Chevrolet’s Camaro turns 50 next year and the Bowtie brand is celebrating with a special edition trim. It will be offered on the 2017 Camaro, but only for top-trim versions of the V-6 and V-8-powered models.

Fiat’s feisty 500 Abarth is getting a major update. Look for new styling, a new dash and perhaps even more power under the hood.

Volvo’s official performance division Polestar has got into the performance parts business. It has a range of new factory-supported performance upgrades, though right now they are only available for the S60, V60 and XC60, as well as the V40 sold overseas.

You'll find all of these stories and more in today's car news, right here at Motor Authority.
