Camaro Convertible Coming to Australia
Queensland based Performax International, which launched the world's first right-hand drive version of the Camaro coupe last February, says it is planning to import a convertible as soon as possible for prototype conversion to RHD and already has received enquiries from potential buyers. The drop-top Camaro features a traditional fabric-folding roof, but mechanically is identical to the fifth-generation coupe. It will be available here in range topping 2SS specification, featuring General Motors' LS3 aluminium V8 engine producing 318kW, six-speed manual transmission, 20-inch wheels with Pirelli P Zero tyres, Brembo high-performance brakes, leather seating, Boston Acoustic audio system and many other comfort and safety features.
A six-speed automatic version with LS99 engine and active fuel management also will be available. Retail prices for the RHD convertible won't be set until it is ready for sale.
