The 2018 facelift updated the front and rear styling of the sixth-generation Camaro, but its greatest mechanical improvement came with the deployment of GM's lightning-fast 10-speed automatic transmission. Built on the ultra-sharp Alpha platform, it consolidated the Camaro's reputation as a track-capable sports machine against the Ford Mustang. Dedicated Chevrolet Camaro maintenance is vital to keep its complex driveline and driver aids performing at their peak.
While the 2.0-litre turbo and 3.6-litre V6 remained available, the heart of the range was the 455 hp LT1 V8 in SS and LT1 trims, alongside the 650 hp supercharged LT4 in the ZL1. The new 10L80 10-speed automatic eradicated earlier transmission shudder issues, delivering telepathic shifts. Track packages like the 1LE added heavy-duty cooling radiators, electronic limited-slip differential, and Brembo six-piston brakes.
