And this was done by adding the engine sideways and making it front wheel drive. By making it low to the ground, it required small tyres with the added benefit of what became its most famous feature, its ability to stay on its 4 wheels just about all of the time no matter how fast you cornered due to being so low. This model is a credit to the maker especially with its engine and the incredible detail that has been added. This is a great little model, faithful to the original vehicle, and is great for any collector. Project Manager

< Back 2010 Camaro SS RS 18 - AV109 - 22 - 01 Chevrolet Camaro (fifth generation) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a pony car that was manufactured by American automobile manufacturer Chevrolet from 2010 to 2015 model years. It is the fifth distinct generation of the muscle/pony car to be produced since its original introduction in 1967. Production of the fifth generation model began on March 16, 2009 after several years on hiatus since the previous generation's production ended in 2002 and went on sale to the public in April 2009 for the 2010 model year. Camaro (2009-2015) Interior (automatic model) The Camaro was made available as a coupe in five different trim levels; the LS, 1LT, 2LT, 1SS, and 2SS. The LS and LT trim levels are powered by the 3,564 cc (217 cu in) GM LLT V6 engine having a power output of 312 hp (233 kW) at 6,400 rpm and 273 lb⋅ft (370 N⋅m) of torque at 5,200 rpm. The SS with manual transmission is powered by the 6.2 L (6,162 cc or 376 cu in) GM LS3 V8 engine rated at 426 hp (318 kW) at 5,900 rpm and 420 lb⋅ft (569 N⋅m) of torque at 4,600 rpm while the SS with automatic transmission is powered by a new variant of the LS3 called the GM L99 which produces 400 hp (298 kW) at 5,900 rpm and 410 lb⋅ft (556 N⋅m) of torque at 4,300 rpm. The L99 V8 engine, not to be confused with the earlier LT-series L99, uses Active Fuel Management which enables the engine to run on only four cylinders during urban driving conditions, such as highway cruising, to improve fuel economy. Other features include a fully independent four-wheel suspension system, variable-rate power steering, four-wheel disc brakes standard on all models (four-piston Brembo callipers on SS models), a StabiliTrak electronic stability/traction control system, Competitive/Sport modes for the stability system offered on SS models, launch control on SS models equipped with the six-speed manual transmission, and six standard airbags that include head curtain side-impact airbags and front seat-mounted thorax side airbags. An RS appearance package was available on LT and SS trim levels which included HID headlamps with integrated halo rings, a rear spoiler, and RS-specific taillamps and wheels.

The initial view that one gets, is that the model seems to be that looking at it is a very good constructed model. I guess what one first notices is that the gun metal colour gives it that early after the war look, that is as if the French had a large amount of this colour after the war. Not that there is anything wrong with the paintwork, because there's not. It may be strange, but the colour suits it very much. Straight away there's one point that I can see, and that the chrome on it could have been toned down, which may have given it a more genuine look. The body itself, is clean with no bubbling or cracking of the paint work. Paintwork on any model needs to checked when ever one gets a new model. It's surprising just how many models seem to be getting through quality control inspections with all types of imperfections. As any collector will know, such imperfections just simply makes that model look out of place within their collection. The body on our model 1952 Citroen C2 is in fact quite good. Its a simple d-door sedan with both doors opening wide that when closed show good gap clearance all around. The only other opening part is the bonnet, that also opens wide to show off the engine. Detail on the body is very good with the bumper bar on both back & front solid, and not like some models, it painted the same colour of the car. As commented above, the chrome part of the grill just seems a bit out of place being a little loud. The interior is quite realistic with ones first impression that the French seem to be believers that it's important to include only the basics in the vehicles. So on examining the images of the real 1952 Citroen C2, it clear what's in the model is what you got when you brought the real thing. The interiors plastic and looks authentic in regards to the seats in that they do not appear to be plastic when you look at it. Steering wheel and all gears with the tiny dash is able to be read. The engine compartment contains the engine and is very well made for the model. It is a very good representation of the actual engine with even finer details of not only the engine, but also displays other components like stearing and suspension details. A very well thought out model reconstruction. Over all, my impressions is a very well made model, that clearly displays every detail of the real 1952 Citroen C2. Apart from the perhaps over chroming of the front grill, at least for me, this would fit in to any collection. You may also if going through the Automobile section of the museum, you will also see we have a 1952 Citroen 15 V8. So I would give this model a 4.0/5.0. Robin Finlay 14/08/2022. Project Manager
