The Chevrolet Camaro.

On Sunday at the Supercar Gathering - one beautiful car caught my eye. =)

It is THIS car.

This... is the 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro.

The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car produced by General Motors and marketed under the Chevrolet brand. It is the fifth distinct generation of the Camaro to be produced since its original introduction in 1967. Production of the new Camaro began on March 16, 2009 after several years on hiatus since the previous generation's production ended in 2002 and went on sale to the public in April 2009 for the 2010 model year.

On July 22, 2009, GM announced a Transformers Special Edition appearance package for the 2010 Camaro at the 2009 San Diego Comic-Con. The US$995 appearance package can be applied to LT and SS Camaros with or without the optional RS package and could only be applied to orders made in the Rally Yellow exterior scheme. The package includes an Autobot shield badge on the driver and passenger side panels underneath the Camaro nameplate, Autobot shield on each of the four wheel's center cap, Autobot shield embroidered on interior center console, Transformers logo on driver and passenger doors' sill plates replacing the original "Camaro" labeled plates, high-gloss black center rally stripe package with the Transformers ghost logo embedded. Production of the add-on package ceased on January 12, 2010 and was estimated that around 1500 units were to have been produced straight from Order Workbenches.

The Camaro is available in LS, LT and SS guise. The LS and LT models come with a 3.6-liter V6 - mated to either a six-speed automatic or manual transmission and produce an uprated 312 horsepower and 278 lb-ft of torque. Despite having slightly more power than the V6 versions of the Ford Mustang, the V6-powered Camaros return slightly lower fuel economy with 29 mpg on the highway.

Wahhh... such a beauty isnt it? =)
