Did you know that in 2010, General Motors sold more cars in China than it did in America? In fact, the Chinese automobile market now outpaces the American car market by several million vehicles annually, and GM is one of the biggest players in this rapidly emerging market. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the General is bringing one of its most popular cars, the Chevy Camaro, to China.

Autoblog reports that GM has even given the Chinese Camaro an appropriately Chinese name, “Ke Mai Luo.” However, the cost for the V6 version should raise more than a few eyebrows.

And what, pray tell, does Ke Mai Luo mean in Mandarin? Well actually, it’s the phonetic way of saying Camaro. So it’s still a Camaro, just spelled differently. This will be the first American muscle car for sale in China, though we’re not sure if it will come with the traditional American muscle power.

GM only mentions that the Camaro will come with the 3.6 liter V6 with 312 horsepower on tap. It could be that the recent engine size tax China is applying to new automobiles has them reconsidering the huge 6.2 liter V8 engine. Then again, it could be that there won’t be much of a market for the V8 engine, as the base V6 Chevy Ke Mai Luo will cost $76,267, or 500,000 Chinese Yuan. Yikes. That’s a lot of money no matter which way you cut it.
