2010 Chevy Camaro Showing Off Best Shots Yet Of DI V6 Engine?

You may have been thinking General Motors has timed their muscle car revival all wrong, what with the 2010 Chevy Camaro coming out just as gas hits $51 per gallon. But see that's just what they want — to make driving this car an indulgence. And why wouldn't it be? Especially as it now appears that although the V8-engined 2010 Camaro SS may be getting all the attention, the V6 is going to pack quite a punch as well. These new shots from the forum fan-boys looking beyond the F-body at Camaro5 give us the clearest look yet under the hood of the six-cylinder model. But this does not appear to be your grandpa's engine.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro Interior With Automatic Transmission, Shunt In Trunk

We've seen snaps of the interior on the 2010 Chevy Camaro before, but none as automatic transmission equipped as these. Camaro5 has got a series of some real nice up-close and personal images of the Camaro to be and things are looking pretty decent. We're still not real sure on the Playstation inspired controls under the head unit, but if GM is happy licensing designs from Sony we've got no problem with it. We guess we'll find out all the details for sure later this summer at the Woodward Dream Cruise if the rumors we've heard lately and the winks and nods we're hearing from GM PR are true.

The New Chevy Camaro Can Make A Soundgasmic Video At The Nürburgring Too

We know you've seen the 2010 Chevy Camaro plenty of times by now, but trust us, you haven't heard it quite like this. It must be the fanboys at Camaro5's response to Lexus trying to steal the spy video thunder with the LF-A video from earlier. Because thunder is exactly what the Camaro's big 'merican V8 sounds like as it races around the famed German track. The video is over six minutes of rumbling goodness, so you might want to let it load a bit before watching. Ooh, and look, a Pontiac G8 GXP was there too.

2010 Chevy Camaro SS Caught On Nurburgring, Stig At The Wheel?

Some say he was once a victim of American "friendly fire." Others say he used to be a GM engineer until Bob Lutz rubbed him the wrong way. But all we know is, he's called "The Stig" — or maybe it's his fat 'merican cousin — and he appears to be taking the new 2010 Chevy Camaro SS out for a 'ring run. Wait, what? That's right, although we knew the 2010 Chevy Camaro had taken to the Nürburgring earlier this week in what we've been told is das SuperSport (or because it's Germany does the "SS" mean something different — SuperAuto Motor und Sport, perhaps?) mode (check out the Brembos), we didn't know they'd be taping an episode of "Gear" at the same time. But how'd the Camaro handle? Well, check out the full and slightly skinny-on-details description from the spy shooters at KGP below the jump.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro Ogled By Forum Members - New Info Leaked

Very interesting news about the new 2010 Chevrolet Camaro coming out of the oft first-to-know Camaro5 forums. Seems a handful of their number were offered the chance to tour the Mesa Arizona hot weather testing grounds and managed to see a couple of Camaros up close and personal. When asking engineers some questions, interesting things can come up, such as the possibility of a supercharger option, an independent rear suspension unlike the GTO setup, an inferred weight between 3,300 lbs and 4,000 lbs. and what's this — flappy paddle shifters? Very interesting.

2010 Chevy Camaro "SS" Caught On Drive In The Mountains?

Oh look, it's another purported Chevy Camaro SS out testing. Not much more to see than what we've already seen before — hockey sticks on the side, big tomahawk-stripe down the hood. What's under the hood is the real question — is this an up-powered mullet-mobile, or merely a "prettied-up" 'maro tester like the highly accessorized Camaro we saw yesterday? [via Camaro5]

2010 Chevy Camaro Accessories Sneak Peak

Those rascally fellows over at Camaro5 snagged a video of the latest and greatest Camaro tease. Global Accessories Design Manager Larry Sully does his best Bob Lutz impression and lifts the skirt of the pending 2010 Chevrolet Camaro to reveal optional body work that's being worked up as we speak. We can also see a monstrous spoiler perched on the rear deck which remains under cover. Sully also mentions the design is doing well considering the car is a year from launch - which puts the start of production sometime in March 2009 unless he was speaking loosely. We're wondering if the peek we get is supposed to show the body work, or the rectangular exhaust tips which recall the last generation Camaro.

Extra Flavor, Extra Fun: Twin Black Camaros Caught On Camera

Looks like the 2010 Chevy Camaro dressed in black travels like Doublemint gum. These twin black Chevys were caught down in Tampa continuing the bow-tied brand's moist-weather testing. Again, we're just happy we don't have to see them in "p***y magnet" Velocity yellow again. No new Camaro should ever come in that color — unless it's gussied-up with go faster stripes on the hood and top for a Camaro-cameo in a movie by Michael Bay.

2010 Chevy Camaro Caught Wearing Velocity Yellow

It may work on the new 2008 Corvette, but on the 2010 Chevy Camaro, we're not so sure Canary "Velocity Yellow" works for the new muscular mullet-mobile. Maybe if it had a couple of black go-faster stripes on the hood. Then we'd have a Bumblebee edition — and yes, we'd be all over that one. But plain yellow? Umm, no. So — we've now seen the new Camaro in black, white and zebra — and now "Velocity Yellow." By the way — we'd like to point out that "Velocity" yellow is like "P***y Magnet" yellow, except faster. GM, please get a red tester on the road ASAP so we can make fun of the full range of colors. Well, except for black. We like black — because you know what they say about once you go black. That's right, you never go white — in Camaro colors. Full spy report below the jump.

2010 Camaro Back In Black, Now In Video

While yesterday we showed you the first spy photo of a purported 2010 Chevy Camaro SS, now we've got some video of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro driving around in that slick black paint we've seen spy photos of it wearing. Ok, so it's no Camaro SS but... More »

2010 Chevy Camaro Caught In Florida, Gleaming White

Well, we really like the 2010 Chevy Camaro in black. Seriously — a lot. But in white? Not so much. Never matter, we're always happy to see new details on the new muscle car from the General's budget bargain basement brand. So what's the new detail we found — other than we really don't like the new mullet-mobile in white? Well, the engineering team is in Florida along I-75 with at least one white and one black Camaro and they're doing testing of the engine to see how it performs in high humidity. Well, guess they didn't want to wait for the summer in Detroit, eh? We've included two more shots below, as well as the rest of our spy photos of the new 2010 Chevy Camaro.

2010 Chevy Camaro Is Better In Black

UPDATE:New shots, more shots — yes, we're swimming in the Aussie muscle-love. Yup, just like the camo-heavy shots we've already seen, these new sans-camouflage shots of the upcoming production version of the Chevy Camaro show us the new mullet-mobile is definitely hotter dressed up in black. I don't even think we need to say anything more about it — well — except for maybe that interior's still looking pretty similar to the spy shots of the interior we've already shown you. So take that, Mr. Welburn. (Hat tip to Jon, Jason and Brandon!)

Ed Welburn Says Camaro Interior Spy Photos Are Bunk, Confirms SS

Oh Muscle Car Wars, how much teasing will we be forced to endure? GM Design chief Ed Welburn divulged some interesting facts to Bill Bortzfield from Jacksonville.com about the 2009 Chevy Camaro at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance this weekend. Welburn first lets slip that they'll have "the base model and the SS," thereby all but confirming an SS model. He then proceeds to rip into our exclusive and frequently-maligned spy shots of the 2009 Camaro interior and engine bay, saying "The production interior is better than the concept... what has been on the internet were engineering mules... those were the images that leaked out." Is it an excuse, the truth or are they just buying time while they make tweaks? Or perhaps all you unruly fan-boys merely mistook plastic floor sheeting and Holden seating as "production level." Only time will tell. [Jacksonville.com]

2009 Chevy Camaro Caught In Winter Wonderland of Detroit, Still Blurry

Maybe the 2009 Chevy Camaro just wants to build a snowman. Or maybe just do some figure eights. Whatever the reason, the quick-to-the-shot spy shooters at KGP have snagged some photos of the 2009 Chevy Camaro playing around in the snowy winter wonderland that is Detroit. While the shots aren't exactly like the Camaro interior pictures or the Camaro engine bay shots we showed you a few weeks back, they do share a striking similarity — both are blurry as all get out. Full spy report from KGP after the jump.

2009 Chevrolet Camaro Fuel Door Location, Rear Light Colors Revealed

These new photos of a disguised 2009 Chevy Camaro reveal for the first time the location of the fuel door in the right rear quarter panel. It had been rumored the gas cap would be upward facing, as on the concept. Also evident in these photos are amber turn signals in the rear fascia. These shots were taken in Australia, where that color turn signal lense is required, so US market Camaros could still feature all red rear lenses. [Via Camaro5.com]

First 2009 Chevy Camaro Engine Bay Photos, Also With Motion Blur

Well, it's certainly been raining spy photos of the 2009 Chevy Camaro around these parts this week, isn't it? First it was our first set of interior photos of the new Camaro, and then word last night Chevy's new two-door man-o-war was making its way into LA. Our super-secret sources have snapped some more blurry camera phone shots for us of Chevy's new muscle car and for the first time we're able to take a look at the engine bay of the new RWD Aussie mullet-master. Unfortunately, it's only housing an engine with a 6 in it rather than a big ol' V8, but beggars can't be choosers. We're assuming that's the 3.6-liter that's currently found in the Pontiac G8. In addition to the engine pr0n, we've also got a hot shot of interior shots — with a little bit more detail than before. So what can we now say conclusively? Well, we're liking the door panels and the lighting on the center stack is helping to make things look a little bit less plastic-y. And check out that halo of light around the tach and speedo! And oh yes, it appears the Camaro will have OnStar.
