2016 Chevrolet Camaro Will Be 200 Pounds Lighter Than Its Predecessor

Chevrolet said that the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will be 200 pounds lighter than its predecessor, which will help the vehicle provide better handling, acceleration and fuel economy when compared to its previous model.

According to the automaker, the new architecture used to make the vehicle has helped the company's engineers to reduce weight of the next generation Camaro.

The company also used beam made of aluminum to support the instrument panel which is lighter than the steel beam used on the current generation Camaro.

Chevrolet has also used rear suspension assemblies made out of aluminum instead of steel to make the vehicle lighter.

Camaro chief enginee Al Oppenheiser said: "We kept the cornering confidence and control that make the Gen 5 Camaro 1LE so fun to drive, and added a greater sense of agility.

"The new Camaro brakes harder, flicks into corners more quickly, and drives out of the corner faster. We expect it will set the benchmark in the segment and give many sports cars a challenge."
