Speculation is continuing to grow around the upcoming 2016 Chevrolet Camaro as more spy shots roll in. Confirmed details at this point are basically nonexistent, but we do know the upcoming Camaro will have a more evolutionary update versus a more extensive redesign. Now let’s add some fuel to the speculation fire with our new, highly detailed rendering.
While there are few confirmed facts, we do know the car will ride on GM’s proven Alpha platform.The Camaro will share that platform with the Cadillac ATS and the recently reworked CTS sedans. Still rear-wheel drive, the updated platform will allow Chevy to better compete with the independent rear suspension setup underpinning the new 2015 Ford Mustang.
But The General can’t mess too much with success. The current Camaro is already selling like hotcakes to the tune of 80,567 units in 2013, besting the current-gen Mustang’s 77,200 sales figure and blasting the Dodge Challenger’s 51,500 units sold. That’s why Chevy’s prodigious performance recipe needs to remain familiar.
"The difference between the existing and redesigned (Camaro) is not drastically different,” an industry insider who’s seen the new car told Edmunds. “It looks like a worked-over current-model Camaro. It is on a different platform, so that is a significant difference, but when they modified it to be on a different platform, the styling did not change that much."
We still expect to see obvious changes to the Camaro’s existing design, both inside and out. It’s highly likely Chevy will pour money into the cabin in an effort to surpass the new Mustang’s rather luxurious appointments. What’s more, Chevy may decide to offer a forced-induction four-cylinder in response to the Mustang’s 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine. Seems convenient the ATS and CTS have a 2.0-liter, turbo, I-4 mill to loan out. Whether GM will allow the Camaro to offer a four-cylinder option is still unknown, but there’s plenty more speculation on the topic past the jump.
Updated 10/06/2014: We created a series of renderings for the next-generation Camaro that will help you make an idea on what to expect from the model. Check them out after the jump.
