General Motors executive vice president of Product Development Mark Reuss stated in the official web site of Chevrolet,, "Redesigning the Camaro is thrilling and challenging all at once, but the secret is to offer something more," he said. "For Camaro enthusiasts, it retains iconic design cues and offers even more performance. For a new generation of buyers, the 2016 Camaro incorporates our most innovative engineering ideas with finely honed performance and leading design."

However, industry observers believe the 2016 Camaro has an edge over its nearest rival, the Ford Mustang.

Moving up, a 3.6-liter V6 is the mid-range engine offering 335 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque while a 6.2-liter V8 still acts the top-dog motor making 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque."

Its new engineering design makes its body 28% structurally, removing all the excess weight from the fifth generation predecessor.
