Official?

 

It's not official at all.
Motor Trend render based on what they saw/heard about

 

nice to dream though....

 

Looks a heck of alot like the new Bumblebee from TF2, wonder if he is supposed to be Z28 based or something. Kinda wondered why they changed the front end on Bumblebee and where they came up w/ the design (since it's a pretty drastic difference from the real Camaro), making the changes to match the new look of the top model Camaro Z28 makes sense.

Or maybe the mockup MT saw/heard about was of Bumblebee and not a Z...

 

Someone please change the title of this thread. Got me all excited just to find out it was a motortrend picture.

 

they basically just took bumble bee and made it look more civil. i dont like it.

 

I actually like it more than Bumblebee, but I'm not in love with it.

 

i think it looks badass.

 

i dont know if its the bumper or the grill that i dont liek. but it looks awkward.

 

This looks a lot better than Bumblebee II.

My guess is this (or something very close) was supposed to be the Z28.

 

sorry about that "official" part. Though I think this is pretty accurate. The article states the drawing was done from the clay mockup.
"The image you see on these pages is very close to the final signed-off design, based on photos of a scale clay model we've seen."

 

The only thing "official" about the Z28 right now is that it ain't gonna happen...read below:

"V" Series and "SS" Series Engineering Division Disbanded

DETROIT -- General Motors, focusing on mainstream products in a battle to survive, has scrapped a unit that produced high-performance vehicles.

GM today disbanded High Performance Vehicle Operations, which is based at the company's suburban Detroit technical center, and redeployed its engineers, said spokesman Vince Muniga.

"All high-performance projects are on indefinite hold," Muniga said. "The engineers are moving into different areas of the organization, and they will work on Cadillacs, Buicks, Chevrolets and Pontiacs."

The unit created low-volume vehicles for GM's divisions designed to appeal to enthusiasts and bolster the company's image. Products included V-series Cadillacs and the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, HHR SS and a V-8 version of the Colorado.

Muniga said there are no plans for high-performance versions of upcoming cars.

The move is in the spirit of GM's viability plan delivered to the U.S. Treasury Department on Tuesday. In the plan, GM said its future-product focus is on fuel- efficient cars and crossovers. It also pledged to increase its current offering of six hybrids to 14 by 2012 and to 26 by 2014. GM also boosted its request for federal aid by as much as $16.6 billion.

The High Performance Vehicle Operations unit could be reinstated once GM regains its financial health, GM's Muniga said.

"These guys are pretty good at what they do," Muniga said, "They are moving into different areas to work on core products."

It doesn't matter that you think it's an accurate drawing, we don't even know if there will be a Z28. Point is, you're getting people excited.
