Custom Chevy Performance 2016 Camaros To Debut at SEMA 2015

Rumor has it that the 2016 Chevy Camaro will begin arriving at dealerships across the nation by the middle of next month. Before then though, General Motors will descend upon the Las Vegas Convention Center for the annual Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association Show, better known as SEMA. Chevy Performance will come through town with truckloads of hot new products, including several 2016 Camaros meant to showcase components and parts that will go on sale alongside the all-new bow-tie pony car.

The 2016 Camaro Red Accent and Black Accent Package concepts are meant to showcase how early Camaro buyers will be able to customize their rides. There’s nothing over-the-top here, but there’s still plenty of customization options available.

“These are great-looking examples of what customers can do to personalize their new Gen Six Camaro,” said Roger McCormack, director, Accessories & Performance Parts Marketing. “This will be the largest-ever portfolio of Camaro accessories and performance parts. The possibilities are limited only by imagination.”

Among the production mods is a lower grille with red inserts, red “hash mark” fender graphics, black bow-tie emblems, and 20-inch 5-Spoke Gloss Black wheels with red outline stripe. A red engine cover under the hood brightens things up in the engine bay, and a “concept” black fuel door cover should be offered as well.

Performance wise, a suspension lowering kit pairs well with the Brembo brake package (highlighted by red calipers, of course), though the only engine modification is a cold-air intake. The refined stance of this 2016 Camaro gives it that extra-aggressive look despite the relatively minor modifications.

Then we’ve got the Black Accent Package concept, based around a Camaro SS coupe painted in Red Hot and wearing ground effects meant to invoke its racing pedigree. Black ground effects, darkened tail lamps, satin black rally stripes, black bow-tie emblems, and black 20-inch five split-spoke low-gloss black wheels stand out in stark contrast to the Red Hot paint job. On the inside is a Jet Black leather interior with  a suede console lid with the Chevrolet Performance logo, and red stitching, as well as sport pedal covers. Meanwhile, the same suspension lowering kit, cold air intake, Brembo brakes, and complete the performance enhancements.

GM is also bringing a 2016 Camaro to help highlight its new Red Line Series of performance and exterior enhancements. If you’re keeping count, that means GM is bringing Red Line, Red Accent, and Black Accent Camaro concepts to SEMA 2015. There will also be Red Line Silverado, Colorado, and even a Spark RS concept on display this year, though GM seems to be keeping things pretty basic this year. With its hot new musclecar still not in customer hands, that’s probably a wise move.

That said, we’re a little disappointed to see that GM won’t be offering a supercharger kit right off the bat, at least not so far, and everything else is, well, rather basic to be honest. But that just means we’re going to go into SEMA 2016 with even higher expectations from GM and the 2016 Camaro.
