The Chevrolet Camaro recently returned to the Z28 model, and the ones made in 2010-2015, otherwise known as the fifth generation of Camaros have quite a name to uphold.  The sixth generation of Camaros will begin with the 2016 version, and we are only getting glimpses of them before any grand and formal announcement has been made.  This is what is currently known about the 2016 Chevy Camaro Z28 Review, release date, specs, and price, along with some recent video footage. 

According to the Car Specs YouTube site on the 2016 Camaro Z28, there hasn't been any information about its engine released yet.  However, judging by the 2015 edition of the Camaro Z28, which has a V8 7.0 liter to produce 505 horsepower, with 470 lb-feet of torque.  The thing that Chevrolet will probably improve on the 2016 model is the drivetrain. 

Many improvements for the 2016 model will most likely be in the exterior.  It will have the same body line that has made the Chevy Camaro a household name, but the car weight will be lighter as it has a smaller body than that of its predecessor.  Smaller seems to be what is going to happen this year and this will probably translate to faster.  There is a rear spoiler on the back which will increase the car's performance. 

The one thing that isn't seen on the previously mentioned Car Stats YouTube Video is the interior.  If it is anything like Camaros of the past, you can count on elegance as well as sleekness on the seats or the dashboard. 

Road and Track had a chance to look at the 2016 Bumblebee Camaro, and they describe the exterior as being both leaner and "angrier" than the 2015 edition.  Part of it is the sleeker roofline as well as the shorter wheelbase, and the headlamps are deeply recessed in split upper grill.  The headlights also look a little bit like the 2015 Mustang.  It doesn't feel right to say that, as any fan of the Camaro knows that the Mustang is the mortal enemy of the Camaro, a rivalry that has existed for decades. 

Another shift that has been made is that the 2016 Camaro is under the GM Alpha platform.  For those that are not aware of this, it currently underpins General Motor's compact to mid-size, front-engine, rear-wheel and four-wheel drives. The Platform basics include MacPherson struts on the front, 5 link independent rear, use of high strength steel and aluminum, plus a focus on reducing weight. 

Since the 2016 Camaro Z28 is under development, there is no word about the release date or price, according to Newest Cars 2016.  Chevrolet will be certain to make a formal announcement on this one, so we can look forward to knowing that vital information as well as what the interior is like.
