2025 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Will Send The Camaro Off With A Bang

The sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro will be driving off into the sunset at the conclusion of the 2024 model year and the bowtie brand has something special planned to celebrate the muscle car. According to Car And Driver, a new and all-powerful Z/28 is on its way and it could go on sale as soon as the fall of 2024. This is not the first time we've heard that a new Z/28 is coming so take everything with a grain of salt for now.

Details about the next Z/28 are understandably under lock and key but the report claims the coupe will undergo a serious diet to shave off excess fat, so expect greater use of lightweight materials like carbon fiber, sound deadening removal, thinner glass, and a rear seat delete.

The chassis, the report says, is set to receive spool-valve dampers from Multimatic and carbon-ceramic rotors and calipers from Brembo. Like the fifth-gen Z/28, an aerodynamics package and a unique flat-bottom steering wheel are also highly likely.

As for the powertrain, there's only one engine that'll do the trick: the LT6. Yes, that's the same 5.5-liter V8 found in the Corvette Z06. With up to 670 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, the naturally aspirated LT6 might have to undergo some adjustments going from Corvette to Camaro, so we wouldn't be surprised to see output changed slightly.

Using the LT6 is also a smart business move because it would allow GM to recover some additional investment and R&D costs. After all, it's only being used in one vehicle right now.

We'd ideally love to see a six-speed manual used but that'll probably depend on whether or not GM can find one that can handle the LT6's insane output. That might require a horsepower downgrade to 600 hp, which would be 100 hp more than the fifth-gen Z/28, which had 505 hp and 481 lb-f on tap courtesy of the LT7 naturally aspirated V8.
