The Chevy Camaro Is Coming Back, And It's Bringing A Buick Sedan With It
Key Points:
- Chevrolet is reportedly reviving the Camaro by 2027, using the redesigned Cadillac CT5 platform, marking the muscle car's second comeback after its 2024 discontinuation.
- The new Camaro will likely feature rear-wheel drive and a version of the 2027 Corvette’s 6.7-liter V8 engine, potentially producing around 500 horsepower in SS trim, with hopes for high-performance variants like the ZL1 and Z/28.
- Alongside the Camaro, General Motors plans to introduce a rear-drive Buick four-door sedan based on the same CT5 platform, marking Buick's first rear-drive car in over 30 years.
- These moves aim to maximize production capacity at GM's Lansing Grand River plant and diversify GM’s performance vehicle offerings, providing competition to the Ford Mustang in the muscle car segment.
- The Buick sedan is expected to revive the brand’s sporty heritage with possible turbocharged or supercharged engines, although a manual transmission appears unlikely.
