Spy Shots: Camaro SS finally gets busy on the 'Ring



More spy shots from the Nurburgring today, this time of the Camaro SS prototype that was spotted arriving at the track yesterday. We already pointed out the bright red Brembo calipers on this Camaro, which suggest it's a high-performance SS version of the car, though that hasn't been confirmed. What is special about these photos is that they're the first time we've seen the Camaro really being driven hard on the track. Though we've seen plenty of Camaro spy shots in the past, most have been of the car caught in a parking lot, on a transport trailer or just meandering around town. Seeing the suspension under load is a thing of beauty that we've been waiting for, and KGP spy photogs tell us that it "looks impressive in action, and that its suspension looks well buttoned down on some of the 'Ring's challenging stretches." Hopefully they have their stop watches ready when Chevy engineers run the car hard for a full lap.

I hope that hood is tall enough to hide a supercharged 6.2.

You guys are friggin' classic. A bunch of haters. The tail end of the Camaro is all you have to familiarize yourself with anyway. lol


The Challenger is hot, too.

I like the looks, but had you not told me Camaro, from that angle, I would have thought it was a Dodge.

I don't like the front end at all, the rest looks pretty good. It really does look like a Dodge.

Yeah I was thinking kind of like a Challenger with an ugly front end. I like the old Camaros but not sure about this thing.

I agree, I like to know what I'm passing in a blur Camaro, hah, the biggest 'neck ride ever, we pick at the boss man, he has a late 80's model, tell him only cruise in those cars anymore. But it's ok the mustang will do to it what it did to the GTO, send it packing after a few years of failure, or Toyota, Honda, Kia, and Hyundai will toast them all

Yep, shades of the Challenger.
