Sacrilege? Well maybe for some, but in our books, it’s totally okay if that’s what it takes to keep cars like the Camaro alive and kicking. According to GM’s Vice President Bob Lutz who spoke to journalist on the sidelines of the New York auto show, if fuel prices continue to increase, GM is considering to response with a four-cylinder engine for the new Chevrolet Camaro.
Luckily, GM is not thinking about any 4-cylinder unit, but for the same 260 HP, 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected four-cylinder that’s used in the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky roadsters.
GM’s current plans for the Camaro that’s expected in the US market next February include V6 and V8 units. Whaile there’s no official info on the V8 powertrain(s), at the NY Show opening, Lutz confirmed that the V6 Camaro will be powered by a detuned version of the Cadillac CTS’ 3.6-liter V6 unit developing around 260 Hp. According to Lutz, the V6 Camaro should be able to get an avg. fuel consumption of 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.
