Road and Track magazine has leaked a photo and video of the 2008/2009 Chevrolet Camaro Concept on its website. The car is due this week at the Detroit auto show. They’ve pulled their article on the car, which is believed to have been published prematurely. The official announcement is expected Sunday or Monday. We’ll keep you posted as this story develops. :woot: :woot:


What do you guys think of the design? Looks similar to the one posted before.


For once this is a concept that I don't think is hideous.

Not too bad.

If a LS2 is available and abides by a few other stipulations of mine, I'll eventually get one. I lke it a lot.

I want one :D

It's instantly recognizable as a Camaro, and has lots of classic Camaro styling themes without being overtly "retro". I like that GM has sought their own direction instead of just following, this time.

C&D ran their article on the Challenger...

I like it to a degree. I am more of a fan or the 80's and before camaros though. gettin a 1985 irco z tpi with flowmaster exaust and american racing outlaw 2 rims on it.

On the money!

I see some things I feel are stolen from Dodge and from Ford, but I think this is the best "retro-redeux" yet.

Of course, I might be a little biased since it is wearing a bow-tie.

Put a 502 in that thing please! It just screams "Big block!"

It looks a lot like a Cadillac XLR (only a heck of a lot less $'s) only the one pictured has a hard top

It looks like the 87 aero monte carlo had a love child with a cavalier...

eh its ok

I don't like it.

I mean, it's cool compared to most of the newer vehicles on the road, but I just don't like the looks of it.

If the rear lights were divided into 3, the top grill expanded vetically a tad, and remove the bottom grille, and move them closer, it'd look perfect.

Looks like a Monte Carlo. Seriously. It looks just like a 1986 Monte Carlo SS.

I'm really not a fan right now.

LOL i said the saaamme damn thing dude!!

The roof is too low, and too flat, but I think the rest of it is pretty decent. And I don't see how anyone can see "Monte Carlo" in that. Montes were always upright and formal looking.

These two cars do look half similar but, I think that the Camaro looks newer and easier to live with.

Just heard rumors that the new Camaro might get the new Z06 engine :D

That's a long shot. The LS2 is confirmed. And looking at the placement, it'll be ready for some roots action. The LS7 would just be the icing on the cake.

It reminds me of the New Mustang

The Camero will not get the Z's motor due to pricing issues. Then again, GM is making the "Blue Devil" Corvette for 2008 :rockon:

I think the Blue Devil will be the Corvette SS that should feature the LS9...a charged 6.x liter motor, I believe. The Nurburgring pics were THE Z06...which just means it's that much more ****ing awesome. :rockon:

They released a video on making the Camaro if anyone is interested in seeing it:

BTW, for Cyco's benefit, the new Camaro has IRS... :)

I am putting in my order as soon as I can.

:rockon:

i think that the camaro is just plain out going to kick ass but i think that the dodge challenger is going to give it a run for its money

BTW, I talked to the guy, Welburn, who was in charge of this thing. Pics are on my facebook if you're interested.

Talked to him about the "heritage forward" design..

Looks like the Camaro will make it overseas as well:

On the eve of GM's debut of the Camaro convertible, What Car? is reporting that both the iconic coupe and drop top variant will find their way to our friends in the UK.

According to the magazine's sources, both Camaros will be offered in right-hand drive and will recieve the LS2 6-liter 400HP V8, producing around 400 BHP. Sales will begin about the same time as us Yanks get our paws on the GM pony car, sometime in 2009, and will carry a price tag of around £30,000.
