MANILA, Philippines — The 2010 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Auto Show will be in for a fantastic treat — courtesy of four fearsome faces of the 2011 Chevrolet Camaro.

Sports car enthusiasts will surely eye this handsome piece of machine, which will be launched in four modified units targeted at luring car aficionados of all kinds at the event to be hosted at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada this Wednesday (Manila time), November 3, 2010.

First up is the 2011 Camaro Red Flash Show Car, which puts together all the original parts of the vehicle along with a host of uniquely new concepts from the design studio. Under the hood, it is reinforced with a 6.2-liter LS3 V-8 engine with Tremec TR6060 six-speed manual transmission.

"The Camaro Red Flash is the opposite of a 'sleeper' on the street," said Adam Barry, lead designer, in a press statement. "From every angle, it looks and sounds like the high-performance sports car it is. It's a model for the enthusiast who doesn't want to hide his performance aspirations."

The Red Jewel’s interior features an Ebony leather-trimmed cabin with titanium stitching and red accents on the seats. There's also a custom steering wheel, racing-style pedals and red LED lighting for the door trim.

Next one is the Camaro SSX Track Car Concept.

This Camaro breed puts a greater emphasis on the vehicles performance which, once coupled with the vehicles outstanding physique, will surely be a winner on the race tracks from the get-go.

"The SSX concept explores taking Camaro's excellent street performance and extending it into a road course context," said Chris Perry, vice president, Chevrolet marketing. "The car expresses Camaro performance while also signaling Chevrolet's new commitment to developing and offering a portfolio of performance parts for racing enthusiasts."

The Camaro SSX Track Car has a purposeful aesthetic, with exterior appointments and suspension modifications aimed at road course performance. They include carbon fiber aero parts – front splitter and adjustable rear wing – lightweight carbon fiber body panels, revised lower grille and unique brake cooling ducts. The carbon body panels significantly lower the Camaro's weight, as does the elimination of much of the production car's sound-deadening material, carpeting and rear seat.

Low-gloss Icy White Metallic exterior paint is contrasted with the carbon aero parts, door graphics/racing number and red details; and this competition-ready Camaro rolls on dedicated track wheels and tires. This concept was constructed with input from Pratt and Miller, Chevrolet partner in Corvette Racing, and Riley Technologies using parts proven in the Grand Am racing series.-mb.com.ph
