Finished in Garnet Red Tintcoat, this 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 represents the most extreme road-going Camaro of its generation, combining traditional American muscle-car character with a level of chassis sophistication and outright performance that moved the ZL1 firmly into genuine sports car territory. At its heart is Chevrolet’s supercharged 6.2-litre LT4 V8, producing 650bhp and 650lb ft of torque, with this example paired with the desirable 10-speed automatic transmission. Magnetic Ride Control, an electronic limited-slip differential, Brembo braking and a performance exhaust all form part of a package engineered to make the ZL1 as capable through corners as it is devastatingly quick in a straight line.

This particular car is especially well specified, with its Garnet Red Tintcoat complemented by the distinctive 20-inch forged ZL1 wheels, while options include the electric glass sunroof, Performance Data Recorder and Satellite Navigation. The cabin combines the sense of occasion expected of a flagship Camaro with genuine usability, featuring Recaro sports seats, Head-Up Display, BOSE Sound System and heated and ventilated front seats. It also benefits from a handful of subtle and sympathetic upgrades, including uprated brake discs and pads together with a Roto-Fab air intake, further complementing the performance character of the ZL1 without detracting from its original specification.

Originally supplied by Faulkner Chevrolet Cadillac in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the car was first registered to its original owner in New York in December 2017. It was brought to the UK very early in its life, being first registered here on 1st May 2018, and has remained in the UK ever since whilst being regularly serviced. Combining an appealing colour, strong specification and interesting provenance, this is a particularly attractive example of a model that sits at a high point in the modern history of the Camaro.
