Report: Chevrolet Camaro Set for 2027 Return on Evolved Rear-Drive Platform

Supplier guidance points to meaningful volumes that signal GM expects real demand.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on Wednesday reported GM plans to restart Camaro production in late 2027 at the Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.
  • The next model is reported to use an updated version of GM’s Alpha II rear-wheel-drive platform shared with Cadillac’s CT5 and a coming Buick sedan.
  • Reporting notes the architecture supports four-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines and would likely accept GM’s new sixth-generation small-block V8.
  • Automotive News cited a supplier saying GM is targeting about 60,000 to 70,000 combined CT5 and Camaro units per year at the Lansing factory.
  • GM Authority hinted the car may not follow the expected formula, with speculation about a possible four-door, and a return would reconnect Chevy’s NASCAR and Supercars entries to a current road car.
