2024 Chevy Camaro To Get Farewell Special-Edition Package
Sponsored Links
The current sixth-generation Chevy Camaro is slated to sunset in 2023 as a 2024 model-year vehicle. To mark its departure, the 2024 Chevy Camaro will be offered with a special-edition “farewell” package.
The yet-unnamed special-edition “farewell” package for the 2024 Chevy Camaro will be offered across various trim levels, likely including LT, LT1, SS, and ZL1. The package will also likely be restricted to exterior and interior bits, without any powertrain or suspension changes over the standard model, given development resources have been pulled from the Chevy Camaro for about two years now.
As such, the rumored upgrade to the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing’s version of the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine, rated at 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque, is highly unlikely. To note, Chevy Camaro ZL1 models are equipped with the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine, but output is rated at 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. What’s more, the rumor that the Chevy Camaro could adopt Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 suspension is also highly unlikely.
The lack of suspension and powertrain upgrades for the final few model years of the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro can be chalked up to emissions and/or internal validation costs that simply can’t be justified for the nameplate at this point in time.
The discontinuation timeframe for the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro was previously somewhat uncertain, as GM Authority covered previously. Development of the seventh-generation model has been terminated, making the sixth-gen model the “final” generation for the nameplate, at least for now. Moving forward, it has now been determined that the sixth-generation Camaro will be discontinued for the 2024 model year. The sixth-generation was originally introduced for the 2016 calendar year.
What happens to the legendary nameplate after that timeframe remains uncertain. One possibility is that the Chevy Camaro will be revived as a new performance EV sedan, coinciding with General Motors’ move towards an all-electric future.

Is this an op-ed or a source article?, where’s word that GM is discontinuing the Camaro?.
You wonder where the source for this article came from.
Wondering?, there’s no word on it other then used car buyers sulking over its possible cancelation.
Op-Ed. GMA has long quoted the 2024 “end date” for the 6th gen camaro, but that date was based back in 2016 upon the idea that the Ford mustangs was introducing a new generation in 2023 and ditto from dodge. As there is no muscle car challenger being updated I guess these cars will live on as the current Van offerings do….. cash cows that will just keep selling in low volumes at high profits for a couple decades or so. GM nor Ford has announced any plans to discontinue their ponie cars, and as long as there is a mustang, there will be a camaro.
The only thing I like about the new Camaro is the taillights the frontend dash area slot windows small rear seats , truck and Transformer design is outdated Chevy did it to itself 69- 70 split bumper was it’s best years “No Designer inspiration”
Haha finally this piece of trash gets canceled.
what do you drive, a Yugo. Another armchair car authority.
I don’t even know what a yugo is. And why are you so triggered over a car you don’t own 🤣 if you must know I have a 5th gen camaro
Fifth gen Camaro is ok, but the 6th gen has more advanced styling, and
weight reduced 700 lbs. for better fuel mileage and performance.
Your opinion is highly subjective, and really not worth much since you
don’t provide any facts to prove your point. The Camaro is certainly
not a ‘ piece of trash ‘ , far from it.
Aren’t you a ‘armchair car authority” to? Technically isn’t everyone on here that? I would like to know what you drive? Usually the goofs who get upset over someone not liking something they do typically don’t have the vehicle in question and are usually broke and drive a piece of crap.
The camaro sucks dude I’m sorry if that makes you mad but it’s the truth. All these clowns on here who get bent out of shape when someone says that how many of you actually own a new one? I would bet 99% of you don’t the camaro does not sell well and that is a fact and it hasent sold well long before the chip issues or EV. If people like it so much buy one if not don’t get mad when the truth is told. They have done hardly anything to correct the issues people have said about this car. The mustang and challenger have been smashing the camaro in sales for years now.
The new ones do suck give me 68 69 70 but that’s it for camaro
68 R/S CAMARO
Try putting a 69 or 70 against a gen 6 Zl1.You ll soon see which one is trash.
Then buy a time machine, and go get a new ‘69 – ‘70 model, complete with antiquated technology. They were nice, but that was then, and this now.
All of these plastic POS cars suck balls. I’m only 40 and still want a Vietnam era muscle car over this trash (Ford, Dodge or Chevy new cars). Pontiac GTO 68,69 or 70.
I agree with you with the exception of I would have to have a all the new technology within all these plastic piece of s*** I E I would have to have LS in a 69 Camaro I would want the Coyote 5.0 and of course all the suspension GTO well I would have to have intercourse there goes again the LS motor no denying the body styles of that are though are awesome
I definitely love the older ones but my 2019 2SS beat every mustang that I’ve raced and I’ve raced all the models from a dig and rolling and I’ve only lost twice to a hell cat. Best handling I’ve had from any stock car.
Farewell Package or Failure Package?
Hardly a failure when it was in production for 57 years. I’m just saying. Lol I would drive one if I had the money !! No wait I would buy the Mustang Gt 500!! We will settle My hip replacement by end of the year.. I will let yall know how the seats feel under my ass when I get it.lol
It is a failure when your killing it for the second time in 20 years.
I’ll guess I’ll agree with you but there’s no one on this discussion who can honestly say they wouldn’t have at least one or maybe two models of Camaro I could think of only one generation that wouldn’t have
I mean I guess we can sit here and call of the failures would like to but if you count the number of sales doesn’t matter that they are behind and every other sport manufacturer I bet the total number of money none of us will ever see in our life alone so all in all looks like it was a GM success I mean I wouldn’t put it out year after year after year after year and it was costing me money I think that’s what constitutes a failure
That is not true it was not in production for 57 years. It’s been canceled numerous times.
What years where they not made
Were you in a coma 2003-2008?
Dear MS Barra:
Thanks again for handing even more sales to us on a silver platter.
Sincerely,
Dodge Challenger and Ford Mustang
Blame whoever greenlit the design on the discontinuation. I feel bad for the hardware team myself.
The Challenger is done in 2024 like the Slowmaro, bwahahahaha,
Fire the design team.all of them go with a smaller mid engine camaro like the vette
So keep the design team whose destroying the car
So like a Camaro Mondial?
Sounds like a great way to sell even less Camaros, you should be on the GM board….maybe you can be Mary’s coffee slave….
Fantastic chassis. Too bad the styling never resonated with buyers.
Normal people you know us the middle class don’t want your electric cars quit trying to shove your crapped on our throats
I’m curious how electric and V8 cars will play out. I can’t ever see owning more than 1 electric car in the household, and that’s assuming costs eventually come to parity.
I most certainly will be buying a V8 powered automobile in the future and probably more than 1 V8 powered truck. If GM isn’t making the cars, I’m sure someone else will, right?
I’m middle class and really like my EV no gas no oil plug in and go, my gas vehicles have a battery tender on them because the batteries kept going dead because I don’t drive then, why would I though hahah they cost money every time I turn the key over, can’t wait to see what GM does with the electric sports car.
Batteries keep going dead compared to the vehicle igniting into flames 🤣
No Electric cars in MY future!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dumb idea created by even dumber people.
About 2027 the news will be about the return of the gasoline engines.
So after 2023 GM will not be selling a traditional coupe in America. This would be a first for how long?
AND THE BEAN COUNTERS WIN AGAIN!!!
I’m sure you will be getting a “THANK YOU” letter from Mustang and Challenger .
Such a shame you’re “A QUITTER” MARY!!!
The only thing worse than an electric pickup truck is an electric pony car. The whole idea of an electric car is great for little old ladies in town or for short trips, but for a real driver’s car it really stinks.
Sounds like something somebody who’s never driven an EV would say.
I’ve driven a Tesla, it was garbage. Not interested.
And your response sounds like someone who is shilling for gm in hopes you can convince people to forget about there ev going up in flames
Wonder if or when gm going to start building 2022 model?I’ve had LT1on order since march.
October, is when the plant will go back to normal operation.
Why does GM feel the need to give us all 3 years warning of their plan kill a product line? They’ve done this with the Sonic, Impala, Malibu and now the Camaro??? Do they think it’s going to make people run out to dealers with cash in hand yelling “QUICK, TAKE MY MONEY”? It works just the opposite. Nobody wants a dead in the water brand new car. But fear not, they’ll act all surprised when their sales tank even further than they already were before their big announcement. I’m a tried and true GM fan, always was. I grew up jumping around the back seats of mid 60’s Impala Super Sports, Pontiac GTO’s and Chevelle Super Sport’s to several Chevelle Concours wagons in the 70’s, but I gotta tell ya. It’s getting DAMN hard to stay loyal to a company who’s bound and determined to fail, only to act shocked when they do. This is painful to watch. Meanwhile, over at the Ford camp. They’re killing it. Damn painful. Sighhhh
Loyalty to GM takes another big hit.
I couldn’t agree more
You’re right David, GM products are failing miserably. Just look at the major failures in the 5.3 V-8 motors going on 10 years now! Transmissions on the full size and Canyon Colorado trucks. GM won a class action suit for these transmissions, claiming it’s a “design flaw” and they didn’t design the transmission. Where does that leave us, who just paid 30-65 thousand dollars on one of THEIR vehicles? It’s one thing to build junk, but not backing it up is worse.
Another reason Mary Barra was named one of Time’s 100 most signifigant in their 21 list, NOT, NO CHIPS, NO VEHICLES, NO CAMARO’S. Yes she is influential alright, driving GM to the lowest levels in history but remember dealers love no vehicles to sell, low floorplans and high prices! SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All one needs to do is look at the direction the Mustang is taking. I’m not saying that there will be a Camaro SUV but besides the Mustang, Lamborghini, Maserati, Alfa Romeo, all big names in terms of performance have introduced SUV versions of their cars. Look, I’ve always been a Camaro fan but the latest version of the Camaro is a design disaster. I’ve tried to love it but it always gets back to the greenhouse being too low. Even you fanatical Camaro guys have expressed the same thing. Another disaster is the interior design. The door panels and seats are OK (only OK, not great) but the the instrument panel is just hard to look at it’s SOOOOOO ugly. The exterior design direction has been moving more and more towards game playing teenagers rather than Chevy guys like myself who represent an older customer and have the money to buy one. (Younger customers would rather have a Honda Civic anyway). All in all it’ll be sad to see the Camaro put out to pasture.
…”put out to pasture”, AGAIN!
Really no need to drag it out until 2023-24? Dealers simply do not order many Camaro’s at all. The demographic that at one time bought these cars has moved to the “TrailBoss”. Dodge and Ford have done a much better job at keeping their vehicles relevant among the crowd that lives in a world where…….perception is reality.
These past models will become expensive in the future as they become collectible.
Just like Pontiac and Olds muscle cars. Hello vintage GTO’s and 442’s. $$$
I believe years ago when I predicted that the Camaro doesn’t have a Platform it could utilize to remain ICE I was called insane and crazy. Not saying I was rooting for Camaro to become an EV but like I said years ago, if the nameplate will survive it will need to shift to a BEV Platform. Which it now sounds is exactly what will happen.
They did have the CT6 Omega platform developed and paid for to make the Camaro larger and wider than the current car, not a dumb move at all since it looks like the Mustang will have to move to the Explorer platform for the next gen and the Challenger has always been one size larger than the Camaro.
But Barra’s GM let the Omega die and instead of developing Cadillac crossovers based on that platform, they decided to give all four GM divisions a version of the Traverse.
@Jorge Gomez
That Platform would have been waaaaaay too expensive for the Camaro program.
I mean that Platform was so expensive GM wouldn’t allow Cadillac to produce CUV’s utilizing it and ultimately cancelled the entire Program.
Ford developed the GT350 as a response to the Z/28, they benchmarked that car and gave the track-focused Chevy customers a true alternative.
When they announced the GT500 they rated it at 760Hp cause they were expecting to still one-up an LT5-powered Camaro, but that never happened.
The Challenger got significant upgrades to it’s engine, transmissions exterior and interior during its long career to keep it fresh, and the car healthy sales prove that a whole new car every 5 years isn’t mandatory.
While it isn’t said in stone, the Camaro future doesn’t look too bright.
I want to get an SS before production ends. It will look good next to my 17 V6 RS.
After that purchase, I’m going used Silverado or moving to another brand.
I would never trust GM building an EV or EVs in general.
The main issue with the Camaro, is the price and marketing.
Or LACK of marketing??? Look at the Sonic, Impala, Malibu and now the Camaro. What do they all have in common? When was the last time you actually saw a TV ad for any of them before their demise. GM has failed themselves and us, big time. Remember “The heartbeat of America” ads in the 80’s. They were constant and you know what….they worked!! We’ve learned NOTHING!!!
You’re not wrong. Their lack of marketing with the 6th Gen after 2018 was humiliating. I guess they want to put all their money into EVs which may or may not take off and then ask the government for money anyways.
That’s what they did last time and they came out fine lol I think the Banks are ready for there 2nd round of bailout money as well..
In regards to Marketing, It’s amazing how a company as large as GM does very little. We are however bombarded with Toyatathons, and that young woman in (red) the ads have become a household fixture. In addition to Toyota, Hyundai does a lot of TV advertising and it seems to have paid off as Hyundai’s are everywhere in the Pacific Northwest. I Remember growing up when Chevy Impalas and Chevelles were everywhere and all the young dudes couldn’t wait to grow up and get a Camaro. And for the big dreamers they aspired to own a Corvette someday.
Yeah, I think I’m in love with Pam, the Toyota girl!!
