The Chevrolet Camaro Track concept that bowed this week at the 2017 Geneva auto show may offer an unexpected glimpse into General Motors' future in Europe.

About a year ago, we thought we spied Chevrolet putting a new Camaro Z/28 through the testing ringer. After all, a heavily camouflaged car was spotted turning laps at the Nürburgring. This Camaro could be seen hiding massive front dive planes, a fixed rear wing, a huge set of tires, and a number of other high-performance bits. What wasn't spotted, however, was a badge—because it would have revealed the tester as the new Camaro ZL1 1LE (shown below). Thankfully though—assuming Car and Driver is right—there's still a Z/28 coming, and it should pop up relatively soon. It...

2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 first drive review: too fast to be fun
What's the right amount of horsepower? After driving hundreds of different cars in my career, I'm very confident the answer isn't “As much as humanly possible,” otherwise we'd all be driving around in Top Fuel dragsters, and that'd be a real nightmare during rush hour. And we'd be deaf...

2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1's top speed confirmed at 198 mph
Back in the halcyon days of 2011, Ford revealed the wildly fast—but exceptionally primitive—2013 Mustang Shelby GT500 could crest the magical 200-mile-per-hour mark thanks to its 662-horsepower supercharged 5.8-liter V-8. More recently, Dodge revealed its Charger SRT Hellcat will do the...

Any car enthusiast knows the story of “Rendezvous,” the video of a highly illegal drive through the streets of Paris, supposedly, in a Ferrari 275 GTB. The video was created by filmmaker Claude Lelouch in August of 1976, and years later we learned that the car he used was actually a Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. Ford recently teamed up with Lelouch to recreate the famous scene, using a Mustang GT. But as a twist, the video was filmed with a 360-degree camera, allowing us to take in all the sights of modern Paris in the wee hours. That’s not the only twist, though. This time a...

Chevrolet has given us our first look at its new GT4-spec race car based on the sixth-generation Camaro. The turnkey racer is called the Camaro GT4.R and is most closely related to the Camaro ZL1 road car.
