American chat show legend and car enthusiast Jay Leno unveils his own version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro at this year’s SEMA show. It’s powered by a twin-turbo V6 which mixes superior performance with great efficiency. Leno’s Camaro features a unique body kit with new grilles at front, and a new rear diffuser along with a rear wing at the back.
The engine used in this car is the same 3.6L direct injected V6 that is standard in Camaro LS and LT models, but with a pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers and an air-to-air intercooler it develops 425 hp, the same as the V8-powered SS model, but fuel consumption of the V6.
Other mechanical changes made to the car include include a larger-capacity Be-Kool radiator and a custom exhaust system, as well as a Centerforce-supplied clutch and pressure plate for the six-speed manual transmission. It also has Brembo six-piston brake package, Pedders coil-over lowering kit, New front fascia with custom fog lamps and integral brake cooling vents and Air extractor-style hood.
