Ford Mustang Rival Chevy Camaro To End Production In 2023
While the Ford Mustang is alive and doing quite well, its chief rival — the Chevy Camaro — has faced declining sales for years, which has spawned rumors of its eventual demise. Now, GM Authority is reporting that the Camaro is indeed on its last leg, as General Motors plans on discontinuing the long-running model following the 2024 model year.
The Chevy Camaro will also reportedly go out with a “farewell package,” which doesn’t currently have an official name. Offered across a number of trim levels likely including the LT, LT1, SS, and ZL1, this special offering will essentially represent an appearance package, with nothing more than interior and exterior enhancements and no suspension or performance upgrades.
GM Authority notes that GM pulled its development resources from the Camaro a couple of years ago, and thus, it likely won’t get getting any sort of rumored upgrades such as the Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing‘s supercharged 6.2L V8 LT4, which produces 668 horsepower and 659 pound-feet of torque, or GM’s Magnetic Ride Control suspension. Increasing emissions requirements aren’t working in its favor, either.
