The recently-unveiled 2024 models will be the swansong of the Chevrolet Camaro series, as the bowtie brand has officially confirmed pulling the plug on it. That will happen next January when the nameplate will temporarily be put to sleep but fret not because the moniker will eventually return.
"While there is no immediate successor, this is not the end of the Camaro's story," Chevrolet announced earlier this year. You're probably curious about the next generation, and the truth is that no one with no direct ties to its development knows anything about it. Still, logic tells us that it will at least launch with battery-electric power.
It has been reported that it could morph into a four-door with an all-quiet powertrain (or more), and others speak of the Camaro being turned into a sub-brand that might comprise crossovers with two and four doors and a flagship sports model. The GM-owned company has also confirmed electric "low-roof entries" for the near future, and that term could apply to two-door coupes and convertibles, sports cars, and sedans.
Chevy seems interested in most body styles, bar a station wagon, and who can blame them? After all, not many new car buyers are willing to spend their hard-earned money on a low-slung model with five doors, as they'd rather get a crossover or an SUV instead. As a result, we can say that an estate version of the Camaro will never happen until the high-riding vehicle frenzy dies anyway. And by the looks of it, we won't see one in our lifetimes.
But while a five-door variant of the muscle car is a far stretch in the real world, it already exists in Fantasy Land. These renderings came from tuningcar_ps on Instagram, and imagine the model in two configurations. The white copy is a normal version of the Camaro, whereas the blue one is in the range-topping flavor that adds the ZL1 suffix, featuring a sportier design, larger wheels, beefier brakes, chassis enhancements, and a serious engine under the hood. The small block V8, a 6.2-liter supercharged mill, develops 650 hp and 650 lb-ft (881 Nm) of torque.
To come up with the new design, the rendering artist used the body of the five-door Chrysler 300. From here on, they proceeded to give it the same profile styling as that of the Camaro, joined by the face of the real muscle car. For a more serious presence, the chrome trim was blacked out entirely, and due to the obvious suspension modifications, the Camaro ZL1 wagon sits closer to the ground. If it's one thing that we're not fans of when it comes to this CGI redesign, it is the rear wing decorating the tailgate of the range-topper. Other than that, we think it looks good, and we'd consider buying one if they gave it a shot. But would you do that?
