The next-gen Camaro is set to stick with good old gasoline V8, not batteries. Sure, it might sprout a couple of extra doors, but the heart and soul that made the Camaro a legend are sticking around.Ever since Chevy pulled the plug on the Camaro after 2024, the rumor mill has been working overtime. Early whispers pointed to a comeback on GM's Alpha platform – the same bones as the Cadillac CT5 – which was a pretty big clue that Chevy wasn't itching to turn the Camaro into an electric muscle car.AdvertisementAdvertisementNow, GM Authority adds another log to the mill. Their sources say a high-performance Camaro is already in the works behind closed doors. One insider even called it "spicy," and another promised fans will be "very happy" with what's coming.ChevroletA Supercharged V8 Could Be On The MenuChevy's keeping the powertrain cards close to its chest, but all eyes are on what beast might end up under the hood of this rumored flagship.By GM Authority's estimate, Chevy might drop in its new naturally aspirated 6.7-liter LS6 V8 – the same monster that just showed up in the 2027 Corvette Stingray, pumping out 535 horsepower and 520 pound-feet of torque. It's the latest twist in GM's legendary pushrod Small Block saga.Those numbers alone would make for a seriously mean Camaro, but things get wild if Chevy bolts on a supercharger. The publication thinks that it could send output soaring past 700 hp - more powerful than the last Camaro ZL1.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat kind of firepower would throw the Camaro right back into the modern muscle car arms race, and give it some breathing room from the Corvette. Since the C8 Corvette isn't expected to get a supercharged LS6, Chevy could finally give the Camaro its own wild identity – no sibling rivalry required.ChevroletWhy A Four-Door Camaro Makes SenseBut here's the real curveball: it's not the engine that's got people – it's the idea of a four-door Camaro. Sure, purists will always want a classic coupe, but the market has other ideas. Two-door performance cars just don't sell like they used to, and buyers keep flocking to anything with extra practicality.A four-door Camaro could help GM spread out the costs and lure in buyers who need a little more space in their muscle. It's not like this is uncharted territory – just look at the BMW M3, proof that you can have your practicality and your tire smoke too.This move could let Chevy play both sides: a sedan for the masses, and a classic two-door for the diehards. If the reports are right, Camaro production kicks off at GM's Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan in fall 2027. Until then, expect the rumor mill to keep churning. The next Camaro might show up with more doors than ever – and a whole lot more horsepower to match.ChevroletThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Jun 15, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
