UPDATE: Watch The Be-Winged 2018 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Go Testing At The ‘Ring And Have A Big Off

The sixth-gen Camaro-based Z/28 has been spotted testing at the Green Hell, and it's packing a stupidly aggressive aero package

Given that the sixth-generation Camaro is a hell of a lot lighter than the previous version, the next Z/28 should be quite some beast. In fact, the weight reduction of the latest Camaro is drastic enough to make the current SS as fast to 60mph as the old Z/28 - four seconds dead - so expect a sub-four second time for the new car.

Engine wise, there’s no question the car seen testing at the Nurburgring is packing a V8 - we’re just not 100 per cent sure what kind of eight-banger we’re looking at. Given the lack of supercharger noise, the 7.0-litre GM LS7 used in the previous Z/28 seems likely.

Update: it seems the Z/28 test mule’s recent ‘Ring sessions haven’t quite been without incident, as you’ll see from the updated video embed above. Judging by the monster lock-up, we can only imagine the ABS was disabled for whatever reason.

hopefully the splitter and the small wing really helped the boat to turn through the corners

GM is going all in versus the GT350R. While japanese makers are killing their cars, american cars looks promising!

When you think about what Rice stands for, you realize that this winged boat is a living testament to manufacturer idiocy. #fancywordroast

Rice means stuff that looks like racecar parts but doesn’t actually do anything. This car will have actual working racecar parts to improve handling. There’s a difference.
