Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Full Review | Specifications, Price, Engine, Top Speed

2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE

Overview

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is an American automobile manufactured by General Motors. The first production started back in 1966 and it was designed to compete with Ford Mustang. Four different generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. Later in 2009, the fifth generation was in production and today we have the sixth generation Camaro, a completely improved sports car. The Chevrolet Camaro is usually classified as pony car or muscle car. This car was replacing its predecessor the Chevrolet Corvair, a muscle car. 

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 was built to compete with the most advanced sports car in the world and we can definitely say that General Motors got their formulae well just by looking at the menacing design. The car gets classified as both luxury sports car and muscle car.

Designs

The design of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has improved greatly. You can clearly say this Camaro is the among the best looking car General Motors has ever built.

The massive upper and lower grille openings allow air into the engine for maximum cooling. The carbon-fibre composite hood acts as an air extractor. It directs air from the engine to decrease lift. Downforce has greatly increased in the new Chevy Camaro ZL1 with the help of a three-stanchion spoiler and many other components all-together. The front splitter also looks very aggressive.

The Chevy Camaro ZL1 takes aerodynamic to another level. Even the front Chevy badge has been hollowed out to increase airflow. The rear diffuser and wing help in keeping a high level of performance during the whole journey.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is also available as a convertible. The fully electronic convertible top can be retracted while driving up to 30 mph.

The interior of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is mostly the same as the other types of Camaro except for the steering wheel, seats and exposed carbon-fibre. The car has a flat-bottom steering wheel that makes you feel like you are in a supercar and yeah, the steering wheel is heated. The Camaro ZL1 also features standard RECARO performance seats with well-designed bolsters that help to reduce arm interference during quick shifts. The power seats come with memory package as well. The car has rear seats but do not even think about it due to its size. Maybe only kids can fit back there.

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 comes equipped with a head-up display, a wireless smartphone charger and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto compatibility. The old school parking brake has been replaced with an electronic one and the car has keyless open and start system. Inside the car is a Bose premium audio system that delivers amazing sound quality. The Chevy Camaro ZL1 has a built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi that can connect up to seven devices simultaneously.

Engine

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is the most powerful Camaro ever produced. Under the hood lies a 6.2L supercharged V8. The Eaton supercharger has a new cooling design that has more efficient heat exchange thus, providing consistent power during the whole ride. The powerful engine makes 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque. You can have either a six-speed manual gearbox with Active Rev Matching or an all-new paddle-shift ten-speed automatic transmission. The rear-wheel-drive Camaro ZL1 will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.5s and it will do a quarter mile in 11.4s. The car has a top speed of 200 mph.

With the help of the 650 hp, the Magnetic Ride Technology and a track aero package, the Chevy Camaro ZL1 has completed the famous Nurburgring lap in an astonishing 7:29:60, better than the last generation ZL1 by nearly 12s. The lighter and stiffer platform that the new ZL1 is built on has also helped a lot in breaking this record.

Additional Specifications

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 uses standard 20 inch forged aluminium wheels that are wrapped in Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar summer-only tires that are best for track use. The car also has large Brembo brakes that allows precise braking while resisting fade.  

The Chevy Camaro ZL1 features Magnetic Ride Control suspension that reads the road conditions 1000 times per second. As you hit a corner, the suspension gets stiffer and body roll is reduced immediately. This system basically allows you to drive your Camaro ZL1 to its limits while keeping you firmly on the ground. 

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is also equipped with Performance Traction Management System (eLSD) that makes it easier for you to achieve quicker lap times by giving you high-speed stability, improving "turn in" response and corner exit speed. 

The new ZL1 has Custom Launch Control which uses Performance Traction Control to keep the rear tires spinning at the correct speed and it also allows you to adjust your launch RPM as well as wheel slippage through the Driver Information Centre. The car also has a Line Lock feature that primarily allows you to lock the front wheels thus allowing the rear wheels to spin, warming the tires for maximum grip.

1LE Track Package

The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 comes with a 1LE Track Package which will improve aero and downforce much more. The package will feature exposed weave carbon-fibre wing, front dive planes and adjustable suspension. This package will make the car much more agile around the track.

Price

The Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 has a starting price of around $62,000. Currently, anyone interested can order one and you can also build your own on Chevrolet website. For such a performance, I think the Camaro ZL1 is worth the price.

2018 Mercedes G63 AMG review


Overview

The Mercedes G-Class (G-Wagon) is a mid-size luxury SUV built by Magna Steyr in Austria and marketed by Mercedes-Benz. This luxury SUV is one of the longest produced Mercedes with a span of 35 years. The first production was back in 1979 and it was used as a military vehicle. Later the same year, a civilian version was also made available to the general public. The manufacturer wanted to stop production of the G-Class several times but the market really loves it and as each year passed, sales increased. Mercedes-Benz brought various updates to the G-Wagon over the years while still keeping the original boxy style. Among the many versions of the Mercedes G-Wagon are the G63 4x4 squared, G63 6x6, G500 AMG, G800 AMG.

This year, the second generation of Mercedes G-Class was launched at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on January 14, 2018. This new generation has the G63 AMG and the G500 AMG. The new SUV features a lot of improvement from its predecessor. The designs, however is mostly the same boxy style but the lines are smoother now and the front of the car has changed. A major improvement has happened under the hood and according to Mercedes-Benz, the new G63 will handle much better on road while still being the king of off-roading.

Exterior

The designs of the Mercedes G63 AMG has been kept the same but there are some slight changes. The headlights are new and they are LED, which means that visibility at night will be improved. The front bumper has completely changed also, making the car looks a bit more stylish. The new AMG-specific Panamericana grille design definitely separates the new G63 from the older ones. The lines on the side of the G63 AMG are smoother now compared to its predecessor but you have to take a good look to be able to notice it. The wheels are wider now and up to 22-inch wheels can be fitted on the G63 AMG. The ground clearance has also improved to 9.5 inches.

An optional AMG Night Package is also available for the Mercedes G63 AMG. The package includes darker headlamp, tail-light and indicator lenses. Black-painted side mirrors, parts of the spare-tire cover, the trim from the front to the rear bumper and the wheels are also in the package.

Interior

The interior of the Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG has completely changed. The dashboard has been fitted with one large panel of glass split into two, replacing the traditional instrument cluster and the navigation and infotainment. The multi-functional steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls for the infotainment system is also new in the G63 AMG. The old handbrake has now been replaced with an electric one and a gear selector stalk is also added. 

Another major improvement in the new Mercedes G63 AMG is that it is lighter by 170 kg compared to the older version. Good news for those who complain about the space inside the cabin. This new G63 AMG is 53 millimetres longer and 121 millimetres wider, which means that there are more legroom and shoulder room for both front and rear passengers than the older G-Class.

Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG Top Speed


Engine

Under the hood lies a 4.0L Twin-Turbo (BiTurbo) V8. The all-wheel-drive G63 AMG makes 585 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. The car uses a new AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9G transmission. The G63 AMG will accelerate to 60 mph in 4.4s, nearly a full second faster than its high-performance predecessor. Quarter mile figure not available as the car has not yet been driven by anyone. The Mercedes G63 AMG can achieve a top speed of 137 mph (220 km/h) while with the AMG Driver's Package, it will reach up to 149 mph (240 km/h). 

The Mercedes G63 AMG, for the first time ever, comes equipped with five driving modes: Comfort, Sport, Eco, Individual and G-Mode. These modes not only adjust the damping, steering and throttle response but G-Mode also activates the car's low-speed transfer box. A new improved suspension, chassis, engine, gearbox and driver assistance package have been fitted in the new G63 AMG. This car does not use the old rack-and-pinion steering from the traditional recirculation ball set-up that the older version was using. The new steering system will improve the on-road precision.

Good news for all those who complain about the bad fuel economy. Mercedes-Benz has promised better fuel efficiency with the new G63 AMG. It will now do 13.1L per 100 km, which is not that much of an improvement from the older version but still, it is a bit better.

Price

The new Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG has an entry price of at least $125,000. The price is still in the range of its predecessor but now with all improvements, this car is worth every penny according to me. The G-Wagon has always been loved by everyone and this love is not going to decrease anytime soon. 

Mercedes G63 AMG Price


Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz, has said during the launch of the new Mercedes G63 AMG that an electric version of the SUV might be available soon on the market. That will be interesting to see and definitely, Tesla will get another direct competitor. 

We reinvent it all the time while keeping the character and remaining true to ourselves. Our indestructible classic is now ready for more adventure, in more comfort for driver and passengers - Mercedes-Benz

2018 Chevy Corvette ZR1


Overview

For over eight years, Corvette team used all that they had to create a solid successor to the C6 and the new C7 ZR1 is the result. The previous one from 2009 left quite a good impression with its 638 hp and we are all expecting more from the new one.

Revealed in Dubai, UAE, the new Chevy Corvette ZR1 is the fastest production car that General Motors has ever made. From commanding stance, a lot of carbon-fiber to muscular lines, they designed the ZR1 with one purpose in mind: Performance

The overall of the Chevy Corvette ZR1, especially the design, has been greatly updated to make the car looks angrier than ever. As the manufacturers say, this is a luxury sports car. Apart from the good looks, the performance of the car will be another reason why you will want one badly. Let's take a look at the specifications, shall we?

Designs

The Chevy Corvette ZR1 is designed to have maximum downforce as possible while still making the car looks appealing to the eyes. This car is all about lightweight design. Starting with the fact that the engine on the front is out in the open. Yes, the engine is not covered with the hood cover. What General Motors refers to as the "halo hood". The carbon weave is perfectly aligned with the hood cover of the Chevy Corvette ZR1 but the intercooler cover will move around when the car is accelerating. There are also two openings in front of the engine to remove hot air from the engine bay. 

The lower front wing of the Chevy Corvette ZR1 gives the car an advantage over the standard Z06 in terms of increased downforce, thus enabling the car to reach its record-breaking top speed. Also, the ZR1 is one of the very first production car to has a front underwing, borrowed directly from race cars. This additional piece of carbon-fibre will turn its closeout panel into a downforce control surface. 

The massive rear carbon-fibre high wing makes about 60 percent more downforce than the previous generation C6. The Quattro exhaust system provides four sound modes namely Track, Sport, Tour and Stealth. So it's up to you to decide how loud you want your Chevy Corvette ZR1. Believe it or not, the sound that the exhaust system creates is very satisfying.

The Chevy Corvette ZR1 is equipped with standard high-performance Brembo carbon ceramic brakes which will provide ultimate stopping power. The car uses 19-inch wheels on the front and 20-inch at the back, all wrapped in Michelin Pilot Super Sport.

The whole car weighs only 1615 kg (3560 lbs), bear in mind that the Chevy Corvette ZR1 has all the luxury you could imagine.

Interior

The interior of the Chevy Corvette ZR1 is not that much different from the Z06. Expect to see a lot of exposed carbon-fibre on the dashboard and in between the seats. The rest of the interior is mostly leather or Alcantara (depending on owner's choice). Once again, the Chevy Corvette ZR1 is a luxury sports car. The Corvette team focused on both luxury and performance and with the results, we can say they are successful. "The car has a comfortable and functional interior", says General Motors.

What is under the hood might be the best thing about the whole car. The Chevy Corvette ZR1 has a 6.2L supercharged V8. The massive engine makes 755 hp and 715 lb-ft of torque. The ZR1 can achieve a top speed of 212 mph, which is very impressive for a Corvette. The car has not yet been tested on track but it is expected that 0 to 60 mph will happen in approximately 2.7s. You can get your Chevy Corvette ZR1 with either a seven-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic

You will also get stiffer chassis compared to the normal ZR1 and specific Magnetic Ride Control tuning for optimized cornering grip. In addition, a set of Michelin Sport Cup 2 tyres comes in the package. For the time being, we do not really know how much this package will cost but expect it to be around $3000.

The Chevy Corvette ZR1 has already become a favourite among many of us and it has already earned a place on my list of cars to get. From the beautifully crafted interior and exterior to the loud exhaust to the undeniable performance, General Motors has finally created a car to make an automotive enthusiast completely satisfied. Let's also not forget that this car is the cheapest in its category.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Full Review | Specifications, Price and Competitors

2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS Review


Overview

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a high-performance sports car produced by German auto manufacturer, Porsche. The first generation of 911 started back in 1993 and was produced till 1998 then it was produced between 2001 to 2005 and from 2007 to 2012. Now, in 2018, Porsche has decided to continue the production with the new GT2 RS.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS was initially released at the 2017 E3 along with the announcement of Forza Motorsport 7 video game. Then, finally, the car was officially launched at the 2017 Goodwood Festival of Speed and Porsche also introduced the 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series during the same event.

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is based largely on the 911 Turbo. The car features the same twin-turbocharged engine but with numerous upgrade to improve its performance. New larger brakes and stiffer suspension calibration are among the upgrades of the car. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is way lighter than the 911 Turbo due to its rear-wheel drive system instead of the all-wheel system in the 911 Turbo. There has also been a reduction or complete removal of certain interior components. 

Another amazing fact worth noting is that the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is the most expensive and fastest car in the 911 lineup.

Design


Porsche 911 GT2 RS Interior


The design of the new Porsche 911 GT2 RS is completely insane. Porsche has gone to the extreme level with this one and we all love how it looks. Raw, menacing and definitely sexy! The design of the GT2 RS is literally the GT2 with additional air intakes, a large rear wing bigger than the body of the car and other modifications. 

The Porsche GT2 RS has a roof made of magnesium, very durable but lighter than aluminium. The front lid, front and rear wings and boot lid are all made of carbon. Polyurethane, known for its lightweight, is present on the front and rear apron. The rear and side windows of the car are made of polycarbonate. The GT2 RS has a titanium exhaust system. Porsche has made sure that the GT2 RS is the lightest and most agile car in the 911 lineup.

Let's talk about air vents now. At first glance itself, you will notice air intakes everywhere around the car. Well, these powerful air intakes ensure optimum cooling of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS. There are additional air outlets on the front helping with the airflow of the central radiator and at the same time making the car more aerodynamics while increasing downforce. The large rear wing brings in the biggest contribution in terms of downforce. Porsche has made it clear that all the air vents are protected by titanium-coloured air intake grilles. The two vents on the front lid are used to ventilate the braking system. This is the first time that a series-production Porsche is equipped with vents on the front lid. They cool down the braking system without reducing the drag coefficient. The Porsche 911 GT2 RS has a net weight of only 1470 kg.

Weissach Package

An option to make the Porsche 911 GT2 RS even much lighter is to go for the Weissach package. The latter will reduce additional 30 kg of weight from the car. How they do that? They use carbon fibre and titanium in more places around the car. They make the anti-roll bars and coupling rods on both axles out of carbon fibre. They will also give you a fresh set of magnesium wheels.

Porsche 911 GT2 RS Horsepower


Engine

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.8L twin-turbocharged flat-6 making 690 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the GT2, the GT2 RS has a seven-speed PDK transmission to handle the excess amount of torque. The car will do 0 to 60 mph in 2.7s and it will do 0 to 100 mph in 5.8s, faster than its predecessor for sure. It will reach up to a top speed of 210 mph (340 km/h).

During the last days of September 2017, the Porsche GT2 RS made a lap time of 6:47:3 at the Nurburgring, averaging a speed of 184.11 km/h. This is the fastest production car lap time ever recorded there.

2018 Mercedes AMG GT-R Review


Overview

Superior performance, exquisite style, cutting-edge technology... This is what comes to our mind whenever we hear Mercedes. And once again, we are right with the 2018 Mercedes AMG GT-R. A supercar which has all the latest technology and luxury has but at the same time, a lot of raw power to push back to your seat. In fact, Mercedes-AMG has never put so much motorsport technology in a production car before. 

The new Mercedes AMG GT-R is the latest addition to the GT series. The first Mercedes AMG GT was released back in 2014 followed by the Mercedes AMG GT-C. The Mercedes AMG GT replaced its predecessor the Mercedes SLS AMG, produced from 2010 to 2014. 

The new Mercedes AMG GT-R has better aerodynamics and downforce compared to the AMG GT and AMG GT-C. The front fender is also a completely new one (more of that in the designs section below).

Mercedes AMG GT-R Specifications


Specifications

Designs

The Mercedes AMG GT-R's design is from the original AMG GT but with some updates to it. The lightweight high-strength aluminium body makes the GT-R agiler on the road as well as around the corners. The fixed carbon fibre rear spoiler helps in the aerodynamics of the car, eliminating unnecessary lifts during acceleration. There are two types of carbon fibre package which you can choose from when ordering your GT-R. Active air intakes on the sides of the car, on the front and back also improves the active aerodynamics of the car. Apart from the sleek body, the new AMG Panamericana grille strikes the most attention. The 15 chrome-plated vertical fins definitely make the car look more aggressive and menacing. The car is often referred to as 'The Beast of The Green Hell' as it has spent most of its development time in the 'Green Hell' of the Nürburgring racetrack and it has conquered the track with ease.


Mercedes AMG GT-R Top Speed


Engine

Under the hood of the Mercedes AMG GT-R is a 4.0L Biturbo V8 (3982cc) producing 577 horsepower at 6250 rpm and 516 lb-ft of torque at 5500 rpm. Its power is slightly more than the AMG GT and the AMG GT-C. The rear wheel drive (RWD) AMG GT-R has a seven-speed AMG Speedshift DCT. The car will do 0-60 mph in just 3.5 seconds and a quarter mile in 11.2 seconds.  The beast makes use of electronic steering actuators to move each wheel independently up to 1.5 degrees in each direction. The Mercedes AMG GT-R has a top speed of 198 mph.

Fuel Consumption

Apart from being a supercar and a luxury car at the same time, the Mercedes AMG GT-R is also good at fuel consumption. In the city, the car will do 15 miles per gallon and on the highway, it should usually do 20 miles per gallon. These figures look very good, considering the AMG GT-R to be a luxury car for the racetrack with a big V8 under the hood.  

Interior

Inside the Mercedes AMG GT-R, there is no compromise on luxury or technology. You will find leather, Alcantara and carbon fibre mostly everywhere. There is no cheap plastic anywhere at all. The car is packed with a lot of technology, from collision prevention assist plus to heated power folding mirrors with logo projectors (optional), the AMG GT-R has it all. Even though it is a two-seater supercar, it has a surprisingly high amount of airbags, eight in total. The car is equipped with the AMG Drive unit with E-select. You can control virtually everything on the 8.4-inch display with the touchpad controller in the centre console. The AMG GT-R is primarily equipped with a lightweight 4-speaker sound system but you can upgrade that to a Burmester High-End sound system.

The Mercedes AMG GT-R also comes with attention assist, LED daytime running lights, adaptive highbeam assist, Parktronic, rearview camera, adaptive braking, ABS, brake Assist (BAS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Smartkey, Distronic plus (optional), blind spot assist (optional), included in the base price.

Let's take a moment to look at the cargo space of the car. The AMG GT-R has a 10.1 cu ft of trunk capacity, bear in mind that it is a supercar.

Price

The Mercedes AMG-GTR price starts at $157,000 (MSRP*). Personally, I think the Mercedes AMG GT-R is a great bargain for that price. Let's wait and see how much I will be worth after some years.

2018 Porsche 911 GT3 

2018 Mercedes AMG GT-R competitor 2018 Porsche 911 GT3


The best competitor to the Mercedes AMG GT-R is none other than the Porsche 911 GT3. A lightweight supercar which is very nimble around corners and on the racetrack. It has a 4.0L direct fuel injection (DFI) flat-six producing 500 hp at 8250 rpm and  339 lb-ft of torque. The GT3 will do 0-60 mph in just 3.2 seconds (PDK) and around 3.8 seconds (manual). Both an automatic (PDK) and manual transmission will be available for the new generation Porsche GT3. The PDK will go up to 197 mph whereas the manual's top speed will reach 198 mph.

The Porsche 911 GT3 is much more about the corners and driving fun than in a straight-line acceleration. Come on, who will want to buy a supercar that is very fast in acceleration but around corners, it can easily kill you. Porsche is all about the fun during the journey. The rear-wheel steering system has been kept the same as in the 2014 GT3. You can upgrade to the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) for around $8000 (If you do, you won't regret it). As every Porsche, there are lots of options available because they want to reduce the base price. Rear view camera, parking sensors, satellite navigation among others are all options on the Porsche 911 GT3.

The interior of the Porsche 911 GT3 is quite boring compared to the Mercedes AMG GT-R. The AMG GT-R is all above the luxury, comfort and technology whereas the 911 GT3 is all about weight saving and performance.

The base price of the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 is around $144,650. It might be less than its rival but the AMG GT-R is equipped with much more at base price than the GT3. In the end, we need to see how much these cars will depreciate in value over the years.
