The Camaro Transformers special edition was announced, aptly, at the comic-book confab Comic-Con in San Diego on Wednesday. Karen Rafferty, Chevrolet product marketing director, couldn't resist saying, "Streets all over North America will be buzzing in no time."
The standard Transformers Camaro is, of course, yellow with black stripes and has the Camaro's 3.6-liter V6 making 304 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque, mated to a six-speed manual or optional six-speed automatic transmission. For those who order a Camaro SS in Transformers livery, it gets the 426-hp V8 (400 hp on the automatic). The same electronic gadgetry is all there, including Bluetooth and USB connectivity, XM satellite radio and OnStar.
The main point of the special edition is the badging. There are Autobot shields on the driver- and passenger-side panels, center caps of all four wheels, and the center console on the inside. The Transformers logo is embedded into the hood stripes and on the sill plates.
The package can be ordered now, on the LT or SS models in Rally Yellow, and costs $995. GM says the optional Camaro RS appearance package can be ordered with the Transformers version, too.
Inside Line says: For those who want to play superhero every day. — Laura Sky Brown, Correspondent
