High Performance Aerodynamics Highlight Changes For 2019 IROC-Z Camaro Review
The 2019 IROC-Z Camaro represents the most significant redesign since the introduction of the IROC-Z as a concept car in 2016.
"The 2019 IROC-Z is our opportunity to apply what we have learned listening to our customers, and our continuing development of high-performance models," said Tom Walter, "We look for solutions that are both functional and beautiful so that the result is genuine IROC-Z - simple, powerful, honest, and more than expected."
Compared to the previous IROC-Z model, the design represents a strong visual change front and rear, resulting in a wider, lower, more contemporary appearance. The front fascia features a wider lower opening, and a narrower upper opening that also updates the appearance of the iconic "LED ring" HID headlamps on the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro package. The functional hood vent on the IROC-Z Camaro helps reduce heat and aerodynamic lift. Moving to the rear, the sculptural deck lid, horizontal lamps and diffuser complete the powerful statement.
The 2019 IROC-Z Camaro also features a full aerodynamic package designed to produce downforce at track speeds. At the front, the 2019 IROC-Z features a large splitter, connected to an underbody panel that further reduces lift. In profile, the IROC-Z features fender flares over the front and the rear wheels, as well as extended rocker panels that contribute to aerodynamic stability. An aggressive rear spoiler and functional diffuser complete the aerodynamic package.
On the interior, the 2019 IROC-Z features trim in a distinctive, matte-metallic finish named Octane, the IROC-Z flat-bottomed steering wheel, and standard Recaro seats with microfiber suede inserts. The new seats (also available on the coupe version of the IROC-Z model), feature aggressive bolsters for high-performance driving, as well as seat cut outs inspired by the five-point harnesses found on racing seats. To save weight, both front seats incorporate manual adjustment.
The rear seats of the 2019 IROC-Z have also been modified for weight reduction. A total of nine pounds (four kilograms) was saved by eliminating the seat-back pass through, as well as using high-density foam in place of the rigid structure of the seat back and steel mesh of the seat bottom.
‘’We felt it was important to keep the 2+2 configuration of the 2019 IROC-Z by modifying the construction of the rear seat, we were able to reduce the overall weight of the IROC-Z while still preserving the flexibility of 2+2 seating."
