Found these 5th Gen Camaro pics and info

Don't know how credible it is...

I uploaded them to my webspace because they disappeared from the original url.

Website said something about an independent wishbone suspension and meeting new NTSB regulations.

It also mentioned a 2004 launch date.

Maybe it was an old site.

Nice looking concepts though.

If they are real the orange front end wouldn't make it to production. The style is kind of retro/modern looking.

This guy also did a great Chevelle concept and a couple other Camaro concepts as well.

Those pictures aren't true cars...they are concept. The guy who designed them took them down because a magzine was interested in him. I would take them off your server if I were you...since you may cost the author alot of money from the magazine.

OMG!! Those look sweet!!

I don't much care for the hood scope (or whatever you call that rise) on the red one, but they look sweet!!

By far the best design for the 5th gens I have seen.

I give credit to the computer program for making a very realistic looking picture, but the design really doesn't do much for me at all... even if I take the retro part of it away, it looks .... well... odd.

Its a 3D computer model. The rearend angle is more impressive imo. I've also never seen an orange version before.

However, 100% computer generated.

before he pulled the pics off his site i downloaded all of his designs...

being an industrial design student i can say the renderings are not that impressive from a technical standpoint but a lot better than the drawings most people make....

as for design some of his other variations were in my opinion much better....and like jg95z28 said the rearend design is very impressive.....i just dont like the look of the grill in any of them...


just my 2 cents

Can you peeps with all the pics send them to smithcm@charter.net in an email attachment? I got the two posted here, but don't have the others.

Doubtful...

Look at the Aztec redesign.

I would buy the orange one in a heart beat if it had a 350+hp motor.
