Modern-Day Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z Rendered Once Again

Last month, we shared a fan-made digital rendering of a modern take on the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. The current-day interpretation of the liftback Camaro IROC-Z was interesting, as it blended old school styling with modern-day cues, but the artist forgot to share images of the rear end of the vehicle at the time.
Now the artist in question, Instagram’s Oscar V, has put the finishing touches on the rear end of his fictitious new Camaro IROC-Z. As we can see from his digital drawings, the car incorporates the same rectangular taillights as the third-generation Chevrolet Camaro, along with a similar flat, tray-style rear spoiler. The lower section of the rear fascia doesn’t really have the same vintage look as the rest of the vehicle, though, appearing very modern thanks to the large rear diffuser, huge trapezoidal exhaust tips and LED marker lights.
As we pointed out before, this modern take on the classic IROC-Z pulls heavy inspiration from the original thanks to its dual-segment headlamps, rectangular roofline/window openings and a reshaped rear window. Completing the package are a set of ‘IROC-Z’ gradient vinyl decals running alongside the driver and passenger side doors.
As a reminder, the IROC-Z package was introduced on the Chevrolet Camaro for the 1985 model year and was marketed as a handling-focused performance upgrade from the Camaro Z/28. With lowered suspension, Delco Bilstein shocks, thicker front and rear anti-roll bars, additional chassis bracing and some other small add ons, this Camaro IROC-Z was essentially the equivalent of the modern-day 1LE package. The IROC-Z trim was dropped after the 1990 model year and will likely never return, seeing as the International Race of Champions series that it got its name after was shut down back in 2006.
Let us know what you think of this modern Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z rendering down below.

If the Camaro survives it needs to open a new direction. The retro thing has been played out.
These retro ideas just are the easy way out. A new true model and direction is important now as most people the retro cars mean much too are not buying these cars anymore.
I am in favor of if there is no all new real Camaro coming then just park the name and preserve it for a model later worthy of the name. Please no Mach E models at GM. Give a new EV model its own name and own identity.
Maybe end the camaro nameplate for a while and make a new 2 door and 4 door muscle car on same platform ( charger, challenger ) that’s more practical??
It’s good to see the classic look they need to bring back the look of 1969 z28 that’s a real man’s car not these new f****** piece of s*** mostly plastic cars they need to come back out with a real man’s car not this mostly plastic pieces of junk car there coming out with these days and f u c8.r for saying that the new mostly plastic pieces of junk like better than the old 70s and 60s models not a real chevy guy so u have no rights to say anything about the new iroc camaro
He didn’t script the IROC on the bottom of the door bit would look good
The best cure to slow sales for a performance car is the addition of more power as Chevrolet should drop the 750 hp LT5 supercharged 6.2L V8 that was developed for the C7 Corvette ZR1 into the Camaro and allow it to be competitive with rivals.
I think this looks pretty good.
Drop the IROC add fog lamp that look like the 92 turn signals and build it. Everybody can’t afford horsepower Everybody can afford a nice looking car they can see out of with a hatch they can use better than the Unusable truck. Improve the car 1st to being the sales numbers up, then you have momentum and cash coming in to build a all new model
I drove an electric blue 1989 IROC Z L98 back in the day. The best car I ever owned. Quick, agile and reliable.
Bring back this and call it the Z28
Honestly I feel like this looks amazing compared to what we’ve had…. Dodge and Ford did better on their retrofits, but this would rival either with the right power plant and BRAND NEW INTERIOR DESIGN… Maybe Mary over at Chevy should take a look. With this look they could pull the drop top, T Tops and a Targa top off. Plus when you think of it this was the pony body that save face with the pony in the 80’s. I would pop the IROC and z28 models alone. If you get an outcry for a turbo v6 or something of the nature then go ahead. This should be done also because the IROC SERIES circuit is working its way back. I’m no genius but I owned a 84 z28 and a 89 IROC … And now I drive a 02 Z28 … Tell Chevy their logo is a BowTie it doesn’t mean bow down to Dodge and Ford…. You are the gentleman or lady with a Archangel type of prowess never bow only nod as you smash the pedal in glory LMAO… I know y’all feel me…
Dear god , NO.
GM gave up the rights to the ‘IROC’ label several years ago; a California accessories company currently owns it, so any chances of the marque returning to the Camaro—or any other car for that matter—are slim to none.
And since GM no longer sees fit to even bother to advertise Camaros these days, I’d say the carline is destined to fade into the past—again. I hear static on the interwebz, unsubstantiated of course, that GM plans to bring it back at some point in the future as an EV.
Goodbye SS and ZL1-1LE; it was nice while it lasted.
Wrong model brand makes for this forum!
This is terrible! It looks like it was designed in the 1990’s. I love the current Camero and this is 10 steps backwards.
Pretty cool camaro…a blend of the past with the present…and the future if its electric!
That’s way better looking than 2020
I love it.
Looks better than present camaro, have it 2 and 4 door such as Dodge and have the visibility better than present camaro.
I think it looks badass I only hope they bring it back.
Ditch the square tail lights and headlights and go with the round from the 70 rs Camaro. Then price it for $20,000. That’d make it sell
Please bring back the Iroc Z camaro. It’s a good car, & a classic.
It’s good to see the classic look they need to bring back the look of 1969 z28 that’s a real man’s car not these new f****** piece of s*** mostly plastic cars they need to come back out with a real man’s car not this mostly plastic pieces of junk car there coming out with these days
