Lean power
The new Camaro will come in three "trim levels." LS and LT Camaros will be powered by the same direct-injected 3.6-liter V6 engine that powers the Cadillac CTS performance sedan.

Direct injection means that fuel is injected right into the cylinders rather than being squirted into air that's on its way to the cylinders. That allows for more precise control of the way in which fuel mixes with air. That, in turn, allows more power to be produced.

The V6 engine will produce a maximum of 300 horsepower. The V6 cars are estimated to get 26 mpg on the highway.

The Camaro SS will be powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine producing up to 400 or 422 horsepower. (Buyers who opt for a manual transmission will get the more powerful engine.) All V8 Camaros are estimated to get 23 mpg on the highway.

All of the new Camaros, whether manual or automatic, will have six-speed transmissions.
