General Motors has completed production of the Chevrolet Camaro, with the final sixth-generation unit rolling off the line this week, according to Road & Track, which cited the company’s press service. The milestone marks the closure of an era for a model that began its sixth generation amid fanfare and a long-standing demand from enthusiasts and casual buyers alike.
GM framed the Camaro as a sports coupe that built a global following and drew multiple generations to Chevrolet showrooms. The sixth generation, in particular, was noted for its blend of athletic performance and poised on-road manners, projecting confidence on street drives and asserting presence on race tracks. This sentiment echoed the message the automaker shared with the editor of Road & Track, highlighting the model’s heritage and its role in Chevrolet’s performance heritage.
Road & Track reported that Camaro production has concluded, though GM has not disclosed specifics about the last assembled car nor issued a formal press release regarding the end of production. The final unit remains unshown in public details as of the latest communications.
Chevrolet confirmed that the Camaro will be discontinued, and no successor for the sixth-generation design has been announced as of March 2023. While expectations had suggested a potential transition in early 2024, no official plan has been presented to replace the model in Chevrolet’s lineup. The end of Camaro production aligns with broader shifts in the market, including the rise of SUVs and crossovers, which have altered the traditional sports coupe segment.
In a related move, Audi previously introduced a Farewell edition of the R8 for the Japanese market, signaling how high-performance two-seaters are periodically phased to mark the end of an era for prominent models. This backdrop helps illustrate how automakers manage legacy and brand resonance even as they pivot toward evolving mobility strategies. [Citation: Road & Track]
