GM officially confirmed that the Chevrolet Camaro Convertible will be launched in March 2011.
In an interview with Automotive News, GM spokesman Terry Rhadigan has said that production of the highly anticipated Camaro Convertible is scheduled to start in the first quarter of 2011. He went on to concede that this will be a few months later than the originally planned late 2010 launch. "We always thought it would be one year after the coupe," he said. "Instead we are going two."
But there is some bad news that GM’s plans for a high-performance Camaro Z28 had been canceled. The Z28, GM was planning to add the 550hp (410kW) 6.2L V8 engine from the Cadillac CTS-V to the Camaro’s engine bay in an effort to destroy any chances of the Dodge Challenger SRT8 and Shelby Mustang GT claiming the title of ‘modern-day muscle car king’. Sadly, the Z28’s expected $50 million development price tag, impending 35.5mpg CAFE implications, and niche status meant it was virtually dead from the start.
