interior space.

Heavy Hauling Done Right

Chevrolet continues to be the leader in heavy hauling necessary for busines and recreation. This story originally appeared in the Chevrolet's online magazine, New Roads. Small business owner Patrick Carl puts great care into storing and transporting people’s most treasured belongings. His heavy-duty Silverado HD makes it all possible. People put a lot of faith in Patrick Carl. They trust him to transport and store their treasured possessions, from precious family portraits and heirlooms to the everyday items that make a house a home. “I try to handle everybody’s belongings like I want mine taken care of,” says Carl, who relies on his 2020 Silverado 3500 HD LT pickup truck to do the work. Carl, 40, owns Create Space Storage near Kalamazoo, Michigan. He delivers high-end portable storage vaults directly to homes and businesses. When those containers are packed, he transports them wherever clients need them to be. Customers use the vaults to move their belongings to new homes and for temporary storage, such as during renovations. For those who need an off-site or long-term storage solution, containers are stashed in Carl’s climate-controlled warehouse. “It’s kind of like valet self-storage,” he explains. The Details Matter SILVERADO 3500 HD 6.6L AVAILABLE DURAMAX ® TURBO-DIESEL V8 ENGINE 445/910 AVAILABLE HP/LB.-FT. OF TORQUE † 20,000 LB. MAX CONVENTIONAL TOWING † Explore Silverado HD Build and Price Full containers are heavy. A load can top out at 12,000 pounds when you add the weight of the 30-foot-long trailer and delivery equipment, handled well by his truck’s towing capacity. “It’s heavy hauling,” Carl says, “but the pulling is just as smooth as can be” with the available Duramax ® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine, which generates a confidence-instilling 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. † Driving down the road, I don’t even realize I’ve got the trailer on the back,” he says — and he’s delivered full storage containers as far as 200 miles away. “When we go long distances, the comfort in the cab is very nice.” Carl particularly enjoys the available heated driver and front passenger seats and heated steering wheel, which offer quick warmth after loading and unloading in cold Michigan winters. And finding customer locations is a breeze with Apple CarPlay ® compatibility. † “Having the navigation right on the screen is helpful,” Carl says.Previous Slide Some companies will use a small semi-truck to haul large storage containers. “I went with the Chevy truck because, at the end of the day, I can use it personally, too,” Carl says. “I can unhook from the trailer and take it to go play soccer, or golf, or mountain biking, or whatever I want to do after work.” On weekends, it’s not uncommon to find him loading up the truck bed with materials for a home landscaping project or towing a boat to nearby Gull Lake with his wife, Jenica, and young son, Paxton. The spacious cab has plenty of room for friends and family. The rear bench seat accommodates Paxton’s car seat, their dog Maya, and even the large toolbox Carl carries for work.Previous Slide RESTORING THE PAST: Patrick Carl’s 1960 Chevrolet C60 Viking work truck in the process of restoration. When he completes the renovation, he plans to show it at nearby cruise-ins for vintage automobiles. Reliability, then and now And, it’s a Chevy. Carl grew up driving Chevrolets and is restoring a 1960 Chevrolet C60 Viking work truck, which he plans to show at vintage car cruise-ins at the nearby Gilmore Car Museum. He even restored a historic lumber building to serve as his warehouse. For Carl, his Silverado HD is the right mix of modern technology and trusted heritage. “I don’t lose sleep wondering if my equipment is going to break down on me,” he says. Dependability is crucial when customers suffer a catastrophic event like a flood and need immediate, secure storage for their belongings. Being there when it counts has helped Create Space Storage grow from 24 containers in 2019 to a 110-container operation today. Carl also delivers rugged containers for construction sites and mobile offices. To keep up with demand, he recently bought a 2022 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ diesel pickup to expand his fleet. “I do everything I can to make my clients happy,” Carl says, and doing that hinges on his Chevy truck. “I heavily rely on it.”
