Electric Technology Car News: In an era dominated by high-priced sports cars, Camaro insists on low prices

There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Similarly, there are a thousand needs for cars in the hearts of a thousand people, some focus on quality enjoyment, some pursue speed and passion, or some are obsessed with the feelings in their hearts. For the post-80s generation who are over 30 years old, the cartoon "Transformers" has always accompanied the growth of a generation, and owning a car has become an unattainable dream in childhood.

With the popularity of the movie version of "Transformers", the role of Bumblebee played by Camaro instantly overlaps with childhood dreams. Just think about how exciting it would be to own a Dream Car of your own. Today, I will take you to learn about the latest Chevrolet Camaro RS. The current official reference price of this car is 399,000 yuan.

The appearance has always been the highlight of Camaro. The new generation Camaro is still sharp and fierce. The blue painted Bumblebee also has a high rate of turning heads on the road. The front design is quite flat, which also makes Camaro have an extremely aggressive front face. The low beam is a xenon light source, the high beam is a halogen light source, and it is equipped with a light strip LED daytime running light.

The length, width and height of this car are 4786mm*1897mm*1356mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2811mm, which is one size smaller than the old model. The four-piston front brake from Brembo not only makes the wheel rim look fuller, but also has better braking performance than ordinary brakes.

In terms of interior, the overall shape of Camaro's cockpit is simple, with a strong fighting atmosphere, and the D-shaped flat-bottom steering wheel is also consistent with its sports car positioning. The instrument panel is no longer the old rectangular, the tachometer and speedometer look more intuitive, and the color driving computer screen in the middle can display a lot of information. In addition to the conventional oil and water temperature gauges, it also provides oil and turbine pressure gauges. In the menu, you can also find the current g value, engine oil temperature, transmission oil temperature and other data, which can save the cost of installing instruments later.

The 2017 Camaro RS is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which is matched with GM's own 8AT gearbox. I believe everyone is familiar with this power system. Yes, it is exactly the same as the one on the current ATS-L, but the engine tuning is slightly different. The maximum power of the Camaro's 2.0T engine is 275 horsepower/5500rpm and the peak torque is 400 Nm/3000-4000rpm, while the maximum power of the ATS-L's 2.0T engine is 279 horsepower/5500rpm, and the peak torque is also 400 Nm, but the speed range is 2900rpm-4600rpm.

It's a pity that this Camaro is not equipped with a rear axle limited-slip differential, which will affect its handling performance at the limit and will also prevent it from making continuous drifting movements.

Objectively speaking, this generation of Camaro has indeed made a lot of progress compared to the previous generation. The new platform brings better handling performance and drives more like a sports car. Although the maximum power of the 2.0T engine is not as good as the old 3.6L engine, the peak torque is higher. At the same time, it also provides an 8AT gearbox, which has made certain improvements in fuel economy, and this is also the trend of future development.

In addition, due to the upcoming deadline of CAFC ("Passenger Car Corporate Average Fuel Consumption Accounting Method") in 2020, some manufacturers have discontinued their sports car models (such as Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ), and will no longer introduce them in the future. Perhaps there will be fewer and fewer sports cars priced under 400,000 yuan in the future. Therefore, if you really want to buy a sports car that is not expensive and can bring you passion, Camaro is a good choice.
