2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible’s photos and details released before going on sale in February of 2011 with an estimated starting price $30,000. The soft-top variant of the Camaro has been in the works ever since the introduction of the coupe model
The soft-top four-seater will be offered in similar model configurations as the Camaro coupe, meaning buyers will have a choice of two engines, a 312HP 3.6-liter V6 delivering 29 mpg highway and an 6.2L V8 with 426 horsepower. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard, with an optional six-speed automatic.
Nine production exterior colors will be available, with tops offered in black or tan. Design of car added a tower-to-tower brace under the hood, a transmission support reinforcement brace, underbody tunnel brace and, front and rear underbody “V” braces. The company’s goal was to match the coupe as closely as possible in ride quality, handling and overall performance.
Additional safety structural reinforcements include a hydrofromed tube in the A-pillars, an inner reinforcement bracket in the windshield header, a reinforced front hinge pillar and reinforcements inside the rockers.
The result of the structural changes to the convertible body give it better torsional stiffness than the BMW 3-Series convertible. The Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Coupe comes equipped with a standard power-folding top that retracts in about 20 seconds. Furthermore, a folding, one-piece tonneau cover is standard on 2LT and 2SS models and optional on 1LT/1SS.
