The first 2018 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE has fetched US$ 250,000 at Barrett-Jackson’s most recent auction and was purchased by none
other than Rick Hendrick.
All funds will benefit United Way, a charity that
focuses on providing education, income and health for everyone and for
Hendrick, this Camaro ZL1 1LE is just the latest in a long-line of vehicles he
has purchased from Barrett-Jackson.
The 1LE makes
the muscle car even more track-oriented and incorporates a fleet of new
aerodynamic components, including a large rear wing, and around GM’s 18-turn
Milford Road Course test track, is three seconds faster than a typical ZL1.
Power continues to come from the automaker’s
familiar 6.2-liter LT4 V8 engine delivering 650 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque
mated to a 6-speed manual transmission. The key performance gains are made
through the aforementioned carbon fiber rear wing, front canards and a bold
splitter. The ZL1 1LE also benefits from lightweight Multimatic Dynamic
Suspension Spool Valve dampers at all four corners.
Regular customers will be able to get their hands on
the 1LE later this year. Pricing details are still yet to be announced.
