There is no real reason for Cad to run a non-Corporate engine again. There are spy shots which make the new CTS-V appear to have dual intercoolers up front. This might mean ditching the fixed displacement blower with two turbos. I use LSx (Not to be confused with LSX, which is in fact a LSx variant) to describe the 16V OHV symmetrical port V8's with SBC bore spacing. There are many variants, but are all physically the same dimensions.

This can be a confusing line, however I don't think it is the 4.6L northstar V-8 engine as that engine is long dead. Though this comment can mean that they took the 3.6L TT V-6 and added two more cylinders to it. Though that would make a 4.8L V-8 engine and who wants a 60 degree V-8 (though it would be narrower then a 90 degree engine). It could mean a 4.5L DOHC all aluminum directly injected twin turbocharged V-6 engine. Or when they talk about tech they could mean twin turbocharged engines and that its a 4.5L Gen V engine with two turbochargers connected to it (maybe GM will differentiate Cadillac V-8s from chevy version via turbo vs supercharged). |

Front end is hideous and grill is Pontiac-esqe.
What's this have to do with the engine lineup? Last edited by libertyforall; 06-28-2014 at 08:20 AM. |

I know everyone has their own opinion, but if that became the 6th gen, I wouldn't care if it had the most amazing interior, and ran the quarter mile in 10 seconds....I'd keep my 5th gen.

While I agree I do not like that design and it will not be the 6th generation. If it ran 10 second quarter mile stock I would so take it. Imagine what it could do with a little modification! |

So any commentary on the article that suggests the next a Camaro will grow in size with the next generation?
Reports suggest the next-generation Chevrolet Camaro won't look too different from the current model, but there may be big changes in store beneath the sheetmetal. The 2016 Camaro will grow in size, but also gain an optional four-cylinder engine, according to a new report from Automobile Magazine. The magazine reports that the Camaro will switch to General Motors Alpha platform as expected, but that it will be based on the long-wheelbase version used by the Cadillac CTS, not the short-wheelbase version used by the ATS. At 114.6 inches, that would leave the 2016 Camaro with a wheelbase 2.3 inches longer than the current car's and 7.5 inches longer than the 2015 Ford Mustang's, but slightly shorter than the current Dodge Challenger's wheelbase. The growth may be planned to allow room for a smaller sports car that could compete with the Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S twins and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. This entry-level model could be based on either the rear-wheel-drive Code 130R or front-wheel-drive Tru 140S concepts from 2012. In the powertrain department, the 2016 Camaro may also get a four-cylinder engine option, likely a version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged unit that produces 272 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque in the Cadillac ATS and CTS. Of course, V-6 and V-8 units should continue to be available. The obvious bogey here is the 2015 Mustang EcoBoost, although Chevy may need to tweak its engine a bit to match Ford's 2.3-liter, which is promised to deliver more than 305 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque. The new Camaro is expected to make its first public appearance in early 2015, and go on sale later that year. http://www.motorauthority.com/news/1...r-power-report |

[QUOTE=FenwickHockey65;7764091]As always, subject to change and complete speculation until GM confirms.
From GMI: 2.0L Turbocharged I-4 = 305 HP 3.6L LGX V6 = 400hp turbo charged 6.2L LT1 V8 = 450 hp 6.2L Supercharged LT4 V8 = 600+ hp |
