It is 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 3.6 L (3,564 cc/217 cu in) GM LLT V6 producing 304 hp (227 kW) at 6400 rpm and 273 lbf·ft (370 N·m) at 5200 rpm.

The SS with manual transmission is powered by the 6.2 L (6,162 cc/376 cu in) GM LS3 V8 producing 426 hp (318 kW) at 5900 rpm and 420 lbf·ft (570 N·m) at 4600 rpm while the SS with automatic transmission is powered by a new variant of the LS3 called the GM L99 which produces 400 hp (300 kW) at 5900 rpm and 410 lbf·ft (560 N·m) at 4300 rpm.

This new L99 V8, 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 light-load driving conditions, such as highway cruising, to improve fuel economy.
