GM had their EV Day today and with the press material there is a video teasing the outline of a few potential vehicles.

This outline is interesting because its now the second time they have teased a coupe. I think it is too angular to be Cadillac and has much more of a Camaro look to it.

It was first seen when GM announced their 20 EVs by 2023 plans back in 2017.

Camaro IROC-E

That would make sense since they supposedly cancelled development of the seventh gen on the alpha ii platform

It’ll be a “Camaro inspired” competitor to the Mach-E called the camEro

This makes more sense. The Camaro is supposed to go away, so perfect time to replace it with an electric Camaro Cross.

so if they release a Camaro concept now, we should expect to actually be able to by one by what, 2030?

None of the 13 vehicles GM showed during the even were a coupe. Those are expected by 2023 so if they do this car maybe a year or two later - by 2025?

Al Oppenheiser, the chief engineer for the last two Camaro generations is still creeping around the Camaro forums. He was last reassigned to the EV products a few years back. Maybe this is a sign - especially if he still considers himself the “Camaro Chief”.

All of your questions will be answered on May 20, including what I’ve been doing for the last year in EV-land. Until then, did you expect any less performance on the Hummer EV from your Camaro Chief?

Honestly, it just seems like hype to me. They’ll imply that anything could be coming on the new EV platform, if it helps justify the leap, and keeps the investors interested. GM tends to promise a lot of things...
