Widebody Classic Chevy Camaro Is Pure Fire, Too Bad It's Not Real

If there is one thing General Motors would want you not to ask, it is any question about the next Camaro. You see, Chevy ended the assembly of the sixth generation back in December, and so far, they haven't mentioned its successor at all.
The automotive giant swears we will hear from this moniker in the future, albeit it is unknown in what shape. The most logical approach would be to continue the muscle car saga. After all, Ford has a new-gen Mustang out, which currently comes with a four-pot EcoBoost and a Coyote V8, and Dodge's next Charger is supposedly less than a month away from debuting.

The upcoming Dodge Charger (name unconfirmed) is expected to have pure electric power to take the muscle car to the next chapter and should also feature internal combustion mills. Thus, if it wants to stay competitive, a hypothetically new Chevrolet Camaro would also need both, and it should be very darn fast in its range-topping form, as the Stellantis-owned brand claims the top-of-the-line EV will be quicker than Hellcats.

Despite leaving the muscle car world, the sixth-gen Chevy Camaro can still be bought with only the delivery miles. One doesn't necessarily have to search the used car market to find one, as there are still numerous copies in dealer lots. This is why the model is still listed on the official US website with an MSRP south of the $31,000 mark, excluding destination.

The price tag applies to the base 1LT, with its 335-horsepower 3.6L V6 engine. The most affordable V8-powered model is the LT1 with a 455 hp 6.2L unit, which kicks off at $38,800. The most sought-after version of the range is the ZL1, which uses a supercharged 6.2-liter V8. The mill produces an impressive 650 horsepower and comes with a standard six-speed manual or an optional six-speed automatic transmission. The MSRP of a 2024 ZL1 is $72,100.

Nevertheless, this story isn't about the sixth-generation Camaro but one of the older iterations, which was recently visited by the tuning fairy in the digital realm. This means it is as fake as that widebody design that we absolutely dig. The car sports massive fender flares, rides on ultra-fat wheels wrapped in rubberband tires, and features uprated brakes, a retuned suspension, and a few other bits and bobs.

The lighting units at both ends were modified, and it has privacy windows all around. The entire exterior sports a gray look; the wheels are black, and the brake calipers are red. We would support such a project as it does justice to the model, so hopefully, someone sees these digital illustrations and decides to take a similar approach regarding their ride. But do you like them, too?
