Spy Shots: Undisguised Chevrolet Camaro

Posted Mon Mar 10 2008 5:10 PM by James Martinez

After GM released a number of images of an undisguised Chevrolet Camaro testing at Holden’s proving grounds in Australia, developers back in the U.S. seem unfazed about onlookers taking more photos of the upcoming car as it undergoes final testing. This latest mule was captured testing in the humid climates of Florida and reveals almost all of the exterior details bar some small camo gear covering the headlights.

The photos of the car were taken by a guy named Corey R and were originally posted here. The photographer claims the GM engineers allowed him to take as many snaps as he wanted as long as he didn’t take pics of the interior. Some of the finer details include a new rear diffuser, integrated fog lamps, 20in alloys, and a small air-intake just above the leading edge of the bonnet.

Expect to see a similar engine lineup as in the Pontiac G8, as the Camaro is based on the same platform as the Aussie built sedan. This means V8 models will get the same 360hp (270kW) 6.0L V8 engine. GM engineers are also tipped to be working on a new Gen IV V8 engine with direct-injection that could make its way into a high-performance version of the upcoming Camaro with output estimated to be more than 400hp (298kW). Base models, meanwhile, will get a 3.6L V6 mill.

Thanks to Tim for sending in the tip.
