The current sixth-generation Chevy Camaro was introduced for the 2016 model year, with several styling revisions introduced in the model years that followed. Now, the GM Design team has released this gorgeous Chevy Camaro sketch for us to ogle.
This Chevy Camaro design sketch is low and aggressive, mixing a wealth of aero components with a wide stance. This particular model appears to be inspired by the Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE. Introduced with the 2018 model year, the 1LE extreme track package infuses the already highly capable Camaro ZL1 with even more go-faster upgrades, including new aero components.
Some of these are visible on this recently released Chevy Camaro sketch. The front end, for example, is equipped with dive planes attached to the corners of the front bumper, complementing a large front splitter element, all of which helps the front end to stick at speed. This is critical, as the rear end is pushed into the pavement by a large carbon fiber rear wing attached to the trunk lid.
Finished in black, the aero upgrades are complemented by a black hood treatment, while we also spot a black roof, black sideview mirrors, and large black wheels shod in low-profile, ultra-sticky rubber. It’s a great look, and definitely has the right stuff to announce the Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE’s performance intentions.
As GM Authority covered previously, production of the 2022 Chevy Camaro kicked off in August at the GM Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan. The 2022 Chevy Camaro arrives as the seventh model year of the sixth-generation vehicle, introducing a few updates and changes over the preceding 2021 model year. The official 2022 Chevy Camaro online configurator went live late last month.
Unfortunately, production of the Chevy Camaro was halted earlier this month due to the ongoing global microchip shortage. Production is not expected to resume until October.

For those Chevy Camaro lessees looking to make a few bucks, record-high used car prices have catapulted the Chevy Camaro to the top of the list for vehicles potentially offering a big profit for those who decide to buy back their car and sell it on the used market.

This beast looks awesome and says function over form all over it. When you add things for downforce and handling people do not understand it is not about styling and does not always look attractive. Even though it is such a beautiful beast. This car is for serious drivers and not the wannabes. This beast is all about tearing up a road course and it is world class in doing that and will embarrass cars costing much more. Me want badly. All the negative nannies on here are just mad at the world!
I would dare to say 90% of the Camaro owners/drivers want a hi po street car, a practical hi po street car, not a over the edge road course car . Crap that helps the car hug the road at over 120 mph and up, just does not cut it for the masses. Camaro needs to address the low roof and high beltline, Camaro needs to address the competition of the Challenger and the Mustang that has left the Camaro in the dust for us many street drivers that only drive on the street or a 1/4 mile drag strip
Only thing truly missing is affordability.
Where can I check out its rear?
I love the Camaro. I am a die hard fan.
But they need to fix the electrical issues….like the consistent, battery issues and the undersize starter!!
Had a 2016 and have a 2021, the 2021 has 7800 miles and 10 months old. Have had zero battery issues, and never heard they did???
If there is going to be a Camaro in the future start with a fresh sheet of paper. This current generation has proved to be almost DOA.
Why all the PLASTIC LOOKING BODY WORK? No Thanks.. make a 2nd gen retro new camaro…
I wish the camaro would look like it should you know like a 1969…the last one to do that was around 2009-2010..years but what the he’ll happened ? Whoever is designing them now needs to be fired. Please build the camaro exterior that actually looks like a camaro.. none of this import,Asian wide mouth bs.. just saying.
The front end in my view is “busy” but not to say I wouldn’t buy it. Hopefully the rumors are true, and they will add in some of the Black Wing components that are sitting on the shelves to the last couple years of the Gen 6 ZL1 1LE. I sold my 2015 ZL1 a couple months ago and got every dollar back that I paid for it new. I am ready to order a ZLE, just waiting to see what direction these last few years are going to take. All I really do with them is autocross, no long scenic drives in the country side, just cone to cone. Say what you will about the issues of the Gen 6, what you cant say is that they don’t perform on the street as intended.
I’ve owned 3 Camaros, all 4th Gens. I really liked the 6th gen and thought I wanted one until I drove one. While it performs wonderfully in all trims it felt like sitting in a coffin to me. The rear seats are so unusable that they shouldn’t be there. I’m old enough to have wanted a 2nd gen, spent a lot of time in 3rd gens, and as I said owned 4th gens. ALL of those had rear seats that could actually be used by people. Since this was basically a 2 seater and I wanted a sports cars for the back roads so I went and bought an ND2 MX-5 instead as my 3rd car. I don’t regret it one bit. This sketch is how the design should progress as it looks 100X better than the horrible mid cycle refresh that we see today. That’s not enough for me though. The Camaro either needs to revert to a usable 2+2 with better visibility or sadly, it should die. I’m not a Mustang guy but I drove the GT that my brother owns and it is a better car to live with than the Camaro. I see why it out sells Camaro in this generation. I’ll miss the Camaro if it does die, but I think that is a foregone conclusion now. They missed the window to improve it with the 6th Gen. It has an identity crisis… Is it a sports car or a muscle car? It’s kind of big, heavy, and hard to see out of for a sports car. And it doesn’t do the muscle car thing like the Challenger, or offer a blend of both like the Mustang. A clean sheet redesign that was modern, but reminiscent of the Gen 1 Z28 would be awesome but that’s just me wishing. GM just doesn’t want my sports car money. Even the Vette falls short for me, but that’s another story.
I have been a Camaro owner for 20 years. My first being a 2000 SS. My favorite was the 2010 SS as it seemed to have a more retro design. The lines were sharp and the tail lights were distinctive. My 2017 50th anniversary Camaro has lines that were softened too much. This made it look more like other competitive models. Too many fins on the prototype, distract from the design. Since the Camaro is being discontinued once again, I feel they should celebrate the original design!
