2018 Chevrolet Yenko Camaro SC Stage II

This 2018 Chevrolet Yenko/SC Camaro is Build No. 1 of 25 produced by Specialty Vehicle Engineering, a long-time partner of General Motors in the production of specially modified, fully warrantied GM performance vehicles. In 1969, Pennsylvania Chevrolet dealer Don Yenko collaborated with Chevrolet Product Promotions Manager Vince Piggins to produce a limited run of special Camaros under the Central Office Production Order (COPO) program, comprising the iron-block Yenko 427 Super Camaro and the all-conquering, all-aluminum big-block-powered ZL1—the hairiest Camaro of the original muscle car era.

Flash forward to 2018, and the original Yenko Super Camaro is reborn in the SVE Limited Edition Yenko Camaro SC Stage II. Like the original Yenko ZL1 Camaros, the heart of this car is its all-aluminum V-8 engine, a custom-built piece based on the 6.2L LT1 V-8 first seen in the 2014 Corvette Stingray. Blueprinted, it packs a computer-balanced, racing-quality rotating assembly comprising a 4340 forged steel crank, H-beam connecting rods, forged aluminum pistons, CNC-ported high-flow cylinder heads, SVE’s proprietary High-Output Supercharger and an upgraded fuel system and injectors. Rated at 825 HP and 760 lb–ft of torque, this hand-built torque monster V-8 drives a 6-speed manual transmission with active rev matching that is backed by a limited-slip differential, producing sensational performance that must be experienced to be appreciated.
