It’s pretty easy to spot the late second-gen Chevy Camaro Z28, what with its sharp, angular nose, squared front lighting, and wide, horizontal styling lines. Now, one digital artist is adding even more to the Z28’s width with this new, modernized rendering.
Coming to us from Al Yasid on Instagram (@yasiddesign), this Chevy Camaro Z28 rendering appears to be based on the 1978 model year, judging by the front end and rear lighting treatment. However, while we can recognize the original inspiration, the final product is something else entirely.
First things first, this new Chevy Camaro rendering is slammed to the ground, hovering just above the pavement with low-hanging aero bits, including a shapely front splitter attached to the bumper. The new splitter complements monumentally flared wheel arches, which appear to add a foot or two to the car’s track, giving it a sort of modernized touring car racer vibe. The Z28 logo is proudly displayed on the upper grille section, while an arrow-like indent is on the hood.
Moving over to the profile, we get to see the Chevy Camaro’s meaty tires hunched under the new arches, which look to be pure rolling-pin spec. New racing sideview mirrors are pinned to the fenders, while cutouts in the bodywork direct airflow where desired.
The rear end is equally impressive, and boasts a tall duck bill spoiler attached to the trunk, a carbon fiber diffuser, and a pair of large-diameter exhaust pipes integrated with the high-tech rear aero treatment. The roof also appears as through it was chopped down a little, while the rear glass was reformed with additional sheet metal from the trunk section.
Additional rendering images include two from a higher angle, giving us a top-down view of the front end and the rear end. The majority of the vehicle is done in gray, while the front end stands out with a yellow finish.

Thats Fugly! Retro Widebody muscle cars of the 60s and 70s is a sin. Even if it is a computer generated one.
I agree they butchered this poor car!!
OMG! Absolutely disgusting. Why is this even being talked about? Looks like someone’s first attempt at one of those horrible cheap mail order do it yourself body kits from the late 70’s/early 80’s. Like making your Pontiac Fiero into a Lamborghini.
Kill it with fire. Why do people even give garbage renderings like this any press?
Looks like someone stepped on a Camaro.
Can’t take it on a country road. Can’t take it on a County road (though most would say there’s no difference). Can’t take it on the Interstate… don’t even think of trying on East Coast Interstates with their frost-heaves and pot-holes! Can’t take it on city streets. Can’t park it at the Mall because of the speed bumps… Can’t park it on the street for the curbs.
The late, great Camaro Z28 was meant to be driven on the street but, with some caution, could be driven when the pavement ends and the gravel (even Iron Oxide) begins.
As art, it’s borderline awesome. As art imitating life? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Normally I don’t care for these widebodies. I like this one though, especially the back, it is really nice.
Disgusting, I’m so tired of this crap!! 78 wasn’t the greatest style for the Z, but this is just ugly and dumb!!
I love Camars this wide body looks okay tbh
As an owner of a 1979 Z-28 I appreciate the thought and work put into this car. However, I believe the artist went too far, roll the changes back about 50% and the world will take notice.
Camaros aren’t supposed to be slammed to the earth, raise it back up at least to where going off a normal curb won’t total the car. Think rally car not formula 1. Next would be the Aero and fender flaring, reduce it by 50%, it will still look striking and violent but not cartoonist or fragile. Lastly, T-Tops. This style of Camaro is famous for its T-Tops. Having T-Tops be functional with opening the doors and you can chop the top a bit more.
Idk if Johnathan the article author has seen a Camaro from this era. That isn’t an arrow shaped hood indent, it is a cowl induction. The “duck bill spoiler” as you call it is factory equipment on a Z-28 and not added for this rendering. I’m just being pedantic I know.
Definitely on my list of projects, but with t tops wide body camaro z28s rule
