The new 2016 Chevrolet Camaro RS is definitely not similar to the previous generations. Want to know why ??? Here ​are 11 reasons

1- Brand new ​platform
This car is based on GM's Alpha platform while other were usually based on Zeta platform. That's why all the underbody pieces are not the same and can't be interchanged.

2- First ​engine in 30 years
A standard four-cylinder is not seen in any model in 30 years. It's a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder borrowed from the ATS, developing about 270 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque.

3. Three radiators
One main radiator is located in the conventional position while two smaller radiators are stationed on either side, mounted at right angles.

4- The automatic transmission cooler is horizontal
A mounted transmission cooler, through which air flows downward is lying horizontally at the bottom of the box formed by the V-8’s three radiators

5-​The anti-roll bar drop-links are plastic to save weight
The front anti-roll bar are a high-strength plastic, not reinforced by any fibrous material.

6- Each outer ring on the central air outlet rotates to set the system temperature
This way helps minimize the number of buttons while making it easy to adjust the temperature setting of the HVAC system. The set temp is then shown briefly on the central LCD display.

7- Alpha platform but wider track
In order to preserve most of the Alpha platform, longer suspension pieces were used on the same pickup points for a wider track (1.6 inches greater up front, 1.2 inches wider at the back—Camaro SS versus CTS) .Most of these bits are aluminum, and, in total, they’re 21-percent lighter than the corresponding parts on the fifth-gen Camaro.

8. The roof is laser-welded
Opposite other cars where the roof is usually MIG-welded to the sides of the car. On the Camaro, it is laser-welded, producing a much neater seam that requires no handwork and looks better on all versions.

9- The Screen
On this screen, you can display three different instrument configurations on the top third and at least four different screens underneath. These are independent of what is on the 8-inch LCD screen on the dash.

10. The SS model is "track capable"
SS is rated as track capable.Thanks to the radiators, it can run for an entire tank of fuel at maximum speed around GM’s Milford Road course without burning its engine, transmission, differential, or brakes.

11. The hood vents are functional
The vents on the aluminum hood of the Camaro SS serve to relieve excess air from the engine compartment.
