With the latest reports on the future of the Camaro talking about the current generation set to be upgraded all the way to 2026, GM needs a strong plan if if wants to rescue its muscle badge from its current sales dive. So, how about a wagon like the one portrayed in this rendering? 1 photo
The pixel portrait we have here takes the meanest Camaro you can buy, namely the ZL1 with the 1LE package (you know, the Nürburgring tamer) and turns it into a family hauler.
And while
CarLifestyle, the Instagram label behind the quick work, used the Audi RS6 Avant to make its point, there might be more to these pixels. For one, the German automaker believes there s a place for a performance wagon on the U.S. market; keep in mind that the 2020 RS6 marked the American return of the nameplate, as well as the first time when the wagon arrived in the US.

One challenge about making cutting-edge cars is that the regulations that constrain them and the technology to build them struggle to keep up with our imaginations. But that’s not a problem when you’re creating vehicles intended to exist entirely within a computer game, even an incredibly realistic one such as Gran Turismo 5.
Red Bull Racing’s resident design genius, Adrian Newey, was given the freedom to create his ultimate car for the game, and the result was the X2010. In effect an F1-style car designed without any concessions to a rulebook, the single-seater draws power from a 1479bhp twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6, making it capable of 0-60mph in 1.4sec and a top speed of 280mph. A Brabham BT46-style rear fan helps to produce extra downforce, and with a weight of just 545kg and extensive aerodynamics, cornering forces exceed 8g.

For the past nine months, since a real-world viral pandemic swept the planet and forced the shutdown of civilisation as we know it, we ve been reading about how this or that motion picture is the movie we need right now.

For those old enough to remember the 1980s, it s like going home for Christmas and discovering a box full of childhood toys in your parents attic.
