There is no 2027 Chevy Camaro you can buy. Chevrolet ended Camaro production after the 2024 model year, and it skipped 2025, 2026, and 2027. The good news is that the Camaro is coming back. Multiple reports in 2026 say GM has approved a seventh-generation Camaro that will be built at its Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan, with production expected to start in fall 2027. That timing makes the new car a 2028 Camaro, not a 2027. GM hasn’t officially announced it yet.
So when people search for the “2027 Camaro,” they’re really asking about the next-generation car that should start production in 2027. This guide explains what’s confirmed, what’s reported, and what’s still just a rumor: engines, the SS, ZL1 and Z28, a possible 4-door or EV version, price, and the release date.
Is the Chevy Camaro coming back in 2027?
The Camaro is coming back, but not as a 2027 model. Here’s what’s known:
- Confirmed: GM ended sixth-generation Camaro production in January 2024. The 2024 model was the last one.
- Reported: In April 2026, Automotive News reported (citing a GM supplier) that a next-generation Camaro will be built at Lansing Grand River Assembly alongside the Cadillac CT5 and a new Buick sedan.
- Reported: Production is expected to begin in fall 2027, which means it will be sold as a 2028 model.
- Not confirmed: GM and Chevrolet have not made an official announcement or shown the car.
That’s why there is no 2027 Chevy Camaro price, no 2027 configurator, and no 2027 Camaros for sale. The next one to show up in showrooms should be the 2028 model, likely in late 2027 or early 2028.
Chevy Camaro coming back 2026 or 2027?
Neither year will have a new Camaro on sale. 2026 is a gap year with no Camaro. In 2027, the new car is expected to enter production late in the year. The first deliveries are most likely to happen in early 2028.
What will the new Camaro be like?
Based on reports from GM suppliers and industry analysts, here’s the expected picture:
| Detail | Expected |
|---|---|
| Model year | 2028 |
| Production start | Fall 2027 |
| Plant | Lansing Grand River, Michigan |
| Platform | Updated Alpha rear-wheel-drive platform (shared with Cadillac CT5) |
| Body style | Two-door coupe (convertible possible later) |
| Base engine | Turbocharged four-cylinder |
| Top engine | Small-block V8 |
| Starting price | Mid-$30,000s (estimated) |
| V8 SS price | About $50,000 (estimated) |
Everything in this table is reported or estimated, not confirmed by Chevrolet.
Platform: rear-wheel drive stays
The new Camaro is expected to use an updated version of GM’s Alpha platform, the same rear-wheel-drive architecture under the Cadillac CT5. The previous Camaro also used Alpha, so the new car should drive like a proper sports coupe, with rear-wheel drive and a front-mounted engine. GM reportedly plans to build 60,000 to 70,000 of the new Lansing models per year.
2027 Chevy Camaro SS and V8 engine
The Camaro SS is expected to return with a V8. GM is investing heavily in its sixth-generation small-block V8 family, which debuts in the 2027 Silverado as a 5.7L (402 hp) and a 6.6L (481 hp). The Corvette also gets a new 6.7L V8 (LS6) rated at 535 hp for 2027.
Reports suggest the new Camaro SS could use one of these new small-blocks. The most likely candidates are the 5.7L or a version of the Corvette’s 6.7L. Either would give the new SS between about 400 and 500+ hp, enough to match or beat the Mustang GT (480 hp).
A manual transmission is a big question. The last Camaro offered a six-speed manual, and fans want it back. GM hasn’t said anything about gearboxes.
Chevy Camaro SS 2027 price
There’s no 2027 SS. For the 2028 Camaro SS, expect a price of roughly $48,000 to $52,000. That would put it close to the Ford Mustang GT and about $25,000 below a Corvette Stingray.
2027 Chevy Camaro ZL1 and Z28
There’s no 2027 ZL1 or Z28. For the next generation:
- ZL1: The ZL1 and ZL1 1LE were the fastest sixth-generation Camaros, with a 650 hp supercharged 6.2L V8. A new ZL1 is likely to arrive later, a year or two after the base car, just like before. Nothing is confirmed.
- Z28: The Z/28 name was last used on the fifth-generation car (2014–2015). Fans want it back as a track-focused model, but there are no reports that GM is planning it yet.
Will there be a 2027 Chevy Camaro 4-door?
No. A four-door Camaro sedan was rumored in 2024 and 2025, when GM was talking about an electric Camaro. Recent reports point to a traditional two-door coupe built on the Alpha platform. The four-door idea now looks unlikely for the first model year. One report suggested a four-door body style could come later in the decade, but that’s speculation.
2027 Chevy Camaro convertible
There’s no 2027 convertible. The sixth-generation Camaro offered a convertible on most trims. A convertible version of the 2028 Camaro is possible, but it would probably arrive after the coupe.
Is there a 2027 Chevy Camaro EV?
No. In 2024, GM President Mark Reuss hinted that the Camaro name could come back on an electric car, and many people expected an electric Camaro sedan or crossover. Search interest in the “2027 Camaro EV” has since dropped close to zero. The latest reports say the new Camaro will use gas engines, including a V8. An electric version isn’t ruled out for the future, but it’s not expected at launch.
2027 Chevy Camaro price
There’s no 2027 Camaro price because there’s no 2027 Camaro. Here’s what we expect for the 2028 Camaro:
- Base four-cylinder coupe: about $35,000 to $38,000
- SS V8: about $48,000 to $52,000
- ZL1 (later): about $75,000+
For comparison, the last 2024 Camaro started at around $30,000 for the base coupe and about $76,000 for the ZL1.
2027 Chevy Camaro interior
No interior has been shown or reported. The new car is expected to share electronics and interior technology with the Cadillac CT5 and other new GM models. That would mean a large touchscreen with Google built-in, a digital gauge cluster, and modern driver aids. The old Camaro’s biggest weakness was poor visibility and a cramped cabin, so expect GM to improve both.
New 2027 Chevy Camaro concept and pictures
There’s no official concept and no official photos. Any “2027 Camaro concept” pictures online are renderings made by artists and AI tools. Some show a sleek coupe, others a four-door sedan. Be careful with videos that claim to show the “new 2027 Camaro” because none of them show a real GM car yet.
2027 Chevy Camaro release date
There’s no 2027 release date. Here’s the expected timeline for the next Camaro:
- Late 2026 to mid-2027: possible teasers and official announcement
- Mid-2027: possible public reveal
- Fall 2027: production starts at Lansing Grand River (reported)
- Late 2027 to early 2028: first cars arrive at dealers as 2028 models
2027 Chevy Camaro for sale
You won’t find a new 2027 Camaro for sale. If you want a Camaro now, your options are used 2016 to 2024 models. Final-year 2024 Camaros, including the Collector’s Edition, hold their value well. A used Camaro SS with a 6.2L V8 is one of the best performance bargains on the used market.
Why did Chevy stop making the Camaro?
Sales fell sharply in the late 2010s. The Camaro was outsold by the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger for years, and GM needed the Lansing plant for other vehicles. GM announced in March 2023 that the sixth-generation Camaro would end in January 2024. The company said at the time that the Camaro story was not over, which has turned out to be true.
Camaro vs Mustang: the rivalry returns
The Mustang never left, and it’s now the only traditional American V8 pony car still sold new after the Challenger ended. The return of the Camaro would bring back one of the longest rivalries in American cars. If you want a V8 pony car right now, read our 2027 Ford Mustang guide.
Insurance: what to expect
Sports cars cost more to insure, especially V8 models driven by younger drivers. A used Camaro SS can cost $2,500 to $4,000 a year to insure, depending on your age and record. Get a rough estimate before you shop with our free car insurance calculator.
Our take
The “2027 Camaro” is really the 2028 Camaro, and it’s looking more real every month. Reports from GM suppliers point to a rear-wheel-drive coupe with a turbo four-cylinder and a V8, built in Michigan from fall 2027. Until GM makes it official, treat every detail as a strong rumor. If you’re shopping now, a used 2016–2024 Camaro or a new Mustang are the realistic options.
