2020 Chevrolet Camaro SS Gets Shock Look, LT1 Joins the Range as LT- SS Blend

The focus of this spring’s modifications is the Camaro SS, whose front end will borrow cues from the Shock concept shown in October last year. In essence, the new face of the SS will feature a bowtie in a new position, in the upper grille, and a body-color bar fitted between the upper and lower grilles.

“Customers spoke, and we listened,” said in a statement Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of marketing. “The overwhelmingly positive reaction to the Shock’s stylized design helped prompt its transition from concept to production.”

Also new to the Camaro range this year is the LT1, a model that takes elements from the LT, more precisely the 1LT trim, and mixes them up with ones belonging to the SS.

The LT1 is powered by a V8 engine that develops 455 hp and will be offered in pair with either a standard six-speed manual transmission or an optional 10-speed automatic.

Envisioned for both the coupe and convertible body styles, the LT1 features LT styling with the SS vented hood, LT1 fender badges and black bowtie emblems, and SS style wheels. Chevy plans to sell the new model starting from $34,995.

Chevy will make some changes for the rest of the Camaro lineup as well. The V6 engine in the LT, for instance, will be paired to a new 10-speed automatic transmission, and Recaro seats will also be made available for this model.

Both the refreshed SS and the LT1 will go on sale this fall. The full list of modifications for 2020 can be found in the document attached below.
