2016 Chevy Camaro Spied Close Up

The upcoming redesigned 2016 Chevy Camaro has been spied testing once again. 

These latest spy photos show the car close up, giving us a good view of some of the design details. The headlight and taillight design is clearly visible along with the new grille and lower air dam, all of which carry sharper lines than the current car.

The new Camaro will be built on the Alpha rear-wheel drive platform that underpins both the Cadillac ATS and CTS. Both a 3.6-liter V6 and 6.2-liter V8 will still be available with the new Camaro, though a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine is expected to join the lineup to help fight the EcoBoost Mustang.

“We kept the cornering confidence and control that make the Gen 5 Camaro 1LE so fun to drive, and added a greater sense of agility,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “The new Camaro brakes harder, flicks into corners more quickly, and drives out of the corner faster. We expect it will set the benchmark in the segment and give many sports cars a challenge.”

Chevy has already confirmed that the new Camaro will lose roughly 200 lbs compared to the current car, putting the curb weight of the lightest version at around 3,500 lbs.

The unveiling of the new Camaro will take place on May.16 at Detroit’s Belle Isle.
