Entering the Chevrolet Camaro in Australia’s leading touring car range was GM’s greatest confidence in its pony car. In addition, the Z / 28 allegedly canceled, and from June 2019 plans to kill the Camaro completely in 2023. However, the emphasis is on the past time, as a new report from the Land Down Under indicates the current Camaro may rather stay afloat until 2026.
This development comes via Australia’s Which car, which “understands” the cancellation of the pony car, has been postponed until 2026. By this stage, both competitors of the Camaro city center are expected to be redesigned, with the Mustang allegedly moving to an Explorer-derived in 2022. architecture, and the Challenger / Charger to an updated platform in 2023, all three offer hybrid power. As GM has given the Camaro a halt to performance as reported, it could be an attempt to sue buyers less interested in hybrid drivetrains than the Camaro’s traditional combination of a V8 and a manual gearbox.
GM may also cover the other end of the sports car spectrum, with an unspecified driver quoted in June 2019 confirming that a two-door mainstream sports car for Chevrolet ‘is part of future GM plans for electric vehicles’. The sports car may look more like the Camaro than the Ford Mach-E with the Mustang, with former Camaro engineer Al Oppenheiser overseeing GM’s EV development from 2018, a role in which he will be developing the GMC Hummer of 1 000 horse strongly affected.
Although we contacted GM for a statement on the future of the Camaro, a Chevrolet spokesman had nothing to offer, refusing to ‘speculate on possible announcements about the product timing’. In other words, do not expect loyalty to the Camaro unless sales reach their 2020 trend and find momentum again. That’s the question, without any clear Z / 28 to rekindle hype.
