DETROIT — According to a new video called "The Camaro Essence" posted on GMnext.com, the 2010 retro muscle car's influence is being felt throughout the Chevrolet lineup.
"It has an influence on everything we're doing at Chevy," said Ed Welburn, General Motors vice president of global design, who walks viewers through a quick design tutorial of the redesigned Camaro. He emphasizes that not all future Chevrolets will look like the Camaro, but says they will retain some of its spirit.
The video gives some clues about how the Camaro made it from concept to production. Welburn said he told the design team that he wanted a car "inspired by the first-generation Camaro." The result is a vehicle that he says "has the character of the concept." Welburn says the rear quarter of the production vehicle is "one of my favorite areas — very strong, very powerful."
"My car looks so old next to this new car, and that's the way it should be," he says in summary.
