General Motors has just announced a new special edition of the 2019 Chevrolet Camaro for the Russian market. Aptly called the Camaro Black Edition, the limited-edition model blacks out the muscle car front to back for a sinister appearance.
The Camaro Black Edition starts out with a black body, and then adds red decals on the front fenders and 20-inch wheels that are – you guessed it – also black. The Chevy Bow Ties are also black in the front and rear. Inside, the Camaro Black Edition features black seats with red accents to match the red hashmarks on the exterior.
Though the Camaro Black Edition features the front fascia of the face-lifted 2019 Camaro SS, it does not have any SS-level mechanicals under the hood. That’s because it’s powered by a detuned version of GM’s turbocharged 2.0L LTG engine mated to GM’s 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
In all other markets, the Camaro SS front fascia is not offered with the boosted four-banger, but is only offered with the naturally-aspirated 6.2L V8 LT1 engine. No matter, it takes the Camaro Black Edition a mere 5.9 seconds to complete the sprint to 60 mph front a standstill.
Other improvements to the 2019 Camaro include the addition of the controversial front end, which at least looks good with the black body by hiding that horizontal bar. Notably, that front end is getting massaged for the 2020 Camaro. There’s also an updated infotainment system in the form of the Chevrolet Infotainment System 3 with an all-new interface and faster speeds, and LED headlights with LED accent lights, which also serve as the daytime running lamps (DRLs).
The Camaro Black Edition starts at 3,315,000 Rubles, or $51,979 USD, at current conversion rates. Only 20 units will be sold in Russia. To our knowledge, this special edition Camaro will not be offered in any other market outside of Russia.
And for those who don’t like so much black with their Camaro, Chevy also has the Camaro Shock Edition.

Live to dream.. this webpage has said that the upcoming C8 Corvette will feature an updated LT2 6.2L OHV-2v V8 capable of 480-500 hp, imagine C7 Corvette or even Camaro sales if this updated LT2 was made available this pass year and is another example that General Motors CEO Mary Barra needs to be replaced.
As much as I loathe the 19 Camaro SS face, it looks mean in full blackout mode.
Imagine a Carbon edition.. with true carbon composite exterior body panels to drop the curb weight of the Camaro by a minimum of 500 lbs, even the base 275 hp LTG 2.0L DOHC-4v 4-cyl turbo would be like a rocket.
No wonder Ford Mustang is out performing GM and the Chevrolet Camaro. RIP Camaro.
Camaro SS with a 4 cylinder. Full size trucks with a 4 cylinder. No thanks.
Hmm. 0 -60 in 5.9 secs 2.0 l engine only 20 made for Russia and $51k. Russians are not THAT stupid. WTF GM!
LOL! My thoughts EXACTLY. Someone on these forums stated that if ford’s 5.0l is called the coyote, then GM’s 6.2 should be called the wolf. I guess if we could perhaps call the 3.6l the fox then we can call the 2.0l the rabid poodle, lol.
Bring back the Impala Premier, bring back Pontiac, bring back real fire breathing V-8’s, get rid of the BS 4 cylinder paperweights, fire Mary Barra, now you know how to be #1 again!!!
Yet another moronic comment from the “V-8 only” crowd of knuckle-draggers.
4 banger would be well suited for the girly types. Just needs to be more affordable.
A 4 cylinder should NEVER be in a muscle car.
Yeah, John, I can see your dumbass driving a Chevette thinking it’s a C-7 Vetted-Get a life idiot!
They need to bring back the T Tops, I had 3 Camaros with them love um. I wish I had t tops on the one I have now…… .
They can’t drive in Russia as it is and they’re gonna get a badass muscle car?? Crashing is a Russian tradition. Watch any car fail YouTube video. If GM wants to kill the Camaro, they’re giving it to the right people.
I can’t even…………………….
i wonder, is there anyway we (the enthusiast) can contact GM with our thoughts and concerns?
