The Exterior

The exterior styling resembles the 1969's with the deeply set headlamps and grille, as well as the three slits ahead of the rear wheel opening. Missing from the concept car is the roll down rear quarter windows, which resulted in a true hard top appearance. Instead, a fixed rear quarter window which covers the B-pillar for improved body integrity. Camaro is once again a 2 door coupe, dismissing the hatchback body configuration of the previous two generations. Like all Camaros of the past, the door glass is frameless. The door handles are now the GM standard style body color "grab" handles which are far more practical and produceable than the style of the concept car. Another practical feature of the production car will be outside rearview mirrors which mimmick the shape of those from the concept but possess a much larger surface area.

The frontal appearance is an identity all it's own, yet is easily recognized as Camaro. The grill has the character of the 1969 version despite being of a heavier mesh. In keeping with the current Chevrolet theme, the bow-tie is gold, not the blue of yesteryear. The headlamps are single, round units with the turn signal lamps nestled to the inside. Two headlamp applications will be offered, standard halogen or High Intensity Discharge (HID) units with "halo ring" display when the RS Equipment is ordered. On the 1969 models, the positioning of the front parking lamps simulated fog lamps, on the 2010, they are real fog lamps. On SS models, a revised front fascia is used with a stronger lower splitter (spoiler) as well as "bumps" which give the appearance of the front bumper being pushed outward on the corners.

The body lines are as crisp and delightful today as they were in 2006 when the concept was shown. The hood retains the "power bulge" that was a character trait of the '69 Z28. The slit that was seen on the concept car will be missing on all but the SS versions of the Camaro, and unfortunately, the opening will be non-functional. The body has subtley flared rear fenders, not enough to be boy-racerish, but just enough to show prowess. The fenders and the beltline sweep have similar characteristics of the first generation cars. On the roof, there is a lengthwise depression that GM is referring to as a "reverse mohawk" treatment.

At the rear are four individual taillamps, reminescent of the 1970-73 round taillamp arrangement. All will have a dual outlet exhaust system with V6 cars having 3" diameter chrome tips and 3.75" tips for V8 cars.Atop the decklid, there's an available rear spoiler that's standard on SS and available on LTs as part of the RS Equipment.

The palate for Camaro is ten colors deep, being comprised of: Victory Red, Black, Rally Yellow, Silver Ice Metallic, Cyber Gray Metallic, Aqua Blue Metallic, Inferno Orange Metallic, Imperial Blue Metallic, and Red Jewel Tintcoat which is an extra cost color. White will join the selection later in production.

Wheels for the new Camaro will be varied and dependent on trim level. For the base Camaro, the LS, an 18 by 7.5-inch steel wheel, which is being referred to as a "Heritage" wheel will be the standard and only avaialable wheel. BFGoodrich will be the supplier and the size will be P245/55R18 and will have an all-season tread. LT Camaros are a bit more complicated with there being a choice of 18, 19 or 20-inch wheels being offered. The construction of the wheels are aluminum. The wheels will be painted and the 19-inch variety being available in a polished finish. Widths of the wheels are 7.5-inch for the 18-inch and 8.0-inch for the 19-inch and 20-inch front, with the 20-inch rears being 9.0-nches. The tire sizes are both 245mm in section width with the 19" tires having a 50% aspect ratio versus 55%; both tires are all-season radials. The 20inch wheels, which are available with the RS Equipment, are painted Midnight Silver and come with summer treaded P245/45ZR20 front and P275/40ZR20 rear tires. As on the LS, BFGoodrich will be the tire supplier for the 118-inch tires while Pirelli will supply the 19 and 20-inch sizes SS models will have P245/45ZR20 sized tires in the front and P275/40ZR20 at the rear in a summer tire tread pattern, also supplied by Pirelli. The wheels will be 20 x 8-inch fronts, and 20 x 9-inch rears; painted will be the standard appearance and polished will be optional.
