The addition of a pair of turbochargers sees the Camaro SS’ 6.2L V8 churn out 600hp (448kW) at the wheels

Hot on the heels of the 800hp (597kW) tuned Camaro from Lingenfelter comes another hotted up version of the rejuvenated muscle car that's set to do battle on the black top this June. The latest tuned Camaro is based on the range-topping SS and picks up a pair of GTK350 turbochargers for an estimated output of 600hp (448kW) – at the wheels.

The car is being developed by Artisan Performance in conjunction with Turbochargers.com, and the completed car will be sold as a ‘turn-key’ package for $69,000. You may remember Artisan as the company behind last year’s turbocharged IS-F SEMA show car, and the plan is to use the same tuning principles on the Lexus for the new Camaro SS.

Some of the upgrades include a high-flow exhaust system with a race-spec catalytic converter, a custom intercooler and wastegate, and an obligatory ECU upgrade to handle the fuel mapping and boost control necessary for turbocharged cars.

To make sure its package really stands out from the crowd, Artisan will also be adding pumped guards both front and rear, 21in forged alloy wheels (optional 22in wheels will be offered too), 14in SSBC brakes, a new lip spoiler and an integrated rear diffuser.
