The new-generation Chevrolet Camaro 2SS has hit the road in Australia with “world-first” right-hand drive and full Australian Design Rule certification. ߬
The Camaro, initially available in the range-topping 2SS variant with General Motors’ LS3 6.2-litre V8 producing 318 kiloWatts, is being imported, re-engineered and sold by Performax International. Performax International, based in Gympie, Queensland, is Australia’s leading independent importer of American passenger vehicles. Its benchmark CAD-CAD design and 3D component prototyping technology have resulted in factory-quality engineering and finish for what is understood to be the first fully-approved Camaro in a right-hand drive market. The Camaro 2SS, with six-speed manual transmission and a comprehensive luxury package, is priced at approximately $135,000 (at current exchange rates), excluding government and on-road charges.
that sure looks like a sweet ride, but $135k for a sub AUD$50k car in the US? Yes I know, blame it on the import duty and taxes but there are plenty of cars to choose from when you are spending that kind of money.
