 Let's start at the beginning and go to the place where Concept Camaro was born and the production Camaro is being finalized.
Here, at the Design Center at the General Motors Technical Center in Warren, Michigan, we sat down with Global Rear-Wheel Drive and Performance Car Design Director Tom Peters and his design team.
Among his many responsibilities, Tom heads up the Corvette and Camaro design teams. Working with Tom are Sangyup Lee, Camaro design manager and Concept Camaro designers Steve Kim and Vlad Kapitonov.
These sketches of the Concept Camaro, some of them never before seen outside of the Design Center, reflect the direction Tom Peters gave his team: "Come up with the meanest street-fighting dog you can sketch." Says Vlad Kapitonov, "The car is not a trip back in time. It will have to survive as a beautiful, exciting car on its own merits. If you've never seen a Camaro before, if you have no history with this car, you'll still want it. You'll want to get in and drive it."
Of course, these are just sketches. The actual production version will vary.
