Chevrolet may be gearing up to launch a new Camaro in 2026. When sixth-gen production wrapped in 2024, GM reassured fans it wasn’t the end for the Camaro, just an intermission. Recent moves and updates to manufacturing plans point to a comeback, with indications that the sedan may return in a new generation.

The strongest clue is the Alpha 2-2 platform underpinning the next Cadillac CT5. It’s a direct descendant of the Alpha architecture that carried the sixth-generation Camaro, and Lansing Grand River remains GM’s only North American plant set up to build vehicles on it. Leveraging that platform for the Camaro would trim production costs and make fuller use of the plant’s capacity—exactly the sort of commonality that helps a performance model earn its keep.

GM also signals its commitment to the nameplate by unveiling an updated Camaro ZL1 for the 2026 NASCAR Cup Series, fueling hopes for a return to series production. Questions linger, though. Even with a capable platform and technical base, Chevrolet risks missing the mark if market demand for sporty coupes keeps sliding. The company hasn’t made a final call on launching a new Camaro, but the steady drip of hints and factory preparations makes a comeback look increasingly plausible.
