The sixth-generation Chevy Camaro was officially discontinued after the 2024 model year, but the spirit of the nameplate continues to ride in NASCAR as part of Chevrolet’s broader racing efforts. Now, Chevy is expected to unveil its new NASCAR body style on Friday, November 14th, 2025, adding fuel to the fire that we may finally get a glimpse of a potential next-generation Camaro.
The latest speculation stems from comments made by Hendrick Motorsports owner Rick Hendrick, who hinted on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio that Chevrolet will “make the official announcement Friday,” adding, “I better not lean into that… I’m excited about it.”
NASCAR’s rules currently require that entries have some kind of visual identity that is tied to a production vehicle, which puts a limit on the vehicles that are eligible for competition. As GM Authority reported previously, GM is currently developing at least two new passenger cars for the U.S. market, a move that could bring new four-doors to The General’s portfolio, but without any specific production model to point to at this point, the Chevy Camaro looks to be the only viable candidate.
Even so, the development timeline seems to suggest a few refined body updates, rather than a clean-sheet design, despite Hendrick’s enthusiasm. There are other issues here as well. If GM were moving to unveil a next-gen Chevy Camaro design in conjunction with the NASCAR racer, The General hasn’t done much to build hype. Typically, this sort of thing includes at least a teaser or two.
Next-Gen Chevy Camaro: What We Know So Far
That all said, while no production Chevy Camaro has been confirmed, GM Authority has uncovered more than a few tidbits to spark hope among enthusiasts. For example, GM has filed several Camaro-related trademarks in recent months, and, as previously reported in a GM Authority exclusive, member of the GM brass have reviewed a next-gen Camaro proposal, with the second-gen Alpha platform serving as the underlying platform. That plan was ultimately rejected as a poor business case, but not fully abandoned, according to our sources.
GM President Mark Reuss has also publicly outlined the criteria he believes a next-generation Chevy Camaro should fulfill, while internal design concepts have surfaced that hint at what a future Camaro might look like.
While these breadcrumbs keep the Camaro’s long-term prospects alive, none seem to confirm that tomorrow’s NASCAR body unveil will indeed show the next chapter of GM’s iconic pony car. We’ll just have to wait and see, so keep it locked to GM Authority for more as it happens.
