WHY IS CHEVY TESTING AN 80S CAMARO WITH ITS NEXT-GENERATION MODEL?

Chevy Camaro
 
By Brandon Turkus, Autoblog.com - It's not unusual to see a new car, camo-covered and mysterious, testing alongside the current-generation model.  In fact, it's pretty common.  Seeing a brand-new car testing alongside its predecessor from 30 years prior, though, is downright unusual.

But, for reasons we can't even begin to comprehend, Chevrolet is doing just that, testing the next-generation Camaro alongside a pristine third-gen model (really, it's a damn clean example of the breed).  It's tough to tell what's going on with this manufacturer-plated F-body, but according to our spies, one of the two examples allegedly had an intercooler and a distinctly V6 engine note.  Your guess is as good as ours, here.

The camouflaged 2016 Camaro, meanwhile, is almost equally mysterious.  While a first guess might point to a prototype Camaro Convertible, our spies poiint to the unbroken A-pillar, which feeds into the roof.  Instead, the leading theory (reinforced by some not so subtle yearning on our part) is that this car features a prototype T-top roof, or full removable panel.
