The Coming of the New Chevrolet Camaro

Though it hasn’t even entered production yet, the new Chevrolet Camaro Concept has become one of the most talked about cars in the American car industry. The Camaro line of cars has been in production since 1967 and was only discontinued in 2002, an impressive production span of 35 years.

Ever since the Chevrolet Camaro was discontinued in 2002, fans of the Camaro have been waiting impatiently for the new Chevrolet Camaro to be released. So far, GM has only introduced a number of new Chevrolet Camaro concept cars. A new Chevrolet Camaro production car still has not materialized. Reports, however have indicated that a line of new Chevrolet Camaro cars will be coming out by 2010. If this prediction actually comes true, this will be the fifth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro.

The first signal of the coming of a new Chevrolet Camaro first came out in 2006, during the North American International Auto Show. This concept version of the new Chevrolet Camaro tries hard to follow the footsteps of the original Camaro, featuring such iconic details as a two doors, four passenger format, rear wheel driven and connected to a powerful engine. The new Chevrolet Camaro also takes advantage of new car technologies, sporting a four wheel independent suspension system, four wheel disc brakes featuring four piston calipers and 14 inch rotors and different sized front and rear wheels. The front wheels are 21 inch wheels while the rear wheels are 22 inch wheels. The engine is an 6 litre LS2 V8 featuring Active Fuel Management and acapable of 400 hp.

In 2007, a new Chevrolet Camaro Concept was also unveiled. While the model shown in 2006 was a two door coupe, the 2007 model was a two door convertible. The design of the new Chevrolet Camaro Concept of 2007 differed significantly from the 2006 Chevrolet Camaro Concept. The 2007 concept car featured a number of exterior changes which ultimately subtly reshaped the car. A few of the changes include a drop off of the fender lines, reshaping of the rear spoiler and a redesign of the wheels which received a thin orange line at the outer edge. The mechanical specs of the car still remains similar with the model released in 2006, however.

The introduction of the new Chevrolet Camaro Concept has severely excited the car markets. The new Chevrolet Camaro received a lot of exposure in the media and even received spots in several movies.
