All Electric Camaro on the Way?

GM Outlines All-Electric Path to Zero Emissions

DETROIT — General Motors announced today how it is executing on a major element of its vision of a world with zero crashes, zero emissions and zero congestion, recently announced by GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra.

“General Motors believes in an all-electric future,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors executive vice president of Product Development, Purchasing and Supply Chain. “Although that future won't happen overnight, GM is committed to driving increased usage and acceptance of electric vehicles through no-compromise solutions that meet our customers' needs.”

In the next 18 months, GM will introduce two new all-electric vehicles based off learnings from the Chevrolet Bolt EV. They will be the first of at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023.

Given customers' various needs, getting to a zero emissions future will require more than just battery electric technology. It will require a two-pronged approach to electrification — battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric depending on the unique requirements.

GM also introduced SURUS — the Silent Utility Rover Universal Superstructure — a fuel cell powered, four-wheel steer concept vehicle on a heavy-duty truck frame that’s driven by two electric motors. With its capability and flexible architecture, SURUS could be used as a delivery vehicle, truck or even an ambulance — all emissions free.

The article is about "all electric" vehicles and that coupe is either a Camaro or Cadillac, and it doesn't look like a Cadillac to me.

Where's that top pic from? Not from this zero emissions announcement.

So, no. An electric Camaro is not coming anytime soon.

10 - 20 years maybe.

The top pic is literally a zoomed in crop of the bottom pic.

"In the next 18 months, GM will introduce two new all-electric vehicles based off learnings from the Chevrolet Bolt EV. They will be the first of at least 20 new all-electric vehicles that will launch by 2023."

My guess is the Camaro won't be one of the two mentioned above, but could very well be one of the 20 by 2023. I think your 10-20 years is more like 8-12.

While I am sure a plug in Camaro will be coming eventually, I wouldn't be surprised if that vehicle under the covers is just for show and is just a 6th gen under there.

Definitely not a 6th gen. According to another report, many of the vehicles under the covers are clay model concepts and future vehicles. If anything, this is our first glimpse of the 7th gen.

You could be right. Definitely fits the general shape, with some differences in the lower hood area, at least according to my poor vision

I'm going with ChevyRules on this one. Current car under a cover. Maybe it isn't...who knows, but dang, based on the lines you can see, it looks exactly like a 6th gen under there.

So this should turn out to be some fun wild speculation in this thread.
