2010 Chevy Camaro: From Concept To Reality

The most striking feature of the unveil of the new Camaro was how strikingly similar the 2010 Chevy Camaro is to the Camaro Concept. We enlisted the help of GM designer Jeff Perkins, who worked extensively on the new muscle car, to help us with the magnifying glass and determine what those changes were. Hit the jump as Jeff guides us through sort of virtual walk-around, pointing out each of the individual tweaks and changes the designers made to bring the concept to production. More »

Video: New Camaro Playing Sweet V8-Powered Music On Main Street

No, you didn't read that wrong. Our sources tell us those idling sounds you hear in the above video received anonymously from one of our tipsters (who we're still waiting for an e-mail back from!) aren't coming from a plain-Jane direct-inject 3.6-liter V6 engine. Nope, apparently the new Chevy Camaro painted hot rod red shown to journalists in Metro Detroit last night had either the big 6.2-liter LS3 V8 and its whopping 422 HP. That's enough power to take the Camaro SS around Germany's famed Nurburgring with a time of 8:20. How do we know it was the LS3 and not the new Active Fuel Managed L99 V8 with the same displacement? Well, this particular Camaro's got a manual transmission. So yes friends, this is the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS — dressed up as a 2010 Chevy Camaro RS. Yeah baby, it's a sleeper! Nice. Also, see if you can spot Jalopnik's fearless leader for some bonus points.

First Driving Video Of The New Chevy Camaro!

Well, first driving video of the production version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro, anyway. Sure, there's been two-and-a-half years of spy photos, videos and what have you, but here's B-Roll of the real deal. It goes like a nice Chianti with the leaked photos revealed on Friday, some fava beans and the live reveal you'll see here tomorrow afternoon at 4:00 PM. Sure, we wish there were some sounds of the new Chevy Camaro to go along with the video. Unfortunately, some silly site* we liberated this GM PR video from (its from an 800-lb consumer site with the inside line on how to get video from Chevy) decided to do a voice over instead of giving enthusiasts the chance to really here that Camaro purr. Bad consumer site, bad! Whatever. Anyway, hit the jump for our galleries on the new muscle car from the General.

The New Chevy Camaro In A Skittles-Like Rainbow Of Colors, What's Your Favorite?

Although we've already seen the 2010 Chevy Camaro revealed in three colors, the crazy kids over at CarScoop have decided the new Chevy Camaro RS needs to be seen in more than just plain-Jane colors like red, yellow and silver. They've Photoshopped a veritable Skittles-like rainbow of colorgasmic flavors for the new Chevy Camaro. Check out the front ends over here, then head on over to CarScoop to check out the hot rear action. Although we''re partial to pink on the new mullet-mobile, what's your favorite flavor? Better question — anyone want to take a few moments in P-shop themselves to mock up what colors and decals you'd drop atop Chevy's new muscle car? We'll do a post showing off the best tomorrow afternoon before the official unveiling at 4:00 PM EST.

Dale Earnhardt Takes The New Camaro Sideways With CNBC On Secret Aussie Test Track

While yesterday gave us our first look at the un-camouflaged new Chevy Camaro, who knew CNBC's Phil LeBeau had a scoop that'd put our blow-the-top-off coverage of Chevy's new muscle car to shame with the mullet-wearing demographic? He's got NASCAR star-of-stars Dale Earnhardt, Jr. ripping the new 2010 Chevy Camaro sideways through a secret test track somewhere in the Aussie outback in this new video over at CNBC. Though the 2010 Camaro is still wearing some serious body camo cladding, we're totally loving the screechingly good music coming from those rear tires. However, we'll try to ignore that "body roll" comment, because perhaps Dale just doesn't know that drive impressions are probably embargoed for sometime next year. Well, whatever. By the way, we've got a whole mess of new shots of the new Chevy Camaro RS below — now looking yellow, red and silver — so pick your color pleasure. [CNBC via Camaro5]

Latest by LandofMinos and the Adventures of Governor Frontbottom: Sound like Dale was driving the V6. I suspect the V6 would have the more softer suspension tune given that(IMO) most buyers of the V6 would be hairdressers (a generalisation, not literal. Ok kids?) more »

Production 2010 Chevy Camaro Revealed!

This is it. The 2010 Chevy Camaro, revealed in all its glory. According to details we've been told by the folks breaking the embargo, the new Chevy Camaro will come in LS, LT and SS (yes, we know there's a badge there that says "RS")— and be available in either 6-speed manual or auto flavors. Under the hood, a 296 HP 3.6-liter V6 or a 416 HP 6.2-liter V8 with cylinder deactivation. And check out that interior — looks very muscular to us. Weight? How about 3,747 lb — lighter than the Challenger. Full details below the jump. UPDATE: Now we've got even more pictures!

2010 Chevy Camaro SS To Star Alongside Christian Slater In New NBC Show

Alright, so there's this guy, Harvey Spivey, who's an efficiency expert. He lives the typical suburban life: wife, two kids, dog, minivan, self hatred. Basically, he's the total opposite of Edward Albright, a 2010 Chevy Camaro SS driving, multilingual, lethal operative. But get this: they share the same body. Whoa.

2010 Chevy Camaro Production Announcement Coming July 22nd?

Apparently, according to the Camaro forum fan-boys at 5thgen, there's some sort of announcement coming on July 22nd for the 2010 Chevy Camaro. They're claiming it'll be the official announcement of production. We're claiming we'll wait and see what happens. But ooh, they've even got a digital clock and everything! [Countdown to Camaro]

Video: Bumblebee Shows Off His Newish Camaro SS Nose

It might be from a low-quality cameraphone, but here are the first images of the brand new 2010 Chevy Camaro SS-bodied Bumblebee from the upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen movie. In addition to the side shot we saw yesterday, this new shot gives us some full frontal muscle car action via a much improved look at Bumblebee's newish nose — which may very well be actual SS styling. And then there's the video — we can barely make out the sweet up-powered Camaro engine music. But the taste is all we need. More pictures below the jump. More »

Looks Like Bumblebee Gets An Upgrade To Chevy Camaro SS For Transformers 2

Update: We managed to snag some clearer pictures and video of the Bumblebee version of the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Caught hot on the set of Transformers 2, the next iteration of Bumblebee seems to have been augmented with a very snazzy, very different 2010 Chevy Camaro SS treatment than we've seen in the past. Could this be the first glimpse we get of the as-yet unseen version for the bow tie brand? We like to think yes, or it's just a piece of magic. As far as Bumblebee's new choice of wheels, we're a little disappointed, we always imagined giant, intergalactic transforming robots had better taste than that.

Chevrolet Breaks Out The Cheepnis To Move The Volcanic 1967 Camaro

Chevrolet's Mustang fighter was a big deal when first unveiled, and The General figured they'd need to break out the big guns when it came to advertising the new '67 Camaro. Spare no expense! So, of course, they hired a crew of cut-rate special-effects technicians from the set of a made-for-TV monster movie and put together this fine advertisement. Make the jump to experience some more Cheepnis, courtesy of Mr. Zappa. More »

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.
