The Chevrolet Camaro left the market (again) after the 2024 model year, leaving many to wonder if we’ll see another one, and what kind of propulsion system it would have if we did. GM’s President, Mark Reuss, recently shared some of the automaker’s thoughts with The Detroit News , saying that any revival of the car would have to be done just right.
“I think that formula of beauty – and a little bit of functionality and fun – all of that is important. If we were getting back into Camaro, that piece of it is really important,” he said. Rumors had pointed to an electrified Camaro, and while he didn’t confirm it, Reuss did note that Ford sells more Mustang Mach-Es than traditional Mustangs.
Reuss has a great deal of nostalgia for the Camaro, saying his first car was a 1967 model that he purchased with his father for $1,300. “It was high school, I was 16, and it brought so much joy to me. Not because I was racing the car, but because it was a really pretty car.”
An electrified or electric Camaro likely wouldn’t land with the most anticipation from enthusiasts, but it could be a way for GM to continue offering gas variants of the car. Stellantis quickly figured out that buyers really wanted a gas-powered Challenger after moving it to an EV-only format, so GM may have to take a similar approach.
