But this show car moves the badge to the upper grille, like on the 2018 model, and paints the center bar the same color as the rest of the body. The result is something that looks like the much more conservative four-cylinder and V6 Camaros, and to the 2019's detractors it's a major improvement for the SS. It blends with the rest of the generally unchanged body, and looks sleeker than the full, flat face of the 2019 SS model.The question is, will Chevy make this less controversial fascia available to the public? The company says it's just a concept design, but it's possible Chevy will be gauging the public's reaction to decide whether to introduce it. If any stylists, executives or other GM employees are reading (and care about our opinion), we'll cast our vote in favor of the show car's face.<doc-sep>Chevrolet The refreshed 2019 Chevrolet Camaro is going to this year's Speciality Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. A Camaro SS coupe, drenched in a new Shock Yellow paint color, will head to the Las Vegas event to highlight a range of new accessories that customers can buy directly through their Chevy dealers. Perhaps the most interesting thing about the car, though, is that it features what Chevrolet describes as, "concept front-end styling," with the bowtie emblem relocated from the bumper beam to the upper grille. The center beam itself is now painted body-color, rather than black. It's safe to say that the look of the 2019 Camaro was somewhat… polarizing. This version, at least in concept form on this SS coupe, suggests Chevrolet listened to feedback about the new design and is considering revising the car's look. The new range of accessories that will be offered for the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro include Recaro seats, emissions-legal cold-air intake kits, a Brembo six-piston front brake kit, suspension upgrade parts from the racy 1LE models and styling touches like a black rear wing, carbon-fiber fuel-filler door and black Camaro badges. The Shock Yellow paint will be available to order on the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro starting early next year. At its SEMA booth, Chevrolet also plans to show off a 2019 Camaro LT convertible wearing a new Satin Steel Gray Metallic paint and dressed up in concept red accent trim pieces.<doc-sep>Speciality Vehicle Engineering Can you ever really have enough horsepower? For people who answer in the negative, meet the 2019 Yenko/SC Stage II Camaro. Specialty Vehicle Engineering, the same folks who previously brought us a 1,000-hp Corvette, announced today that the new extreme-performance Camaro it's building will be limited to just 25 copies. The Stage II car is based on the 2019 version of the production Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, meaning the car is already equipped with a whole host of handling, braking and aerodynamic upgrades from the factory. Then the Specialty Vehicle Engineering team goes to work under the hood, rebuilding the factory 6.2-liter V8 so it displaces 6.8 liters, then supercharging it and adding a laundry list of supporting upgrades. The result: a cool 1,000 hp and 875 pound-feet of torque. That's a pretty solid improvement over the factory ratings of 455 hp and 455 lb-ft. Specialty Vehicle Engineering On the outside of the car, the Stage II kit also brings new 20-inch wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires, a new carbon-fiber hood, a new rear wing and various badges. Buyers can pick from 10 different body colors and nine different colors for the contrasting stripe decals. Inside, the Camaro scores new embroidered floor mats, special Yenko/SC door-sill plates and a plaque noting the car's serial number in the 25-car production run. Of course, there's also a Stage I version of this package. In that case, the engine upgrades only bring out 835 horsepower. That version, too, will be limited to just 25 examples. Neither model comes cheap. For starters, you need to purchase a Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE before Specialty Vehicle Engineering begins the transformation. The Stage I upgrade will then cost another $46,995 before options while the Stage II, 1,000-hp version is $66,995. Then again, the cars' exclusivity and huge power outputs may make the sticker price worth it for a lot of buyers.<doc-sep>Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE) has released its latest creation, the 2019 Yenko/SC Supercharged Camaro with a whiplash-inducing 1,000 horsepower in Stage II trim. The Stage II product is built upon a new Camaro 1SS or 2SS with the 1LE track package to take advantage of the car's magnetic ride control, electronic rear differential, and performance traction management software offered by General Motors. The Yenko package is ordered through your Chevrolet dealership and the Stage II add-ons will be limited to 25 units. The vehicle was unveiled Wednesday morning and, according to a company spokesperson, several dealerships have already bought into the package. Propelling the Yenko Camaro is a supercharged 6.8-liter version of the LT-1 engine found in the standard Camaro SS. The Stage II package adds a 20 percent larger supercharger with 25 percent more boost, high-flow catalytic converters, a higher capacity fuel system, a more aggressive tune, and, of course, special badging on the blower that reads "1000HP Supercharged." It also features a custom stainless steel exhaust system that retains dual-mode functionality. A less powerful Stage I setup is also available with only 835 horsepower and can be built upon on any of the Camaro SS trims. It uses the same 6.8L V8 with CNC ported LT-4 cylinder heads, a forged steel crankshaft, and forged aluminum pistons as well as an upgraded fuel system and injectors. The base model also comes with a high output supercharger, custom tune, and special badging. There is a heavy duty transmission available for Stage I models equipped with GM's eight-speed automatic.<doc-sep>
Just a few weeks ahead of the 2018 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Chevrolet today announced a new color offering for its refreshed 2019 facelifted Camaro. "Shock" (most closely resembling highlighter yellow), is an unapologetic statement for those looking to make their Camaro stand out from the crowd… and perhaps glow in the dark a bit. This is the sixth addition to 2019 Camaro’s color palette, which also includes Crush, Riverside Blue Metallic, Shadow Grey Metallic, and Satin Steel Grey Metallic. Also new to help make your Camaro unique is an expanded range of accessories. The extended portfolio of add-ons now includes a second-generation Chevrolet ground effects appearance package, a black wing spoiler, a fuel door with carbon fiber accents, black Camaro fender badges, an emissions-compliant cold-air intake, Recaro seats, Brembo front brakes, and 1LE suspension components. The cold-air intake is available in all fifty states – yes, that means you too, California. Chevy’s expanded line of accessories and performance parts gives Camaro buyers the chance to further-customize their car to a more refined level. This plays directly to the SEMA Show’s inherent platform for vehicle customization, where the concept will make its debut. Also on Display at Chevrolet’s SEMA booth will be a Satin Steel Grey Metallic Camaro LT convertible, featuring concept red accents and additional accessories, and a vintage build with Chevy's new crate engine. "There’s a fresh look for the 2019 Camaro, which is restyled, reinvigorated and offers more choices and new technologies," said Steve Majoros, director of Chevrolet Car and Crossover Marketing. "It’s the perfect canvas for personalization, and the new Shock color and available accessories demonstrate only some of the possibilities customers have to make the Camaro entirely theirs." The new looks comes with the same engine options, though. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 3.6-liter V6, and 6.2-liter V8 all carry over. The most-powerful option – the Camaro SS – produces 455 horsepower (339 kilowatts). Customers can choose to install the parts themselves with home delivery, or have their local dealer do everything from start to finish. Ordering is now live via Chevy’s accessories website.
