Chevrolet Camaro News
-
The Camaro is one of GM's worst kept secrets at the moment, with details of its engine line-up, specifications and performance capabilities common knowledge around the internet. But until now, the convertible version has received less attention and fewer updates than its hardtop sibling. Thanks to Ed Peper's latest post on GM's Fastlane Blog, we get a tiny taste of the topless preproduction car ahead of its official reveal. Shown with a minimum of information and the disclaimer that anything and everything may change before production, the car adheres very closely to the lines of both the...

Speaking at the New York auto show today GM Vice Chairman Bob Lutz said the engine from the high-performance versions of the Pontiac Solstice and Saturn Sky could make its way under the hood of the new Camaro.
