A few months ago, we showed you some official “spy shots” of the pre-production version of the new Camaro coupe.
To say the least, response to that post was overwhelmingly enthusiastic – something that was extremely gratifying to all of us here at Chevrolet, who have been hard at work testing and retesting the Camaro development models.
As a reward for your interest – and your patience – here’s a sneak peak of the convertible version of the Camaro, which is also undergoing a similar evaluation as we ready it for full production later next year. (Preproduction models shown. Actual production models may vary.)





EDIT: Blown up, sharpened, brightened:

Dang!

 

Note the headlights.

 

That was the first thing I noticed.

But I never expected it to look that good with the top up!

 

If you look REALLY close...you can see some interesting differences in the first pic compared to what you have seen so far. Subtle, but there...look VERY close since the pic is so small.

 

I'm not a convertible fan, but that is a DAMN good-looking car. It's good that they kept the coupe's profile with the top up.

I notice that the fender flares look more pronounced. Looks good.

 

Are you talking about the foglamps and the front nose below the grill?

 

note the rear antenna and the bottom grille is larger than the concept.

 

I just blew the pics up, sharpened and lightened them and added them to the first post.

 

There also appears to be an accent line in between the headlights and foglights, towards the outer part of the front bumper.

Also, it's nice to see the REAL headlights. I like the "halo" effect.

 

...and adding to that small hash lines below the front fender parking lights . The front in general looks a bit different . I typically dont like verts when the top is up , but damn does that ever look good ...top up and all

Thank you team Camaro 1,000,000 fold for nailing the headlights , if those are production ....the projector and halo from the concept was what I wanted to see

Now that you blew them up , the grill looks quite a bit bigger than weve seen ...is that just an illusion ?

 

Chrome/silver rear diffuser?! Interesting.

 

Am I the only one that wants a black convertible SS after seeing these photos?

 

There's the lip spoiler we've all been clamoring for.

The car looks phenomenal. If the interior & overall driving experience are up to the same standards then we have a real winner, even if she is a bit porky.

 

WOW Looks much better than i thought it would with the top up.
