2016 Chevrolet Camaro Spied in Tennessee

Pigeon Forge, Tennessee resident Bill Howell snapped a few pictures of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro and sent them to HotRod.com. From the looks of things, these ponies seem to be pre-production examples of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.

As a brief reminder, the golden bowtie carmaker already announced that May 16th is the day the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will be unveiled to the public. Until then, we’ve been offered with twelve teaser photographs you can admire right here.

First thing’s first, these ‘Maros all boast with two exhaust tips. Since the quad layout is reserved for the LT1 V8-powered 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS, we bet that the cars on hand are animated by either the 3.6-liter V6 or the 2-liter turbo inline-4.

The most heavily camouflaged 'Maro of them all is, as you can also tell by looking at its roof, the rag top variant. That’s expected to arrive as the 2017 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible later this year on in early 2016.

Anything else? Why yes! Apparently, the entry and mid-range engine options don’t feature the infamous two vents in the hood, which is a bit of a shame considering how wicked they look IRL.

As HotRod.com’s Nick Licata writes, Bill Howell asked engineers if they were planning on driving up the Dragon (the Tail of the Dragon has 318 curves scattered over a distance of 11 miles, it’s the US’ number one motorcycle and sportscar road), the man in charge would only offer up a ginger “we are here just testing.”
