American automotive giant Chevrolet has made the final decision for its iconic muscle model Camaro. A statement came from the brand about the model, which has been spoken for a while in the automobile community that its production will stop or end. With its decision, the brand may upset the “American muscle car” fans a little. Here are the details about the production of Camaro…
End of the road for the Camaro!
Yes, unfortunately, the end of the road for the Camaro was in sight. American muscle, which has been in production since 1967, has a total of 6 generations. Launched in its first generation with super sport and rally sport versions, the Camaro later became a true American sports car.
Competing with the Ford Mustang model in its first period, the Camaro shared the same infrastructure with the Pontiac Firebird, which was on the market at that time. In its first generation, the Camaro, which was introduced with a completely chrome and grille surrounding the headlights, and the iconic yellow-on-black lines, had a more sporty design when it came to its second generation. Round headlights, which were the trend of the period, came to the fore even more.

In the third and fourth generations, the Camaro again moved away from the muscular appearance in the light of the trends of that period. It has a flatter and curved hood structure towards the bumper. This look moved it away from the American muscle look and closer to the super sports car structure. After the fourth generation, its production was interrupted a little.
After the break in 2002, the legend of the Camaro returned in 2010 with its 5th generation. This generation is actually the model that everyone has seen once and the first thing that comes to mind when the Camaro is mentioned. It also inspired the character of the autobot Bumblebee in the iconic science fiction movie Transformers.
In 2016, very close to the 50th anniversary of the Camaro, the sixth generation was introduced. The sixth generation Camaro mentioned in the generation currently in production. The LT version of this generation gets a 2.0-liter engine or a 3.6-liter V6 engine. These engines produce 275 and 335 horsepower, respectively. The SS version of the sixth generation comes with a 6.2-liter V8 engine with 455 horsepower.
Chevrolet officials reported that the Camaro will be in production by 2024, after which the Camaro legend will end. On the subject, Chevrolet Global Vice President Scott Bell used the following statements:
“As we prepare to say goodbye to the Camaro, we want to show our gratitude to all Camaro customers, our staff on the Camaro assembly line, and the people who are passionate about racing. While we are not releasing any information about the Camaro’s successor to the public today, rest assured, this is not the end of the Camaro model and the Camaro’s story.”
Although the brand does not make a definite statement, it is said that a successor model will come to the Camaro and this model will carry the Camaro’s genes. So what do you think? We are waiting your comments!
