Originally a 1967 model , it's shape and design changed over the years. GM eventually discontinued production after the 2002 model year. 2010 Camaro production began in Oshawa, Ontario on March 16, 2009. The 6th generation Camaro will make a return back to American soil in 2015. Assembly will be at the Grand River Plant in Lansing, Michigan.
An alert photographer captured what is believed to be a Camaro featuring a new style of rear LED tail lamps and side view mirrors. Personally I'd stick with the 2010-2011 tails and mirrors.
The tail lamps look like something out of a JC Whitney catalog and the mirrors look like an old truck with big chrome bolt on trailer mirrors on each side. If dumbo was a Camaro...
As much as we know a mild facelift is coming soon, lets hope these are only test parts on this particular Camaro.
MotorTrend has some other great shots of this car.
Only 24 lucky buyers will get their hands on a 2011 Chevrolet Camaro with the Hennessey HPE700 LS9 treatment. They will be a mix of hardtop and convertible models.
These are not ordinary tuned Camaros. Hennessey has a rich history of tuning factory performance cars and these will have a 755 horsepower version of the LS9 motor currently available in the Corvette ZR1. According to Hennessey, the HPE700 Camaro will do 0-60 mph in 3.3 seconds and the quarter mile in 10.9 seconds at 130 mph, impressive!
The 1969 Camaro ZL-1 may very well be one of the most sought after Camaros ever built. Chevrolet built 69 1969 Camaros with the ZL-1 package, a street legal weapon powered by a 427 Big Block motor, factory exhaust and tires and a 5 year/50,000 mile warranty! These cars could blow through the 1320 in 13 seconds.
Fast forward to 2011, SLP who is no stranger to Camaros, announced they will offer a ZL1 package on the 2011 Camaro SS! Their ad below states they plan to create 69 (coincidence?) and they should have 750 horsepower packed under the hood. We can't wait for these to hit the pavement!

A hero card with an image of this model is attached for reference.
The car is painted Deep Bordeaux and comes with subtle rally stripes. The interior is amber leather offset by black leather side panels and red stitching.

When paired with six-speed manual transmission, the engine delivers 426 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque.
