2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs, Reviews, Price

2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs, Reviews, Price  –   The Camaro is going the way of all that came before it. The Camaro will no longer be produced in 2026, according to Chevy. In celebration of its last year, a unique Collector’s Edition package is available for some RS, SS, and ZL1 Camaros. Although details are few at the moment, this Collector’s Edition package seems to be a nod to the look of the original Camaro.

The meat of the tale is that it will be up against a gas-powered Mustang that has been redesigned and will be more powerful than the Camaro’s normal V8. It will also have a more advanced foundation. The Camaro has always been superior to the Mustang in terms of handling and, in certain cases, power, despite the latter’s longer history. The packaging issues, such as the inability to place a tank in with the cramped passenger and cargo areas, have caused some buyers to choose the Mustang over this Challenger since 2016. Everything is taken care of with this Expert Rating. 2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs

The Recaro power-adjustable heated and vented front seats include red accents and are adorned with sueded microfiber and jet black leatherette. The curved rear seats are also available. Additional features include a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system, keyless entry, automatic climate control, pedestrian detection, a rearview camera, a Bose sound system, carbon-fiber instrument panels, and carpets emblazoned with the Garage 56 logo.

Engine and Performance

When it comes to performance, the supercharged ZL1 is in a league of its own. You may find this multi-purpose sports car traveling along the street, on the road course, or at the drag strip. The available 10-speed automatic transmission performs admirably in any scenario. It may be difficult to decide between the ZL1 and the Corvette.

Not only does the V8 have astonishing acceleration—as seen by the 11.8-second quarter-mile run—but its power is also remarkably manageable. Idling in slow-moving traffic is just as comfortable for this engine, which shamefully outperforms expensive luxury automobiles that cost almost as much. It’s swift and silent. Because of its symmetrical driving, the Camaro’s restrictions are easy to grasp, and the vehicle’s huge and slick tires allow for high bending limits.  2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs

2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Fuel Economy

Although it’s 13 mpg in the city, the EPA forecasts 16 mpg on the interstate. With the manual gearbox, you can get 16 mpg on the road, 14 in the city and 20 on the highway. Our automatic-equipped ZL1 got 20.5 mpg for the 115-mile test trip and 14.2 mpg overall, which is close to the EPA-estimated range. When competing against high-performance opponents, the result is mundane.  2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs

2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Safety Features

The ZL1 is equipped with a number of crucial driver-assistance technology. Neither the convertible nor the coupe’s performance data or film recorder are compatible with forward-collision alert. You may visit the official sites of the IIHS and the National Highway Traffic Security Administration to find out more about the Camaro’s crash test results. Critical safety protocols include:

• The front and rear cross-traffic warning systems are both included as standard equipment.
• Rearview camera (coupe only).
• Standard car rear sensors.

2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Price and Release Date

Now that the LT is the base trim, prices start at $33,890 for the coupe and $39,890 for the convertible (with the $1,395 destination fee included). The tariffs from previous year have been slightly raised. The rest of the lineup’s pricing have not been announced by Chevrolet just yet, but we can expect the top-tier supercharged V-8 ZL1 to cost somewhere around $70,000.

Conclusion

The Camaro ZL1 will no longer be manufactured by Chevrolet after January 20, 2026. Before Chevy retires the ZL1, they will produce 350 Collector’s Editions. With the Panther Black glossy paint job, black lines, black 20-inch wheels, and any Camaro ZL1 Collector’s Edition, you get extra graphics for the Camaro door emblems and steering wheel. A one-of-a-kind Shinola watch is a perfect accessory for the collector ZL1 and the limited-edition Camaro. Also, Chevy offers the limited-edition Garage 56 Edition. The modified NASCAR Camaro ZL1 Cup Car that competed in the Le Mans 24 Hours is the inspiration for this piece. Only 56 copies will be available till the end of the year.  2026 Chevy Camaro ZL1 Specs
