For the 2012 model year, Chevrolet reintroduced the famous ZL1 name for the Fifth Generation Camaro. Previously, Chevrolet had used the ZL1 name for the First Generation Camaro ZL1, but in 2012, they decided to reintroduce these famous letters. The fifth generation ZL1 was powered by a supercharged 6.2L V8 engine that produced 580hp. This more powerful engine was coupled with a manual or automatic transimission, as well as improvements to the drivetrain, suspension, and brakes in order to make the new ZL1 a truly capable performance car. Available in both coupe and convertible versions, the fifth generation Camaro ZL1 was available until 2015.
