Camaro

The Camaro is a two-door American automobile produced by Chevrolet, a division of General Motors. It was introduced in 1966 for the 1967 model year as GM’s answer to the Ford Mustang, marking Chevrolet’s entry into the growing pony car segment. The name Camaro is commonly said to derive from a French word meaning friend or comrade, and it has long been associated with performance variants within the Chevrolet lineup.

The Camaro has been produced across several generations, with each iteration refining styling, handling and powertrains. The first generation (1967–1969) established the basic layout and offered a range of engine choices. The second generation (1970–1981) featured more angular styling, while the third (1982–1992) emphasized aerodynamics. The fourth generation (1993–2002) brought refined interior and chassis updates. After a hiatus, the model was revived with the fifth generation (2009–2015), built on a newer platform and featuring modern engines. The sixth generation (2016–2024) moved to a different GM platform and introduced turbocharged four-cylinder, V6 and V8 options, along with high-performance variants such as the Z/28, SS and ZL1.

As of 2024, Chevrolet ended production of the Camaro after the sixth generation, making it the final generation to date. The Camaro has had a significant impact on American automotive culture and motorsports, and it remains a recognizable symbol of the muscle-car era.
