Meet "Klaus" - an overseas export version Chevrolet Camaro =)
The Camaro internet forums have known about this for almost two years............but I guess I'll share it here (especially for those that don't know)
Meet "Klaus" - an overseas export version Chevrolet Camaro =)
What you basically see here is the kind of specification that is seen on Camaros that are exported outside of North American territory. In short, these specification of Camaros are mainly for the European Union markets as well as for Middle East markets and some Asia Pacific territories. =)

Seems to be all stuff that would make US versions better....LED tails, breakaway side mirrors with turn signal repeaters, headlight washers....but what the heck is the point of those rear flares that only stick out like 1/4", and not at all at the bottom where the tire is actually exposed??

United Nations Economic Commission for Europe - World Forum for Harmonization of Vehicle Regulations
[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_Economic_Commission_for_Europe"[/url]
[url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECE_Regulations"[/url]
These regulations are STRICTLY observed and followed by the EU government and is enforced upon all EU Member states.
For instance, the point that you raised may fall under ECE Regulation 30..........which states that "the tire must not exceed the width of the vehicle"
Then of course for HEADLAMPS, these fall under ECE Regulation 48
Headlamp Leveling System
Internationalised ECE Regulation 48, in force in most of the world outside North America, currently specifies a limited range within which the vertical aim of the headlamps must be maintained under various vehicle load conditions; if the vehicle isn't equipped with an adaptive suspension sufficient to keep the headlamps aimed correctly regardless of load, a headlamp leveling system is required.[18] The regulation stipulates a more stringent version of this antiglare measure if the vehicle has headlamps with low beam light source(s) that produce more than 2,000 lumens – xenon bulbs and certain high-power halogens, for example. Such vehicles must be equipped with headlamp self-leveling systems that sense the vehicle's degree of squat due to cargo load and road inclination, and automatically adjust the headlamps' vertical aim to keep the beam correctly oriented without any action required by the driver.
Headlamp Lens Cleaners
Dirt buildup on headlamp lenses increases glare to other road users, even at levels too low to reduce seeing performance significantly for the driver. Therefore, headlamp lens cleaners are required by ECE Regulation 48 on vehicles equipped with low-beam headlamps using light sources that have a reference luminous flux of 2,000 lumens or more. This includes all HID headlamps and some high-power halogen units. Some cars have lens cleaners fitted even where the regulations do not require them. North America, for example, does not use ECE regulations, and FMVSS 108 does not require lens cleaners on any headlamps, though they are permitted.

In the Philippines (in general), owning any kind of automobile in itself is definitely a luxury..........and a number of poor and marginalized Filipinos see ownership of an automobile as *a* way of escaping and uplifting themselves from poverty.

Most of the differences are mostly exterior
And the rest are just modifications with the radio, removal of Onstar (since Onstar is a North America only thing), a modified fuel system and the FE4 Suspension Package is a standard on all overseas models.
Other than that, it's pretty much the same =)
