2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Convertible
Chevrolet announced the
brand's most-powerful
convertible ever - the 2013
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Convertible - will debut at
the 2011 Los Angeles Auto
Show. When it goes on sale
in late 2012, it will deliver
more performance and
technology than many
exotic cars and ultra-luxury
convertibles.

"The 2013 Chevrolet
Camaro ZL1 Convertible
will be one of the most
powerful and most capable,
convertibles available at
any price," said Al
Oppenheiser, Camaro chief
engineer. "This is a car that
is guaranteed to put a smile
on your face every time
you drop the top - or hit the
gas."

Like the coupe, the 2013
Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Convertible features a
supercharged 6.2L "LSA"
engine, SAE-rated at 580
horsepower (432 kW) and
556 lb.-ft. of torque (754
Nm). That's enough to
exceed the output of 2+2
convertibles of many
performance icons,
including:
•2012 Aston Martin DB9 Volante -
470 hp / 443 lb.-ft.

•2012 Mercedes SL63 AMG -
518 hp / 465 lb.-ft.

•2011 Porsche 911 Turbo S -
530 hp / 516 lb.-ft.

•2011 Ford Shelby GT500 -
550 hp / 510 lb.-ft.
