While most of the talk in vehicles right now is about electric vehicles and chip shortages, there is a pony car loudly revving its engine in the backround. Chevrolet quietly announced that it is making a 2022 COPO Camaro available with a huge Big Block V-8. The 2022 Chevrolet COPO Camaro can be factory-outfitted with a 572-cubic-inch Big Block V-8 and it carries with it the magic and mystique of the original 1969 COPO Camaro.

Chevrolet recently announced a new version of the COPO Camaro for 2022. It’s a factory-built drag racer inspired by dealers in the late ‘60s using Chevy’s Central Office Production Order (COPO) system, where the vehicles get their name, to put giant engines in relatively small cars. This year’s offering is special because it’s powered by not only a brand-new Big Block V8, but the largest V8 engine currently offered by any American automaker, as reported by The Drive.
Need a 9.4-Liter V8? Chevrolet Has You Covered
With reports coming out everywhere that American muscle cars will be revised into electrified sedans or crossover vehicles, you might find yourself in the market for the biggest V8 you can find before they’re made intentionally scarce. But perhaps you’re keen to enter the drag-racing scene and find the Dodge Demon’s supercharged 6.2-liter insufficient for what could be the last gasp of petroleum-powered insanity.
Chevrolet believes it has you covered with the 2022 COPO Camaro, which can be ordered with an enormous 572-cubic-inch (9.4-liter) motor or a couple of LS-based, small-block alternatives.Â
