1968 was a good year for the Camaro. Aside from a few styling updates such as the government-mandated side marker lights, the pony car from Chevrolet was also treated to multi-leaf rear springs on high-performance models and a staggered mounting for the rear shock absorber to eliminate wheel hop.
Through the COPO program, the automaker has also produced the only Z/28 convertible of its time. In the suck-squeeze-bang-blow department, the 1969 model year brought forward the big-block L72 and ZL1 engines.
The 7.0-liter leviathans were nothing short of breathtaking for that era, but neither powerplant has anything on the V8 that protrudes through the hood of the rendering in the photo gallery. Penned by Bellevue-based Spy The Designer, the pixel art features velocity stacks and a two-tone color scheme.
As if the engine wasn’t spectacular enough, the car is further treated to the mother of widebody kits, a ginormous rear aerodynamic diffuser, as well as matte-black racing stripes going over the bolt-on ducktail spoiler. A pair of fender louvers up front and LED lighting on all four corners are also featured.
Given the track of the rear axle, it’s pretty much impossible to modify a life-sized Camaro to the extent of this rendering. On the other hand, it’s easy to imagine this pony-turned-muscle car in Cyberpunk 2077 or a similar media franchise as long as it’s techy, edgy, and takes place in the dystopian future.
On a somewhat related note, General Motors has yet to confirm or deny the rumor according to which the Gen 7 program has been canceled. The hearsay started in June 2019 with “multiple sources within General Motors,” and even though the seventh-gen was in the initial stages of development, it looks like the American automaker is willing to let the Mustang kick it out alone.
If the rumor turns out to be true, then the year 2023 would be the second time Chevrolet has pulled the plug on the Camaro. Between the fourth and fifth generations, the Ford Mustang’s nemesis was on a 7-year hiatus.
