Chevrolet Camaro's Story Isn't Over After 2024, Brand Confirms
The slumping Chevrolet Camaro, which has been rumoured to get the axe in the near future, will continue to exist after all.
While announcing that the sixth-generation Camaro will retire after the 2024 model year, its ninth on the market, the company today confirmed that there will be another sequel. What shape will it take on and what type of powertrain will it use? That’s still a mystery.
“As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Global Chevrolet. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”
According to a July 2021 report by Automotive News, the bowtie-wearing muscle car was going to make room for a performance EV sedan (that may or may not retain the Camaro name) in 2024, as this teaser from March 2020 seemed to suggest.
For now, we can also tell you that the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro will roll off the line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan for the final time next January. A Collector’s Edition package (shown in the teaser above) will be offered on the Camaro RS and SS, as well as on a limited number of ZL1-equipped cars in North America. In many ways, it will celebrate the development of the first-generation Camaro in the 1960s, most notably the program’s initial code name: ‘Panther.’
Chevrolet says that more information on the 2024 Camaro lineup and Collector’s Edition package will be available closer to the start of orders this summer.
