New Camaro? Production Begins Fall 2027

The Chevrolet Camaro is reportedly making a comeback. According to a new report, General Motors will build the new sports car on the same platform that will underpin the next-generation Cadillac CT5.  

Automotive News reports that “a source at a major GM supplier” told the publication that production for the Camaro and the CT5 will begin in fall 2027. The source also said the automaker will also allegedly build a new Buick sedan on the same architecture, a body style that the brand has not offered since 2020, which corroborates an earlier report.  

There have been multiple rumors suggesting that GM is considering building several sedan variants on its next-generation CT5 platform, but the specifics have remained unclear. AN’s source said the automaker plans to produce 60,000 to 70,000 CT5 and Camaro vehicles.

The automaker currently builds the Cadillac, alongside the CT4, at its Grand River Assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan. Production for the smaller offering ends in June, and it’s doubtful the factory can operate producing just one vehicle.  

The sixth-generation Camaro died in 2023, with GM offering no direct replacement. In 2025, a report surfaced alleging that the automaker had dismissed a proposal to revive a seventh-generation model due to its weak business case.  

It appears the automaker has a solid proposal for a new Camaro. It will likely share a lot of hardware with the new CT5, just like before. We hope to learn more soon about what could be a 2028 Camaro.  

Motor1’s Take: The possibility of the Camaro’s return is exciting, and we hope it is true. Sports cars don’t sell well, but if GM can spread the costs across several models, like a sedan from Cadillac and maybe Buick, it makes a seventh-generation Camaro possible. Nice.
