General Motors is saying farewell to the sixth-generation Chevy Camaro, recently announcing the upcoming release of a new Collector’s Edition package for the sixth-gen’s final 2024 model year. Although the sixth-gen Camaro will end with the 2024 model year, GM has also confirmed that the Chevy Camaro nameplate will get a new generation sometime in the future. Unfortunately, the specifics on what this next-gen Chevy Camaro will look like are still under wraps.
Current sixth-gen Chevy Camaro
“As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” said vice president, Global Chevrolet, Scott Bell. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”
Part of the Chevy Camaro’s future will include continued participation in motorsport. At present, Chevy campaigns the sixth-gen Camaro in a number of racing series, including NASCAR, IMSA, SRO, NHRA, and the Supercars Championship, and GM is clear that the Camaro nameplate will continue to have a presence on the track going forward.
“Chevrolet’s products and our relationship with our customers benefit from motorsports,” said Chevrolet U.S. vice president, Performance and Motorsports, Jim Campbell. “Our plan is to continue to compete and win at the highest levels of auto racing.”
Current sixth-gen Chevy Camaro
Of course, all of this must be considered in the broader context of GM’s transition to an all-electric lineup by the 2035 calendar year. One report released late last year indicates that GM will leverage the Chevy Camaro nameplate to create a new Camaro EV sub-brand “umbrella,” offering a variety of different all-electric models covering several different segments. Among these may be a new coupe and convertible model, as well as possibly a mid-price flagship sports car loosely related to the upcoming electric Corvette models, and even an all-electric Chevy Camaro utility vehicle.
As always, we’ll keep an eye on this story and report back any developments as we get them, so stay tuned. In the meantime, subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevy Camaro news, Chevy news, GM business news.

I will try to upgrade from my 17 Camaro to this collectors edition. Although, can call it, that I won’t be able to get one due to allocations.
Camaro Dude – good luck getting that collectors addition. I can only imagine how much these dirt bag dealers are going to mark it up. I live in the bay area and I can’t get an SS 1LE for sticker. I have been looking for over 1 year. I will never pay mark up.
Order one from me we will not charge over msrp.
beezee522 – what state?
Michigan
I did get a 2022 Camaro 2SS 1LE sticker price from Jimmy Vaslor in Napa
Sarah Galvan – That is surprising. They have a brand new 2023 1SS for sale right now with a $4,495.00 mark up. MSRP – $47,950, Sale Price – $52,445. Was the car you purchased white?
Bay Area? Tampa? Galveston?
I want everyone trying to get a car or truck and have to deal with ADM (adjusted dealer markup) to tell the dealership that you will tell everyone you know NOT to buy a vehicle from their dealership EVER again. Tell all YouTubers to tell their subscribers to pass the word on NEVER buy from a ADM dealership this must stop. I’m looking at 2 different cars if my Z06 isn’t going to be built next year and I’m #12 on my states biggest corvette dealer. The two others I’m looking at want $50 -200k over sticker that’s insane.
It’s just capitalism, my pal. A business would be crazy not to price a product to maximize their profits.
We bought our two vehicles last year (2022 Camaro 2SS & 2022 4Runner) I told the dealer on the phone + email & then in person, no dealer markup/adjustment, & no silly dealer addons even if they are “customary”. Took 2 months for our 4Runner to show up, but 9 months for our Camaro to arrive.
Have you thought about build and price. I did it on an SS and there was no dealer markup allowed per GM webb site. Only destination charge and dealer processing fee of $450.00.
We’re already talking $30k markup on them. BUAHAHAHA
The auto industry sucks. Can’t wait for an EV CUV Camaro for old women.
Old women don’t want EV’s.
They definitely want CUVs. I don’t think they know or care how it works.
As an “old Woman” driving a Camaro you Sir are clueless.
I’m an older woman driving a Camaro. I’ve been driving them for 38 years.
Boomers are Camaro’s biggest buyers. It’s nostalgia from when they were young.
GM needs to take a Camaro break since they lack common sense right now. 6th generationcouldnever over come 5th generations shadow. (They could have made bank off of Firbird/Trans Am collectors editions).
In the 1990s GM took a break & built Chevy Beretta which was a big hit. Doing something like that now, going in a different direction, would be smart.
Nobody is making you buy a new car. Auto Trader is your friend.
we all knew this was coming, but to actually hear it from gm is actually sad. god knows when they will release the new gen camaro, albeit if they don’t end up scrapping the next gen in the future for some 4 cylinder or some weak compact ev. 🤦🏾♂️
I was holding out hope after Dodge decided to get rid of the Charger/Challenger. Seems like GM could expect to pick up a good chunk of those Challenger sales if they extended the Camaro and gave it a Mustang like refresh. I would assume this is the death knell for the CT4 and CT5 as well, given they are all assembled at the same place.p
Cadillac Did a terrible job on the design element’s of the New CT4, CT5. No flared fenders or boat tail type rear end, or semi high-rise feature lines on the hood, or the creased distinction lines that were apart of the ATS, CTS line of vehicles. My wife traded her 2013 ATS Premium in for a 2017 ATS Premium because she would not even think about driving something as hum drum as the new Caddys.
I feel like the 6G was such a letdown because at the reveal in May 2015, at the peak of the “muscle car boom”, as I watched it live in anticipation, I heard “We listened to our customers who love the look of the current car so we kept it”.
I bought new cars in the same space while the Camaro was offered and couldn’t get over the limitations of the car – it might have roasted tires well for a bloated pig (5g) and later performed well (6g), but it was a terrible as one couldn’t see out of it, trunk opening could barely fit a set of golf clubs, the interior fittings of the 5g (gauge cluster, dial radio) were so chintzy as to be stupid, the only redeeming quality the 5th gen had was the cool “4-pack” gauges down by the shifter. The 6g fixed most things but the beltline, and then added the terrible climate controls with the vents that blew straight up your face.
I did enjoy driving them as rentals, occasionally, just to remind myself why I didn’t want to own one.
Sadly, the Camaro was consistently outsold by the Mustang and Challenger, both of which were severely dated at different points against the Camaro, yet still outsold it and brought in new buyers to their divisions.
I’m of the opinion that GM should just kill the name, put it in the dustbin of history unless they decide to do a best of breed, best of class automobile (or family). No more shortcuts, no more excuses.
Watch they’ll have an allocation for all the big-name dealer and toughing for the small little town dealer! It’s always the same $hits on the small.
GM sucks at this all EV stuff. Not everyone wants an EV and honestly the infrastructure in terms of charging stations and electricity generating capacity/distribution is so far behind GM’s dreams, it isn’t funny. I just did a 1000 mile trip with my GMC Acadia. Two 20 minute refueling and bathroom breaks at the 400 mile mark to take on about 19 gallons of fuel (and a final top off at the end of about 10 gallons). That ain’t happening in an EV.
general motors doesn’t suck at EVs per se, but gm fails to realize their core customers don’t want or that current EV tech is not up to the needs of their core buyers. This just goes to prove how much gm doesn’t care about their current buyers and how much they want to steal competitors buyers!
I was hoping they’d do a version reminiscent of the 67 – 69 with hideaway headlights. I owned a 67 RS/SS. Should have kept it!
I had a 1967 Rally Sport, in violet with white stripes, and a NA 327 V8 under the hood. Those hide away lights were vacuum operated and you had to check those tiny lines when the light did not open.
I had the same in a ’68. Thing is, I only had one issue with them not opening and it was a 5 minute, $0.50 fix. Fast forward to today with actuator controlled covers and you need a data bus analyzer to determine if the control message is coming down or is the actuator motor is bad. Either way you are looking at $$$, at the least, and possibly over $1K. Progress…
Well it has been clear that the Camaro was not going away. The work for LeMans and in other racing made it clear GM has plans.
Odds are it will be an EV going forward.
And anyone who blame GM for going Electic willingly needs to get with the reality thst it us either change or die in the market. Nearly 50% of the American market is now set to be non ICE by 2035. An automaker can not survive on that.
Yes not everyone wants it but the news falls on deaf corrupt politicians. They are who your anger should directed for the lady 20 years.
As it us this class of vehicle does need a change as it is do expensive anymore. It is no longer low cost performance.
Every automaker is changing yo survive and even then some will not make it.
C8.R – Ice will NEVER go away. There isn’t enough resources to make 100 percent EV’s for the world, let along the US. Remember, the same political party that is pushing this is the same party that is confused with gender. They don’t live in the world of reality.
I highly highly doubt it will be an EV. All they got to do is one up fords mustang. It’s insanely cheap to change the grill, take the new corvette stingray engine and flip it.
They might hint at an EV to keep the ESG banks happy, but it’s not gonna happen. They also would like to keep the COPO program alive as dodge is discontinuing the demon letting them corner the market.
World will be vastly different in 2 years anyways. Either ESG will take over and very few will have cars or ESG will collapse and BEV’s will fall by the wayside for more affordable and profitable gas cars will be cool again.
Next generation Camaro will probably be “electrified” meaning some form of hybrid.
E-Ray technology exists…that might not be so bad if they can keep the pricing within reason. At least it would keep the weight down from a full EV!
Might happen, but it won’t be a full hybrid. Likely the base trims will all be ICE, then an SS, than a hybrid. Question is if the ZL1 will be a hybrid or supercharged. Pricing might push it towards a hybrid unless GM plans on adding a supercharger to the next gen V8’s. That may happen yet. The LT6 won’t fit in the hood of a camaro.
I would be perfectly happy with a hybrid, but dear god please don’t make the 8th gen Camaro a BEV.
Most likely the 7th gen Camaro is going to be based off the Cadillac CT4 just like how the 6th gen Camaro was based off the Cadi ATS. So we will have at least another generation of ICE before Big Brother starts ripping away our human rights. The future is looking more and more like 1984 by George Orwell.
Normal consumer cars and SUVs, let them be electric for sure. But a specialty racing car with decades of tradition like the Camaro, they could do everyone a favour and keep it ICE.
I’m still betting EVs will not be the main cars in 2035 unless there is some magical way you can at your home charge your EV in a hour max. Or even when traveling charge in 15-30 minutes. They already don’t keep EV charges very well maintained. No country has capacity to do this. If they think people in the US are going to move to the city they are very wrong. Our next Presidential election will more than likely set the pace.
I’m betting all these car manufactures have ICE options in their back pocket just in case. We all know nothing the Climate fools have stated is coming true and it may take a few more years to prove them wrong.
By 2035, few companies will have BEV’s. Even Tesla sells theirs at a loss, and makes up for it in regulatory credits. Ford/GM are loosing money hands over fists on their BEV’s. Toyota protested and complained about the economies of BEV’s and the woke banks forced their board to change CEO’s as a result. BEV’s aren’t affordable period. It will get worse if the next administration hits the EPA and loosens emissions and end carbon credits. That would reduce the costs of ICE by 2-3 grand per unit and make BEV’s absolutely unattenable.
Mostly daily driving is replenished in about an hour with a 240V charger already.
As long as you don’t run the heat in the winter.
I’m sure the 3.500 people who were going to buy a Camaro are broken hearted.
Cliff – people can only buy what they produce.
Poor Camaro sales has nothing to do with a lack of production. It has everything to do with a lack of people who want to buy them. Camaro has been last in the pony car wars for a reason.
Dunno, local dealership has had maybe a handful of camaros the last year or two. Most of them were ZL1s. Or ss 1le. Said it was all they could get.
GM never made them competitive and never advertised them.
Poor sales and reception lead to fewer being produced, which made it even harder to get. Other manufacturers would have just flooded the market with big discounts but when you have shortages in parts that makes even less sense.
Some people here probably think I don’t like GM or Chevy and it’s just not true. I want and wanted so bad to want this car. The shortcomings of this lead me to a Silverado and the shortcomings and issues of that lead me to Ford.
I never wanted a Ford before and certainly not a Mustang, but seeing the 2024 it’s like a mix of the current mustang and Camaro, or a Camaro done right. I’m apprehensive of the MT82 because I want a manual, but otherwise it’s everything the Camaro should have been – package wise. Time will tell if they really did improve the chassis/handling.
I love that Chev went hardcore and put so much effort into the hardware but you can’t sacrifice ergonomics and livability like they did.
The Mustang is built on a Ford Explorer SUV body. Yes the 7th gen Mustang is a looker, but it will always be inferior to the Camaro being built on a much better Cadillac ATS chassis. Track tests have shown 6th gen Camaro SS 1LE to have better lap times than the 6th gen Mustang GT500, mostly because of having superior handling. I care about performance numbers on the track. Camaro is a Mustang done the right way.
Thats why I will keep my 2017 ATS Premium, because of the Alpha platform with magnetic shocks, limited slip differential, brembo brakes, heads up display, kick ass styling, low profile tires, and decent enough HP with the V6, 335 hp and close to 300 ft lbs of torque. It may not be as fast as a V8 but it will keep up while pushing a G in the corners.
25,000 Camaros were sold in 2022, for a car with no major touch-ups and zero advertising, that’s a good number. You also have to remember the difficulties getting allocation in 2022 pushed consumers to competing pony cars.
And to think they only sold 25,381 Corvettes in 2022 and that required a special factory, special chassis, special transmission, and all the other special components! Seems to make more sense to keep 3 vehicles that maximize and utilize one factory!
For comparison, the car that all here says nobody wants, the electric Mustang (yes Mach-E) sold 39,458.* Sorry, 25,000 is a pittance in the auto manufacturing business. You can make all the excuses you want, but the reason the ICE Camaro is going away is nobody wants it. It has been last in pony car sales for years. And I say this as a Camaro fan, even if you don’t believe me. I go with facts, not hyperbole.

Cliff – How many Camaros did GM produce in 2022? Dominic said they sold ~25k. I doubt they produced much more then that.
What are they supposed to do, produce 50,000 so 25,000 can sit unsold? They produce as many as they think they can sell generally speaking. That’s how the auto industry usually works. Sometimes they build too many, sometimes they don’t build enough. Chevy knows how many they sold in 2021. They have a good idea of how many they can sell in 2023. Do you expect them to make more then they think they can sell?
You seem to be forgetting that Camaro’s were literally non existent on dealer lots all of 2022 and the majority of new cars needed to be ordered thus forcing prospective buyers to wait up to a year or more for many of these cars. That kept many buyers from considering these types of cars. If they were being produced and were on dealer lots they would have sold. My aunt was in the market for a V6 convertible last year and was told by the Chevy dealer that they would have to order it and it could take up to 10 months or more. She walked right out the door and went to Ford and they somehow were able to dealer locate an Ecoboost convertible the next day so she went with that.
They did the same thing with the Regal in 2020. Zero advertisement. None on the lots. Salesman trying to talk them into an CUV or to order one and wait forever for it. When a company could care a less about a product it sells do you think people are going to buy them?
Too many complaints about cars not being available. I don’t understand why those who complain about this don’t go to the GM web site and build your own. I did. Took my online order to a local dealer who placed the order in August and I had my custom ’23 SS delivered in October. No dealer markup only destination and processing fee.
i agree! i ordered a 2021 2LT V6 in august of 2020 and picked it up november….easy,…no markup or anything….still running great today
The 6th gen sales were dismal BEFORE the pandemic.
How do you explain that?
Sales of the Camaro fell off a cliff from the 2015 MY to the 2016 MY.
Because most people who buy Mustangs/Camaros/Challengers just want something stylish with a loud exhaust, they don’t care about real performance, track performance.
Challengers are literally one of the most useless form over function cars ever made, but they’re selling like hot cakes. Why? Because the buyers don’t care about actual performance.
But if you ask real race car drivers, people who take cars out to the race track they will all tell you the 6th gen Camaro is the best car out of the 3.
Handling matters more than horsepower.
The Mach-E is a 4 door SUV, which exposes it to the huge soccer mom, “need a family car”, and boomer-whose-hurting-knees-require-him-to-get-a-higher-vehicle market. You’re comparing apples to oranges.
They’ll just christen a LT1 trim of the CT5V Blackwing (no blower) and Camaro-priced interior materials. EV are a scam and will barely amount to 20% (likely FAR less) of vehicle sales in 2030 or 35. EU is already backpeddling of “no ICE”
They will have to be mining Asteroids and other planets before there will be enough resources for even 25 percent electric. Unless they can scale battery 80 percent smaller and get a hydrogen hybrid to charge it on the fly, similar to gas hybrids bit using hydrogen. That’s probably take about until the world ends due to Human destroying it.
I’ve had two sold orders sitting for six months. GM hasn’t picked them up.
Anybody know anybody who could convert a Camaro into a legitimate Buick Avista?
I can’t stand the Camaro front, can’t stand the tail, can’t stand the rear window kink, can’t stand the interior aside from the seats, but from an engineering standpoint I love the car and would love to have one!
I also often wondered if someone could build an Avista.
One of GM’s sexiest designs ever.
It probably would have to be Foose or some builder like him, and then it would probably cost a million dollars or more.
And then, would there be copyright/trademark issues? GM would probably sue if someone tried to copy it.
Wouldn’t mind if the 7th gen looked like this.
Just give it an ICE, man trans, and LSRD, and it would be an instant winner.

Got me a 2022 ZL1 Camaro and doctored it up to an Exorcist using Hennessey Performance down in Sealy Texas. Based on the recent announcement regarding the end of the combustion engine Camaro in 2024, you will see me smiling from ear to ear when my car is sold at a Mecum auction in one of the next 5-10 years.
An owner of a 2019 1SS Convertible, the 6.2 LT1 engine with the ten speed automatic is about the best performance and response for a stock setup in GM vehicles. The ten speed is smooth and it shifts so fast that before you know it your ninth gear. Cruising at 80MPH AFM has it in four cylinder mode and you’ll not know it. 455HP and the same for Torque works effortlessly.
They had the best car, but their shortsighted narrow-minded decisions made it the worst. Only GM could mess up as bad as they did on the Camaro.
I’m sure the brass blames the market shift and refuses to acknowledge the real issues.
That’s right – GM had/has the best driveline of the pack and the worst packaging. Mgmt drank the Kool-Aid and counted on the existing fan base, forgetting completely about the conquest buyer who went Ford/Dodge. It was entirely predictable and yet terribly sad to see.
I recall driving.a 2013 5.0 track pack + Recaro seats back to back with a 2013 2SS/1LE….My heart wanted to love the Camaro and support GM but the choice for a daily driver was a no-brainer and the Ford was in my garage that night.
For those who think a car is a retirement purchase, you might get lucky (or might not).
Go on over to Bronco6g. The denial (stupidity?) is in full swing there. Same as the folks on Camaro5g circa 2010, when the Camaro was presold, every lot one was over MSRP, used were worth more than new, people were going to buy them and hoard and retire on the cars, etc.
By late 2011 the gig was up, dealers were calling trying to move the cars well below MSRP however I still wish I had said yes to the salesman when he called offering a new 2015 Z28 for $55k – the wife hated it, and it didn’t have A/C – and maybe even the unsold 2016 1SS for $27k.
Good news for everyone who isn’t a brand loyalist- The Mustang will be new next year. It even looks like a Camaro from some angles. Thankfully without the comical beltline.
have a 23 Camaro with 6cylinder auto, sunroof..about 2700 miles now after recieving it in July after ordering it in February.. its WHITE with silver interior..will take $37000..and its yours..just dont drive enough am in 37174. Tn.
If GM had a clue they would try and follow Ford’s model and offer the consumer choice for both ICE and EV instead of all eggs in one basket. If they actually put out an improved Camaro that fixes the site lines, fixes the bunker like interior, fixes the mail slot trunk opening and gives it great style and an improved interior it will do well enough and is worthy of a 7th gen if this is followed.
You mean the fact that this year GM will options for a gas blazer and an EV blazer. Options of gas equinox and EV equinox, gas Silverado and EV Silverado, and gas Sierra or EV Sierra?
You mean like those kinds of choices?
👍 REALLY INTERESTED.. BLUE COLOR CAMARO IS MY DREAM CAR.
I wonder if you can still get the 1le package with the collector’s edition
