Lambrolet Camardo: Yep, Someone Actually Tried to Turn a Camaro into a Gallardo...


This here replica of a Lamborghini Gallardo based on a 1994 Chevrolet Camaro is soooo wrong in soooo many different ways and levels it would probably take a 50-page supplement to explore them all... However, we must admit that the eBay seller's description gave us a hearty good laugh so we'll refrain from making any disparaging comments. Hit the break for the full image gallery.

Gone in 180 Seconds: Neiman Marcus Camaro Convertible Sells Out in Record Time


As absurd as it may seem to spend $75,000 for what is essentially a luxed-up edition of the forthcoming mass production 2011 Camaro Convertible, it took only three minutes earlier today for 100 people to put their name down for the Neiman Marcus special edition cabrio. The new owners claimed their 2011 Camaro SS ragtops through a special telephone reservation process, a few hours after the car made an appearance on NBC's Today Show.

Bumblebee Camaro Crashes into Real Cop Car During Filming of Transformers 3


BUMBLEBEE is racing down a side street to catch up with the other AUTOBOTS, who have found another piece of the ALLSPARK. Suddenly, a DECEPTICON POLICE SUV appears and cuts BUMBLBEE off!

Well, not really, but it sure looks like that in this video. According to The Washington Post, the story goes that a Metropolitan Police SUV was on its way to investigate a suspicious package in the D.C. area when it strayed onto the Transformers 3 set.

2011 Camaro Accessorized with Phantom Hidden Headlight Grille Set


There seems to be no end to the variety of styling accessories for GM's reborn Chevrolet Camaro muscle car. This here styling set from "DJ Grilles" is called the "Phantom Hidden Headlight Grille" and it comprises a very Lincoln-like upper grille with the option of fixed or removable headlamp bezels and a matching piece for the lower air vent. Check out the pics and videos of the Camaro fitted with the aftermarket grilles after the jump, and tell us what you think about it in the comments section.

2012 Chevrolet Camaro Caught Wearing LED Tails and Fatty-Bo-Batty Side Mirrors


We've already shown you video of the 2012 Camaro Z/28 doing its thing on the Nürburgring, and now there are more spy pictures of the facelifted model it could be based on. Other than the appropriately modern-looking LED taillights [voice your thoughts below], the updated version of Chevy's own pony car is believed to also benefit significantly from a yet unseen refreshed interior.

Besides the rear lights and diffuser-mounted reflectors, the major update is a pair of the most obtuse, minivan-ish side mirrors ever (EVER). Hopefully those are just for testing / Euro market purposes, but that's probably not the case.

Other improvements for the 2012 model year should include engine/suspension tweaks as well as more special editions (this competes with the Mustang, after all).

First Publicly Available 2011 Camaro Convertible Fetches $205,000


The promise of being the owner of the first available production version of the yet-to-be-released 2011 Chevrolet Camaro Convertible was more than enough to make an unnamed collector drop $205,000 for the car at last weekend's Barrett-Jackson Auction. But at least the sale was for a good cause as 100 per cent of proceeds from the winning bid will go to the YMCA of Southern Nevada.

2012 Camaro Z28 with Massive Hood Bulge Spied in California


A pair of lightly camouflaged Camaros believed to be prototype versions of the much-delayed super-duper Z28 model were spied among a convoy of pony cars on the streets of Coronado in California by a forum member. Albeit most of the front end of the test cars was covered to keep prying eyes from seeing the details, it's easy to make out the large hood bulge, under which, you should find GM's 6.2-liter supercharged V8 that produces 556HP in the Cadillac CTS-V.

FAIL: Rental 2010 Camaro SS in Dukes of Hazzard Style Antics Results in Crash [with Video]


And yes, we have another accident involving a rental sports car. Today's crash concerns a 2010 Camaro SS (not that it matters, but that's the one with the 426-HP 6.2-liter V8 powerhouse) engaging in some railroad track hoonery with the usual outcome.

Here's the description from the person who uploaded the video on Youtube: "Guy rents 2010 Camaro SS, jumps railroad tracks in Houston TX going roughly 90 miles an hour." See what happens next in the video after the jump - just be prepared for some annoyingly random and topsy-turvy footage.

Classic Design Concepts' Pontiac-esque FireBreather Available for Order


While Classic Design Concepts (CDC) deliberately avoids the use of the word 'Pontiac', the first thought that comes to mind upon seeing the FireBreather is a modern iteration of General Motor's Firebird Trans-Am pony car.

The 2011 Camaro-based special was originally created as a one-off movie car for Exxodus Pictures' new sci-fi flick, Jinn, but the company decided to build a limited series for sale. And now, the order book has opened with the maker planning to manufacturer a total of 50 exact replicas of the FireBreather, priced at $60,000 a piece.

VIDEO: 2011 Camaro-Based Pontiac Firebreather Meets the Shelby GT500


The folks from 'The Smoking Tire' decided to bid farewell to the 2011 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Convertible they had for this year's Bullrun by bringing on Classic Design Concepts' Pontiac Firebreather for a brief tet-a-tet.

For those unfamiliar with the Firebreather, the Pontiac Firebird-ized 2011 Camaro was originally created by Classic Design Concepts as a one off movie car for Exxodus Pictures' new sci-fi film, Jinn, but the company took the decision to build a limited series for sale to the public.

Tons of Videos from Transformers 3 Shooting in Chicago, Including Scenes with Camaro, Ferrari 458 and Corvette Stingray Roadster


Michael Bay and his crew have been taking over the streets of downtown Chicago in July filming numerous scenes for the Transformers 3 movie, which is due for release in summer of 2011. With all the commotion from the shooting, it was inevitable that hundreds of people would gather around and capture a bunch of videos from the set.

Some of the Transformer cars that were snagged on film in Chicago include the Bumblebee Camaro, Ferrari 458 Italia, Mercedes-Benz E-Class (most likely the E63 AMG), several NASCAR racers and the topless version of the Corvette Stingray Concept. We've pasted the most interesting video clips we found on Youtube right after the jump.

SPIED: 2012 Chevy Camaro Z28 with 6.2-liter Supercharged V8


Spy photographers have snagged a lightly camouflaged Camaro that is believed to be the long-rumored Z28 model packing the same 6.2-liter supercharged V8 engine found in the Corvette ZR1 and Cadillac CTS-V models. And how do we know this, you may ask? Well, GM's engineers were kind enough to leave a sticker on the prototype's dashboard that read "2012 Chevrolet Camaro, 6.2L SC V8, 6AT". Head over to the Camaro5 forums for the full set of spy pictures from Brenda Priddy and gang.

Darth Vader's Car for Sale on eBay - No, Really


It sure doesn't look like "the force is strong with this one" nowadays, but at some point, the 1983 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 pictured above was owned by none other than David Prowse, the man behind the mask and under the suit of Darth Vader in the original Star Wars trilogy. We know Darth Vader might find our lack of faith disturbing, but we always imagined his ride somewhat more sinister... If by any chance you're interested, the car is up for grabs on eBay UK with a starting bid of £650.
