Bumble Bee, the Camaro heads to SA!
We all loved the movie Transformers and Bumble Bee found a soft spot in each of us. Honestly, this car is outright sexy. It has the aggressive stance that its heritage demands and a V8 engine with 300kw of in your face power spitting out of the back wheels.
This Camaro is a WOW car and its headed to SA soon!
Two engine variations are scheduled to hit our shores, the “entry-level” V6 and the “big-kahuna” V8. No official sprint timing is available just yet, but preliminary runs peg the V8 at under 5 seconds.
The V6 model uses the same engine from the much acclaimed Cadillac CTS and punches 225kw of power through its perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distributed body.
GM, we want prices and where do we sign to book one of these babies?

Saleen customized the chassis for the film, so there's a rumor flying around that they may be creating their own version with a twin-supercharged V8 cranking out 600bhp.

A Saleen version would absolutely rock! NUmbers woul dbe limited though, so expect that version to at least 50 grand or so.
@ Saul - Yeah mate, although all sense of reason is left in a corner somewhere. The V8 is definitely the one! I would sell me current ride for this even though i know it doesn't make sense to be driving in traffic with this baby!
And I'm grinning again, cos I'm thinking about sprinting along the N1 with no number plates :D
