Chevrolet Camaro convertible in Europe

1969. It is complemented with twin gunmetal gray sport stripes. The modern interpretation of the classic colour and its dark accent stripes simultaneously reflect the Camaro’s heritage and deliver a deep, lustrous and thoroughly contemporary appearance.

The Camaro convertible concept rides on 21-inch front wheels and 22-inch rear wheels. The wheels have a deep-dish, five-spoke design and feature charcoal centre sections with bright outer edges and an orange outline on the wheel edge. The charcoal wheels complement the gunmetal gray stripes on the body.

The Camaro convertible has a simple yet purposeful interior that features design elements inspired by the muscle car era, including the first-generation Camaro. A new, light-and-dark colour scheme enhances the airy feel of the convertible, particularly when the top is lowered. The seats feature imitation-leather seat surfaces surrounded by platinum-tone leather and black, sculpted backs. The use of light colour only on the seat surface is reminiscent of vintage hound's-tooth interiors, while a matching, tri-coat platinum paint is used to accentuate the door panels and instrument panel, giving a modern, bold feel to the interior.

“The light-on-dark interior colouring makes a strong statement that conveys the spirit of freedom and fun that is embodied by the Camaro convertible,” said interior designer Micah Jones.

Like the Camaro coupe concept, the convertible concept features an instrument panel inspired by first-generation Camaros (1967 - 1969), including an intricate “round-gauges-in-square-holes” design. The gauges have a deep, three-dimensional appearance, with white faces and red pointers. “The instrument panel – including the four auxiliary gauges mounted in front of the shifter – pays homage to first-generation Camaros, while achieving a modern appearance through its refined integration of components,” said Jones.

Attention to detail is evident throughout the interior, including the smoke satin aluminium finish on trim plates, vents, seat handles and safety belt buckles. The shifter and pedals are made of billet aluminium. The steering wheel has a detailed, deep-dish three-spoke design and the front seats are hinged at the centre – rather than the sides – for an integrated appearance. A separate ignition button is used to start the engine and the speedometer and tachometer needles complete full-sweep indexing when the engine rumbles to life.

A “spine” motif runs through the centre of the vehicle and on the seatbacks and the prominent centre console reinforces the symmetry of the Camaro convertible, as well as its precision.
