The Chevy Monte Carlo is one of those nameplates that conjures quite a few memories for some General Motors fans. Produced for six generations in on-again, off-again style between 1970 and 2007, the Monte Carlo sought to combine slick two-door styling and a comfortable cabin with a thrilling experience behind the wheel. The question is this – what would a modern Chevy Monte Carlo look like?
To find out, digital automotive designer wb.artist20 applied the design cues of the old-school Chevy Monte Carlo SS G-body to a current Chevy Camaro, and the result is the rendering you see here.
“If you’re getting Camaro vibes than you would be correct since that’s what I used as the base!” wb.artist20 writes.
Indeed, there are quite a few components to this rendering that remind us of the Camaro – for example, the squared-off headlamps and lower grille insert are quite familiar.
That said, wb.artist20 did more than just add a few nips and tucks to the Camaro and call it a day. The proportions are also longer and chunkier, with an upright rear pillar adding to the flat rear deck. We also like the restyled upper grille section reminiscent of the old Chevy Monte Carlo SS. The paint is done in black, while red striping was added down the flanks and hood.
We’ve seen wb.artist20’s work before, including a modern Chevy Suburban with retro cues, a full-size modern Chevy Blazer, and a modern Pontiac Aztek rendered on top of a 2021 Chevy Trailblazer, not to mention a modernized third-gen Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z. Per usual, this modern Chevy Monte Carlo looks on point.
Of course, we still want to know – does this new Monte Carlo capture your attention? Post what you think in the comments, and make sure to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevrolet Monte Carlo news, Chevrolet news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Raise the roof about 2 inches and lose the slope entirely. Wish they still built cars this size and style.
Very cool design!
As a former Chevy owner too, I agree with Former Chevy Owner.
Just stop this waste of time on coupes that never will be and start to render things that will matter like a Bronco fighter.
You can only copy a Camaro so many ways and it will still not sell.
Still better than a Ford poontang.
Using the Alpha platform as a starting point, this could be developed and brought to production within 240-30 months; but vehicles like this will depend on who wins in November because it’s DOA if Biden wins as the transition to electricity could be moved forward to 2028 or sooner and spending money to develop this vehicle would be a waste of money unless it’s a EV.
Which i hope biden will lose hard.
Because Trump winning has done so much for GMs quest to build cars people want.
Stop peddling this nonsense.
He isn’t the CEO of the failed car company.
Another dumb Trump supporter. Is there anything funnier than a billionaire convincing poor people they should pay taxes when he doesn’t. But yeah, lets use those tax dollars for another round of golf.
GN the reality is you can raise cooperate taxes but the companies don’t pay them. You know who does? You and I. Companies pass the taxes on in higher cost of products just as they do with the higher min wage.
That money if not taxes often gets rolled over and invested in the company to increase profits and more profits creates more jobs more jobs create more taxes that do not get passed on.
You should not have skipped the economics classes.
That’s not true and thanks to Trump we know this. Trump’s massive corporate tax cuts did not lower the price of goods nor did it spur hiring or even as promised keep jobs in america. You know what it did? Enabled stock buy backs to raise stock prices. Those corporate tax cuts 2 years ago only benefited stock holders. Not consumers or employees. Google it. Do your research. Don’t take my word for it. Trump even acknowledge this and said it upset him and made a rule that any company taking covid loans or bailouts this year would be barred from stock buy backs.
Having said that I don’t know what your reply has to do with the fact that Trump doesn’t pay taxes and us poor folk pay 20%. If you accept that or make excuses for why Trump should be allowed to not pay taxes then you’ve been played. Just another sucker.
What are you smoking?
Inflation was flat. Unemployment was at record lows till parts of the country shut down totally due to local governors and mayors.
The stock holders that benefited were mostly the average people with 401ks invested in the markets.
Trump is a corporation not a person. Just like Warren Buffet who pays little tax just as Bill Gates who pays little tax.
The laws have been on the books for years and they just use how it is written. If you don’t like it you should vote against the people who wrote the laws the last 47 years working as a Senator. Even he knows it is a bad move. He will say anything to get elected.
Well the money I made on my 401k was great the last 3.5 years. If we get 4 more like it I should be set for retirement early.
FYI Google it? Are you a believer that if it’s on the web it is true. Get an education as you my friend are being played for a fool.
SUPPORT PUTIN. VOTE REPUBLICAN. Keep paying those taxes. Daddy needs a new jet.
You’re an idiot lemming by the way how do like the job your creepy uncle joe is doing????????? What’s that????
Says the dumb Biden supporter.
GN-He’s never convinced poor people like yourself that they should pay taxes. He and people like me use Subchapeter S-created by democrats and republicans for a reason-smartly implement it to limit our PERSONAL tax obligation and FICA etc. He’s paid more in taxes through qualified dividends than you could pay in 100 lifetimes.
Furthermore 10% of the taxpayers pay over 70% of the federal taxes. 50% of the taxpayers pay ZERO.
Obama used tax dollars to play several rounds of golf daily. Michelle spent more money on travel than any other first lady. Did you ever post that?
That looks so Bad Ass
Including this present 2017 SS Camaro, I have owned six of them. And, three Montes. Both have strong and weak points. I am sure the WB.Artist20’s rendering of the Monte would include a larger trunk. The SS 2017 is a very difficult trunk to work with.
In addition, it is my hope that WB.Artist20 would include a coat hook above the side window when designing the interior.
I want one !!!
Raise the roof. Literally. I’m not going to buy a chop top car.
GN, you’re politically lost. Quit using GN as a name… and as for EV, there is no “real” energy type safer than one another, each has an issue with mother earth.
Nothing but complainers and if you think the new new green deal manifesto isn’t going to change our business, better read it…go to Biden’s website. He’s denying what he, Bernie, and AOC, agreed too in writing. It’s on his website.
Anyway, I owned a 1976 v8 and 2006 v8 Monte SS and enjoyed each but the 06 was really nice.
Nice rendering but agree with most ,raise the roof line, extend the rear window with a nice flow out back. Show the rear.
Why bother? Cause you can use photoshop!
For the near future Coupes and Sedans are dead except for the Corvette and the Camaro.
The fact is Mary wants huge profits from SUV’s and Crossovers. Nobody is buying Coupe or Sedans in large quantities. Why becUse they became to Small and to Expensive. GM has been running a race with the German Brands and at the same time the Japanese and Koreans are eating there lunch. The visions of a modern Monte Carlo are dead. There were far to many attempts to recreate the demand that exist in the early 70’s. People that were buying muscle cars and personal luxury cars pretty much died with the second generation Monte Carlo. The Camaro, Mustang, and the Challenger are being mainly being bought by baby boomers as is the Corvette. They are expensive and are not capturing Millennials in any large quantities. They are buying Japanese and Korean brands. Priced cheaper. Just like Cadillac is getting it’s ass handed to GM by the Germans, Japanese, and Koreans. Preston Tucker predicted this back at the end of WWII.
Oh look, another rendering by a graphics student. How original. Don’t you have anything real to write about other than college kids fantasy.
Do college kids fantasize about old RWD coupes? I assumed this was more for the 50 and older crowd.
I agree the roof is short. It’s like my 2015 Camaro. I’m 5’6 and it’s too close. That’s said she’s beautiful and makes me think of the best year ever Monte 1970.
Still too much Camaro and not enough Monte Carlo.
So let’s take an 80s roof design ruin it even more by scaling it way off and sticking onto a modern design car. Try to add a couple more 80s features here and there. Another one of many rendering FAILS! Maybe the hardest to look at yet. How is this horrible rendering even up for opinion or discussion. Why am I even leaving a comment.
A modern Camarlo would be very nice. Don’t forget the 5.5 Litre TT engine. Bring it up to speed. Let the Bow tie people show Blueoval they can do it!
More fugly cars from GM. Fire the hacks designing these ugly piles. As a life long GM guy, I can’t convey the disappointment I’ve felt for all the crap that’s been put out the last few years. Aside from the c8 vette, the entire Chevy lineup is hideous. I bought a new ’19 2500hd because the 2020 was so awful looking.
Oh yeah….STOP putting that black pasty crap on the truck frames. It wears off and the frame rusts…..not to mention you get covered in that slop every damn time you touch the underside.
This is literally just a random guy on Instagram.
How about some t tops
I used to have a 1978 monte carlo with
T tops low rider it was a Bad ass
I imagine how the new one would look
Like.
Sorry, I think designers are over using the Camaro platform. The styling does not hit the mark. The first Monte Carlo’s had much more class. This one looks like a cheap stick on.
Ill currently keep my Monte Carlo thank you
Me too. I’ve got a 2002 coupe bronze color and I still love it
Not a fan, leave the Camaro along and make the Monte a Monte.
I will tell you that the monte Carlo is a Beautiful car I own 2 of them. 1 is a 01 beautiful red with silver ground effects. And its a ss / hs. Hs for high sport. With 3800 engine. My other one is a 03 still another beautiful car both with leather. only thing I wished they is put chrome outer part of the gauges. .to bad the 06 and 07 front end took away from it’s lookk.
I want one!
V8 of course!
Six Speed!
Clean it up a little more and get rid of the terrible Camaro roofline and it still will never get consideration to be produced. Why have something to compete with Challenger…hmmm…nah….how silly of me…what a waste of time! The Camaro is selling so well…no need to be proactive and add new blood to the portfolio.
Great post made here. One thing I would really like to say is the fact that most professional domains consider the Bachelor’s Degree like thejust like the entry level standard for an online education. Whilst Associate Degrees are a great way to start, completing the Bachelors opens many opportunities to various careers, there are numerous on-line Bachelor Diploma Programs available through institutions like The University of Phoenix, Intercontinental University Online and Kaplan. Another issue is that many brick and mortar institutions offer you Online editions of their qualifications but generally for a greatly higher price than the institutions that specialize in online diploma plans.
I really like this. Far better looking than the current camaro or any other “modern” monte carlo renderings I have seen. My only feed back would be to drop the hood and quarters by an inch or two to add better proportion to the roof line. I’d buy one with an Gen V LT in it.
I want one
When I was 19 I had 79 monte with T tops, great car. I’d put my money down on a pre- order for this tomorrow with the LS3
