Ke Mai Luo headed to China

Chevrolet will introduce the legendary Camaro sports car at Auto Shanghai 2011 later this month. The Camaro will have a sonorous Chinese name - 科迈罗 (Ke Mai Luo). The Ke Mai Luo, with a 312 horsepower 3.6-liter engine, will be priced around RMB 500,000 (just over $76,000 USD).

In recent years, China's luxury sports car market has been flourishing, highlighted by the midsize luxury segment (priced at RMB 400,000--800,000), which grew 141% in 2010. At present, this segment is dominated by cars with European design. The Camaro, with its "masculine" styling, will be a welcome addition.

Additional details about the Camaro will be announced at the Shanghai auto show .
