We’ve already seen the all-new, sixth-generation 2016 Chevy Camaro in the 2.0-liter turbo, V6, and SS V8 guises. But what we have yet to see is the track-focused Z/28 variant. Heck, a Z/28 version of the gen six Camaro hasn’t even been confirmed yet, but that hasn’t stopped GM Authority rendering artists from penning a (2017 or 2018 model year) Chevy Camaro Z/28, which would keep the tradition of a Camaro made with the principal purpose of dominating on the track.
Notable elements:
- Huge, high-performance carbon-ceramic brakes
- Lightweight wheels wrapped in ultra-sticky high-performance tires
- Aggressive aero components, including:
- Prominent hood extractor
- Beefy front splitter and side sills
- Front brake cooling ducts instead of those fancy LED accent lights
- The infamous Flowtie
- Proficient rear spoiler and diffuser
Not pictured:
- Potent powertrain
- Capable suspension system
- No-frills, track-focused interior
- Perfect 50/50 weight distribution
- Dominating performance, exhilarating driving experience thanks to a lighter, more nimble, and more responsive vehicle over the fifth-gen Z/28
The end result is a light, capable, and formidable track terror that is the gen six Camaro Z/28. Our only question is, do you like what you see?

Why don’t we wait for the real thing vs. these wild guesses with non specific items?
You may just be surprised at what you left out.
FYI per what I have learned the hood is not even close unless they have changed it. Might move the vents to one on each side of the hood to the front.
Because waiting is no fun, Debbie Downer.
Honestly i would like to see the new z/28 setup with a DOHC 302ci V8, 10-speed DCT transmission and 7-speed manual, a more mid length tri-y header and mid-mounted mufflers. Styling wise i feel the car should have a slight cowl hood, duckbill style spoiler with a gurney lip, slight ground effects for aerodynamics, under body panels with a rear diffuser. Obviously standard brembo brakes, and upgraded version of the current Z/28 suspension and the interior should be a full interior with stereo, navigation, HUD, alcantara steering wheel, shift knob, shift boot, e brake handle and boot along with Recaro seats. I feel like a stripped down version (IROC-Z) should be offered as well. The ZL1 should be a DOHC 427ci V8 with a TVS supercharger, 10-speed DCT and 8-speed Auto, tuned mid length header, magnetic ride suspension based off the current ZL1 but better and a more luxurious cabin environment with a wood grain trim package. the concept sketch with the yellow and black ZL1 concept with the scoops and spoiler would be a perfect exterior design
Well, as a former GM customer who traded in his 1986 IROC for a 1991 Mustang 5.0L hatchback, I’m curious to see what they will offer for drivetrains. As it is, I REALLY liked a rendering I saw elsewhere that had a 20″ version of the original IROC “Hammer” rims AND T Tops! Whatever happened to those???
