Chevrolet identifies Wild Cherry Design Packages and 10-speed automatic availability on SS and ZL1 1LE as new. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included in the infotainment range.

This is the first model year in which Chevrolet advertised SS 1LE with the 10-speed automatic.

The powertrain and identification notes below preserve configuration and model-year boundaries rather than treating every 2021 Camaro alike. Ratings use the measurement convention of their period, and visual cues are only a starting point: the VIN, factory labels, drivetrain identifiers, and surviving documentation should agree.

Why it matters

This is the first model year in which Chevrolet advertised SS 1LE with the 10-speed automatic.

Engines

  • The output ladder remains 275-hp turbo four, 335-hp V6, 455-hp LT1/SS, and 650-hp ZL1.

Identification

  • Wild Cherry packages combine Wild Cherry Tintcoat with polished forged 20-inch wheels, black hash marks, package badges/trim, and—in Package 2—carbon-look fuel door, ground effects, and center stripe. VIN position 10 is M.

Open questions

Still unresolved:
  • Document late-year supply constraints and retrofit history from GM bulletins before making individual-car completeness claims.
