History

CAMARO

Six generations, almost six decades of rivalry with the Mustang and a legion of fans all over the world — Brazil included.

1. 1966

   The answer to the Mustang

   Developed under the code name “Panther”, the Camaro was unveiled in September 1966 as a 1967 model, on GM's new F-body platform.

2. 1967–1969

   1st generation

   Coupe and convertible, with packages that became legends: RS (Rally Sport, with hidden headlights), SS (Super Sport) and the Z/28, created for Trans-Am racing.

3. 1970–1981

   2nd generation

   Launched in February 1970, with longer, lower lines inspired by European sports cars. It is the longest-running Camaro generation. From 1978 on it got body-colored bumpers — the look of our 1980 RS.

4. 1982–1992

   3rd generation

   Lighter and more modern, with a glass hatchback and fuel injection. The highlight is the IROC-Z, named after a drivers' championship.

5. 1993–2002

   4th generation

   Rounded body lines and, from 1998, the all-aluminum LS1 V8. Production ended in 2002.

6. 2010–2015

   5th generation: the comeback

   After a concept shown in 2006, the Camaro returned with a retro design inspired by the 1969 model — and became a movie star as Bumblebee.

7. 2016–2024

   6th generation

   Lighter and more agile, on the Alpha platform. Versions such as the ZL1 and ZL1 1LE took performance to new heights. Production ended in late 2023, with the last 2024 models.
