The 2024 Chevy Camaro will stand as the final model year of the sixth-generation Bow Tie muscle car. While all the recent news surrounding the 2024 Camaro has revolved around the send-off Collector’s Edition package, GM Authority has learned that the Camaro will lose a wheel option for the upcoming model year.
Sources close to the matter tell GM Authority that the 2024 Camaro will ditch the 20-Inch Caliente wheels (RPO code 57V). Currently, the 20-inchers are a $400 standalone option on the 2023 Camaro 1SS and 2SS trim levels.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time the Caliente wheels have been dropped from the sixth-generation Camaro’s option list. Back in May 2021, GM Authority reported that the 20-inch wheel option was no longer available. Eventually, the Caliente wheels made a comeback for the 2023 model year.
For those who haven’t been keeping up with the recent sixth-gen Camaro news, here’s a quick recap. Following the 2024 model year, the Bow Tie brand’s iconic muscle car will officially sunset with no clear successor on the immediate horizon. For now, the focus is on the 2024 Chevy Camaro Collector’s Edition. Intended as a send-off package, each properly equipped unit will feature a unique front fender script and a panther on the steering wheel badge, unique floor mats with a laser-etched aluminum Collector’s Edition logo, and unique black interior bits, as well as trim-specific exterior goodies.

As a reminder, the current Camaro is available with a suite of powertrain options, including the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LTG gasoline engine, the atmospheric 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine, the atmospheric 6.2L V8 LT1 gasoline engine, and the supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4 gasoline engine. However, the 2.0L LTG engine and the eight-speed automatic transmission will be discontinued for the 2024 model year, as is the Camaro’s base 1LS trim level.
Under the skin, the Camaro rides on the GM Alpha platform, while production of the 2024 model is currently scheduled to kick off in August 2023 at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

Little g little m sure knows how to kill off a car having seen this time after time, model after model: Show indifference to any enthusiasm or promotion, make it hard to get or order, and for the few actually available chip away at options, accessories, and anything else a Camaro enthusiast might be interested in, and, turn your back on development or updating a once proud model with gobs of history. Yet one more heritage model kicked down the road…but alas, sacking the company coffers for that golden parachute and R & D for EV this EV that, and by all means pen another little boring suv. Seems to me gm has been losing it’s way for many years this just being one more example.
I’d just like to see it redesigned to ditch the Transformers look it’s been rocking for 16 years.
