Friday, May 1, 2015, 4:13 PM  Slowly but surely, Chevrolet is building up to the dramatic reveal of the 2016 Camaro muscle car. We’ve seen test mules covered in swirling black and white graphics, and have been told the next Camaro will have a stiffer structure but still weigh 200 lbs. less than the current model.  We’ve even speculated about all the things we’d love to see on the next-generation version of Chevy’s muscle car.  Now, we get to see the car’s…backside.  That’s right, Chevrolet has provided a teaser of the Camaro’s posterior. Seen in the bare metal, you can spot the more angular openings for the rear tail-lamps (we’ve always felt the current ones were too bland-looking) and a lean, low-lying rear spoiler. The wide C-pillar and hazy glimpse of the rear fender appear very similar to the current Camaro, however.  “The Camaro went to the gym and came out with a lithe, more athletic physique for the sixth generation,” said Ed Welburn, vice president, GM Global Design. “It’s a more expressive evolution of the Camaro’s iconic character – and one that complements its leaner size and sharper reflexes.”  Chevrolet also released an image of the deeply creased hood, which is constructed of lightweight aluminum. If you’re a fan of the current Camaro, imagine ironing the edges of it for a leaner, sharper effect. As for the engines, well, we wouldn’t be surprised if Chevrolet had something special in store.  A V-8 more powerful than the 707-horsepower Dodge Hellcat? Yeah, that would be fun! So would a turbocharged inline-4, to take on the Ford Mustang head-on.  Stay tuned, because the Daily News Autos team will be at Detroit’s Belle Isle Park for the official unveiling of the 2016 Camaro on Sunday, May 16.
The 2016 Chevrolet Camaro is slowly giving away its tech secrets, not to mention the edges and sharper angles that make up the exterior.
