2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS

The 2015 Chevrolet Camaro SS is built around a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and is factory-equipped with a 6.2-liter V8 rated at 426 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. That powerplant is the defining element of the SS model and is paired with driveline and chassis components tuned for stronger acceleration, higher-speed stability and more direct handling than the V6 models.

Powertrain and transmission
- 6.2L V8 producing 426 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque (factory rating supplied).
- Offered with a choice of transmissions from the factory: a six-speed manual transmission with short-throw shift linkage, or a six-speed automatic with manual shift capability (paddle shifters on equipped automatics). The rear-wheel-drive layout and available limited-slip differential are fitted to manage traction and put the V8’s output to the pavement.

Chassis, brakes and steering
- Performance-tuned suspension with stiffer springs and dampers relative to non-SS Camaros, designed to reduce body roll and improve turn-in.
- Four-wheel disc brakes with ABS and electronic brake-force distribution as standard equipment; stability control and traction control systems are factory-installed to aid vehicle control.
- Power-assisted steering calibrated for a sportier steering feel.

Exterior features
- Distinctive SS styling cues including unique front fascia and badging, dual exhaust outlets, and an available rear spoiler depending on trim and option packages.
- Projector-type headlamps and daytime running lamps are part of the factory lighting package; fog lamps are included on higher trims or as part of option groups.
- Aerodynamically styled hood and sculpted bodywork that reflect the performance focus of the SS model.

Wheels and tires
- Larger alloy wheels and performance-oriented tires are factory-fitted to the SS; sizes and styles vary by trim and options but are selected to balance grip and ride quality for sport driving.

Interior and comfort
- Sport seats with supportive bolstering to hold occupants during spirited driving; seating surfaces and trim vary by trim—base SS (1SS) includes cloth or available leather, while higher-level 2SS trim comes standard with leather-appointed seats and additional comfort features.
- Power accessories (power windows, power door locks, power mirrors), cruise control, and tilt/telescoping steering column are standard.
- Climate control is provided as standard; dual-zone automatic climate control is included on higher trims or 2SS packages.

Infotainment and connectivity
- Chevrolet MyLink infotainment system with a centrally mounted touchscreen, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity and audio streaming, USB and auxiliary inputs for device integration.
- AM/FM radio and a multi-speaker audio system are factory equipment; upgraded Bose or premium audio systems are typically offered on higher trims or as part of option packages.
- OnStar telematics and available navigation are offered as factory options or as part of higher trim content.

Safety and driver aids
- Standard active and passive safety features include front and side-impact airbags, head curtain airbags, and a tire pressure monitoring system.
- Electronic stability control and traction control are standard; rearview camera and parking assist features are available depending on trim level or options.

Factory option packages
- The SS could be equipped with several factory option packages to enhance track capability (suspension, brakes, tires), interior comfort (heated/ventilated seats, premium audio), and appearance (special wheels, stripes, trim). Availability depends on the chosen trim (1SS vs. 2SS) and whether the model is coupe or convertible.

Overall, the 2015 Camaro SS ships from the factory as a V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive performance coupe/convertible with sport-tuned chassis hardware, a choice of manual or automatic transmissions, supportive interior appointments, and Chevrolet’s suite of connectivity and safety equipment.
