"Why would anybody come up with a mid-engined Chevrolet Camaro?" one might rightfully ask. For starters, we're dealing with a rendering here, and this sort of digital dreams has taken over the internet, putting the thoughts of so many gearheads into pixels. However, there's more to this image.
We're basically dealing with a face swap here - this rendering sees the C8 Chevrolet Corvette receiving the front end of the current, sixth-gen Camaro. And since the SS incarnation of the latter has received an unfortunate 2019 facelift, which was then addressed via the 2020 revamp, it's only natural to see this stunt featuring the cleaner, meaner ZL1 Camaro.
Nevertheless, perhaps the most important side of the pixel painting is that it makes us think of the golden bowtie's pony/muscle car future - helmet tip to digital label tuningcar_ps for this eye candy.
Last year, a series of reports talking about the demise of the Camaro emerged, unsurprisingly causing quite a stir. Fortunately, the summer of 2019 saw new reports emerging, with these showing that the badge won't be retired.
Instead, it seems that the seventh generation of the Chevrolet Camaro has been delayed, albeit without a clear schedule being provided. And since the first wave of stories mentioned 2023 as the final year, the newcomer will hopefully land just in time.
And while some might imagine that this expected delay is not the best path for the badge, this isn't necessarily the case. For instance, the Dodge Charger and Challenger, which have been with us since the late 2000s, have proven that you can teach an old dog new muscle tricks. For one, Chevy could always introduce the Z/28 version of the present Camaro.
Meanwhile, the said Dodge brothers are expected to soldier on until 2023, while the next iteration of the Ford Mustang, which uses the S650 codename, is set to land in 2022, coming to market as a 2023 model.
