GM has announced plans to invest $175 million into the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant to gear up for production of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
The facility improvements include three new paint systems for Camaro-specific colors: Summit White, Bright Yellow and Red Hot. The investment also includes installation of two robotic framers, which allow better dimensional control to provide a more precise drive experience.
"With this investment in tooling and equipment, we will continue to do our part to build on the high-quality reputation of this iconic car," said GM North American Manufacturing Manager Scott Whybrew. "These investments in the Lansing plants are proof of the teams’ quality commitment, to put the customer at the center of everything we do!"
As a small reminder, the 2016 Camaro will go on sale later this year and be offered with three different engines including:
- A turbocharged 2.0-liter 4-cylinder with 275 hp and 400 Nm of torque
- A 3.6-liter V6 with 335 hp and 385 Nm of torque
- A 6.2-liter V8 with 455 hp and 617 Nm of torque
