General Motors's 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Will Be Nothing Like Its Predecessors

General Motors has announced that its 2016 Chevrolet Camaro will be nothing like its predecessors, as is has been completely redesigned.

The company highlighted that only two parts will carry over from the fifth-generation model, which includes the SS badge and bowtie emblem on the taillamp panel.

The Detroit based automaker highlighted that the sixth generation Camaro is based on GM's Alpha architecture.

Alpha is designed to provide good driving dynamics, refinement and balance of mass and stiffness to the vehicle.

GM Global Product Development executive vice president Mark Reuss said: "Alpha provided a strong foundation, but more than 70 percent of the components are unique to the Gen 6 Camaro, including exterior and interior dimensions, an all-new interior, front and rear suspension, and powertrain components.

"The minute you see - and hear - the Gen 6, you know it's a Camaro, from the stance to the driving experience to the sound of the Small Block V-8."

GM highlighted that 20% of the car's 6.2L LT1 V-8 engine has been tailored to fit the Camaro's packaging, including new, tubular "tri-Y"-style exhaust manifolds.
