The Chevrolet Camaro Collectors Edition is a North American exclusive
Okay, so a while ago, we have already established that the popular Chevrolet Camaro would cease production come 2024 and that we will receive a special edition version, which we did not know much about up until recently. Now the full details of the car have been revealed, let’s take a look at it.
Since its release in 2016, the sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro established itself as a track athlete, with the sixth generation Camaro also featuring a wide variety of special editions that ranged from charismatic with the 50th Anniversary and Wild Cherry Design Package to edgy with the Shock and Steel and Redline Edition.
Moreover, as the Sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro approaches its curtain call, Chevrolet is celebrating the car’s extensive legacy of agility and style by offering a final special Collector’s Edition of the LT/RS, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims in North America as a sendoff.
Chevrolet design director, Rich Scheer, said, “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. Of course, the name ‘Panther’ influenced the colors used, Panther Black Metallic for SS and Panther Matte Black for ZL1.”
The Chevrolet Camaro Collector’s Edition also 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.
On top of that, the 650 horsepower LT4-powered ZL1 Collector’s Edition of the Chevrolet Camaro, limited to only 350 units, will feature a Panther Black Matte exterior color, a first for the 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 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 cars will receive a serialized steering wheel badge representing where that vehicle was built in sequence.
All Chevrolet Camaro Collector’s Editions will also sport a 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.
Finally, the Chevrolet 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.
So what do you guys think of the Chevrolet Camaro Collector’s Edition? Is it a fitting swan song to the legacy of the Camaro and are you sad to see the car go? I sure am.
