How do you know that was a GM design and not someone's photoshop fantasy?

This car, it seems to me, heralds the return of the GTO: the car is orange, just like a tiger ("put a tiger in your tank" from the old Esso ads was also associated with the GTO, today you might see stuffed tigers on GTOs at shows). Also the gray horizontal lines on the front and fenders suggest the tiger's whiskers. This motif is repeated on the back, for symmetry. The split grille is a Poncho hallmark, and the narrowing edges suggest a mean countenance for the car. The rear lights suggest the 1966 GTO rear end treatment. All of those things link the past to the present for the concept car. But, in general shape and plan, this car does more than suggest ancestry of the Gen 5 Camaro: it screams it.
