UPDATE: Watch The Be-Winged 2018 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 Go Testing At The ‘Ring And Have A Big Off
Given that the sixth-generation Camaro is a hell of a lot lighter than the previous version, the next Z/28 should be quite some beast. In fact, the weight reduction of the latest Camaro is drastic enough to make the current SS as fast to 60mph as the old Z/28 - four seconds dead - so expect a sub-four second time for the new car.
Engine wise, there’s no question the car seen testing at the Nurburgring is packing a V8 - we’re just not 100 per cent sure what kind of eight-banger we’re looking at. Given the lack of supercharger noise, the 7.0-litre GM LS7 used in the previous Z/28 seems likely.
Update: it seems the Z/28 test mule’s recent ‘Ring sessions haven’t quite been without incident, as you’ll see from the updated video embed above. Judging by the monster lock-up, we can only imagine the ABS was disabled for whatever reason.

People are making jokes about the Z/28 not turning, remember that the 5th Gen Z/28 went around the ‘ring faster than a LFA, Lamborghini Mucielago and a GTR , an F430 Scuderia and a Bugatti Veyron (2005). So this one will be very fast.
Rear brakes locked, I’m sure the driver wasn’t expecting that
Chevrolet you should consider upgrading you handling. More power wont help
Dont listen to Jeremy Clarkson
I think the computers took a poo. It just locked up for no reason… well at least it’s in testing
ABS was turned off and the driver was too late
I couldnt see any car untill 2:30 into the video, then all i saw was a car cover….
That’s what you expect from a real muscle car
Mustang fans and me belike
looks like he tru it in the wrong gear and lock the rear tires
I have a chellange. Find an article on Car Throttle not containing the word ‘stupidly’
That’s the fault of the driver not the car. You don’t slam on the brakes when exiting a corner to a fairly straight section of road.
