Camaro Now Green With Synergy

A heritage look requires the use of a heritage color. The 2010 Chevy Camaro is now available in rallye (synergy) green.

When you build a heritage model, you borrow the styling cues from the original and hope that these characteristics successfully translate into an all new car.

In the Chevrolet Camaro, GM has managed to do just that, building a car that offers a nice tribute to the original, while redefining the sport coupe market for the 21st century.

Green With Synergy

But Chevrolet hasn’t forgotten one of the important attributes of the earlier model such as memorable body colors like rallye green. To that end, Chevrolet has decided to bring back that earlier color midway through the 2010 model year: an attention getting Camaro Synergy Special Edition model with pricing starting at $26,790.

This model, which will be produced for a limited time (February through May) is based on the Camaro 1LT with its 3.6L V6 engine paired with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Dramatic Camaro Colors

“Synergy Green continues a long tradition of dramatic Camaro colors,” says Camaro historian Scott Settlemire. “Some of the most sought-after Camaros are first generation cars – those from 1967 to 1969 – in Hugger Orange, Daytona Yellow, and Rallye Green.”

Rallye green was one of the special colors offered with the original Chevy Camaro including this 1969 model.

The color scheme was first introduced at the 2009 SEMA (Specialty Equipment Manufacturers) show where it was received with critical acclaim. GM says that the model will be “accented by Cyber Grey Rally Stripes running the length of the Camaro hood and rear deck. Other exterior features include a standard rear spoiler, and standard 19 inch, Sterling Silver painted wheels wrapped with P245/50R19 tires.”

Interior Touches Too

Inside, the special edition Camaro will feature a Synergy Green instrument panel and door inserts. Synergy Green stitching also accents the Jet Black cloth seats, steering wheel, shift knob and center console.

“The Synergy Special Edition package is designed for customers who want a unique performance car at an attainable price,” says Camaro marketing manager John Fitzpatrick. “For under $27,000, Camaro Synergy Special Edition offers standout styling, modern technologies like Bluetooth, and 304 horsepower under the hood.”

Synergy Green joins Inferno Orange and the Rallye Yellow Transformers Edition which have helped propel the Camaro. Since being reintroduced last Spring, the Camaro has met and even exceeded most expectations, outselling its Ford Mustang rival in most months.
