A 2016 Camaro prototype was caught stuck in some construction traffic, giving our photographers are great opportunity to get the best close-ups yet.

Very nice! Looks like a V6 model. For some reason I see BMW 6 series in the rear from these angles. The diffuser looks just right.

20" rims..probably not a v6. The tires are much lower profile on 20's this model, which is a very good thing.

245/40/20? Disappointed that it's 20s again.

Every V6 RS has 20 inch rims. (2010-2015).

Look at the calipers. They're extremely small. This is not the V8.

I dont get why people dissect the visual stuff. Like the lights. The wheels. etc. Those will all be different from the actual car, I can guarantee.

Great photos, thanks for posting them.

No nostrils on the hood and 2 piston front calipers it looks. Why I am thinking V6. Course wheels and brakes might not be what is going to be offered at all.

...looks like they made sort of an effort to grind off the larger markings on the tire sidewalls, but you can mostly read the fine print by the bead.

Yeah looks like a V6 model just by looking at the brakes. Nice dual tips though, Huge muffler. I wonder if the V8 will have a similar muffler? Great pics!

Looks like the ATS-V muffler. Think someone said that was done for aero.

Many newer cars use a large muffler that is flat on the bottom to help with smoothing the airflow under the car lowering drag. That was one reason for the large suitcase like mufflers on the 5th gen.
The Dual outlets may also suggest the dual mode exhaust will still be available on the V6.

I'm surprised they went with 20" wheels again.

Maybe now that we know for sure, someone can measure the wheel base and length.

They might go with 20s again. We don't know yet.

Oh, they have an official announcement somewhere where they say they're going to use 20s on the official release?

:noidea:

I don't see why they won't use 20s again. I'm 99% sure they will.

All I'm saying is, we don't 100% know for sure. Its just a mule.
