We’ve already seen a handful of renderings of General Motors’ upcoming Alpha-based Mustang fighter, the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro. So far, unofficial concept drawings have shown a recognizable front fascia and body shape, but with modern contemporary design cues and sleek, sharp lines. This latest rendering cooked up by CarScoops is no exception, and is also one of the best new Camaro designs we’ve seen to date.
The artist’s inspiration for the design was taken from the razor sharp styling of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The front end follows Chevy’s current design language, wearing a two-tier grille with a larger lower section. Slim headlights are flanked by sculpted “C7-like” front fenders, complimented by a sharply styled, dynamic hood. Looking at the side reveals long swooping body lines, “pinched” rear haunches and the Camaro’s signature side vents. The rear of the car is not shown, but the designer says “the taillights sit flush under the crisp-edged shoulder-line, while also forming the top-edge of the shapely trunk lid.”
We could easily see the 2016 Camaro employing the futuristic, sharp design language depicted in this rendering. It is a good step forward from the current design, but remains instantly recognizable as a Camaro. The next-generation of Chevy’s pony car should arrive in time for the 2016 model year, meaning a debut at next year’s North American International Auto Show is in the realm of possibility. Until that time comes, bring on the renderings.

lol looks like they took care of the current car’s visibility problem
kidding aside, that looks pretty damn good, still has muscular lines but is very modern, which is good. it needs to ditch the strong retro vibe if they want it to be a sales success world-wide.
I like it but think the overall shape nose to front windshield etc. is a bit code 130r inspired.
I wish people here would let this go as CarScoops has no idea of what the car is going to be like. Just as all the others none have any idea. what is coming.
Lets put it this way I spoke to someone who has been involved with the Camaro program for years as an adviser and to this point they have not even been shown or told anything.
This car is more secret than the Nuke codes for the President.
So I wish web sites would lay off putting all these crazy ideas in peoples heads and distorting their expectations on what is really coming.
I know some are dreaming realistically but too many others take this too serious and are often disappointed when the car arrives in real world trim.
Let put It this way the new Camaro will be as much of a surprise as the Z/28 was in NY,
Just let GM finish the car and let it show it’s self for what it really is vs. these fantasies that will go no where.
Think you will be happy with the real thing. Keep in mind too that GM has to meet real world conditions and parameters with the car so it is not going to get too radical in a Lambo kind of way.
New Camaro unofficial concept doesn’t look like a Camaro any longer, will be a fiasco. For a new look better buy another car. The design changed that much that sales will drop like it did with the 4th Generation. Looks like a cheap Genesis. This change will kill the line again.
Think on this, younger people don’t have $60K+ to invest on a car, they invest on a house. People that remember the 60’s Camaro’s passed that information to their children’s, which at the same time grows wanting to have one. These kind of people are on the age of 1967+50 = year 2017, right now, their children’s are on the 30’s by year 2017 and they won’t buy another car like this for the rest of their life, so the Camaro future is at risk, if all these people buy another car, a Mustang, Japanese, European and now for a big surprise Korean.
I was going to purchase a 2015 model, hoping some improvements, because current 2014 Camaro is the same as 2013 but the rear style, but now I won’t buy, knowing that there is coming a new model. If the new model is this ugly and cheap looking, then I will purchase another sport car, may be a Mustang with the most power and luxury to offer, which still remains with a retro look.
My list of the improvements the Camaro must have to improve, these are the things that if the Camaro improve I will go directly to buy one anywhere they have one:
1. Radio, should be 8″ screen, have mini HDMI, good tactile feedback, DVD but better a Blu Ray slot, full support for iPhone 5 & Android and newest, Accessible USB, and Aux. (3mm plug), should be internet capable with apps. Should have rear and front view cameras.
2. Should be a little smaller, but not too much, passengers space should be similar to a Toyota Avalon (5 persons), good trunk space, the trunk door should allow easy access to its interior. 60/40 Split rear seat.
3. The spoiler should be a real spoiler, raised, like a plane wing, not a cheap plastic strip or squash down one. The spoiler is a very important car feature.
4. The engine for the ZL1 should be at least a LS7 with 600+ Horsepower, 0-60 in less than 3.5 secs. a real sturdy one. All aluminum 6.2L engine is a bad design. The Heads Bolts strip the threads under heavy accelerations loosing out the head, a lost for the owner.
5. The Z28 is a fiasco, a stripped down, no luxury items, forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just for a few racers. Road and Engine sound gets into the cabin, that’s not acceptable for any car. With it GM/Chevrolet will go to bankruptcy.
6. The car sound should roar when at idle and accelerating but once it exceeds the 40mph should be completely silent so you can enjoy music and talk to your passengers. Better, design something to mute the muffler sound or make it louder at will.
7. Music system should have 500+ watts, very good sound. A car with a mediocre sound is very disappointing and discourage buying.
8. Current version of the Camaro is too low riding, easy to scratch with any small road bumps. It is now common seen the lower front end of the cars all scratched, too bad. Should have front & rear park assist sensors to protect spoilers. Should have a pressurize height adjustment so when you need to get in old style Cities or a business or house driveway you can rise the height of the Car and not scratching its underthings.
9. Also very important should have dead zone sensors with feedback on the side mirrors and inside console, so you can drive more relax and safely.
10. Current options should continue; carbon fiber; should be available on good leather, not synthetic, the color HUD. Mag wheels should be triple chrome treated, the black ones are pretty ugly. Polished Aluminum requires a lot of maintenance or clear painting. We want something that out shines with very good durability and easy cleaning (Chrome).
11. Should have stainless steel exhaust system with headers. Turbo is a bad idea, keep the Supercharger.
Dude get a life. Go buy a smart car and super charge it. You have business being on a Chevrolet site. People that love muscle cars buy them for the massive engine, the roar and if it was still the 70’s the smell of gasoline.
We want muscle cars..not Euro/Asian designs..this is directed at Edi….
Though the z28 is overpriced, a lot of us old school muscle cars lovers don’t want all the gadgets and geegaws these new cars are infested with.
The sound of a redlined Camaro is music to our ears.
There should be more flexibility in ordering these cars.
While some may like navigation systems, others think they’re just added weight and something that will need to be fixed or replaced.
If you have gas, you ain’t lost, just keep driving and you’ll figure out where you are.
All the gadgets just add weight, complicate things, and increase costs of purchase/maintainance.
Let those of us who don’t like/want/need these systems buy just the performance. Offer more basics, let the buyer decide how they want their car equipped, but not at the Z28 price tag.
Beautiful design for the new 2016 Camaro.
I will like something like that in my garage, following the line of the great looking late stingray.
