SMS has released the first pictures of the 620 Camaro as it makes its official unveiling at the North American International Auto Show.
Boasting a modest body kit (with a ‘Red Butterfly’ side induction hood, revised side skirts, and a new front spoiler), the 620 looks aggressive but restrained. Inside, the car features new gauges and sport seats upholstered in Alcantara and leather.
Power comes from a 6.2-liter V8 engine that produces 575 hp and 600 ft-lb of torque. It enables the Camaro to accelerate from 0 to 60 in under 4.3 seconds. If that isn’t impressive enough, SMS also offers the 620X. Packing 715 hp and 700 ft-lb of toque, the 620X can run from 0 to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds or less.
Both models are outfitted with a SMS 296TM Supercharger, a high performance braking system, and a six-speed manual transmission. Options include magneto-rheological semi-active dampers, a torvec isotorque rear differential, a six-speed automatic transmission, and 21-inch rear wheels.
Look for more information to be released when the 620 Camaro is launched in the second quarter of 2010.
