GM Bringing Back Chevy Camaro in 2027
When General Motors canceled the Chevrolet Camaro at the end of the 2024 model year, rumors were already in full swing about when it would return and in what form. Multiple reports now claim that the vehicle will return in 2027 as a 2028 model.
Accordingly GM Official reportThe automaker has given the green light to bring back Chevy’s pony car, and it’s expected to arrive next year.
Perhaps most importantly, the returning Camaro won’t have an all-electric powertrain as often speculated, but will instead stick to its internal combustion roots. There are no additional details regarding which powertrain or powertrains will be offered.
By the end of the sixth generation, it could be offered with one of three options: a 3.6-liter V6 producing 335 horsepower, a 6.2-liter V8 LT1 producing 455 horsepower, or a 6.2-liter V8 LT4 producing 650 horsepower. Chevy’s current lineup of crossovers and the Corvette feature some gas-only tunes, including the 3.6-liter DOHC 6-cylinder engine used as a performance option for the Blazer. It produces 308 hp as currently configured, but it won’t take much time to tune it back to 335 hp or more.
A hybrid may be in the works, and that’s part of the speculation that the Camaro will return. But the company already offers an electric sports car in the form of the 2027 Chevrolet Corvette Grand Sport X, which attaches an electric motor to the front axle, boosting it to 721 horsepower. Before this, there was Corvette E-Ray, which also had a hybrid structure. It’s being pushed aside in favor of the Grand Sport X.
Ford is touting the need to have a pony car in its product portfolio, despite pressure from market forces to reintroduce gas-powered vehicles. The Mustang is currently the company’s only high-volume production car.
