Check out the official 2019 IROC-Z Camaro – A Car Worth Waiting For.
What It Is: A rear-drive coupe and convertible that will replace at least the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro if not the whole IROC-Z lineup.
Why It Matters: A fresh update on the sports-car theme, the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro keeps portfolio stable at five models. Less weight and an expanded range of powertrains will give Pontiac a leg up in the CAFE battle.
Platform: Significantly smaller and lighter than the current 2019 IROC-Z Camaro, the 2019 IROC-Z will sport a strut front suspension and multilink rear. The '2019 IROC-Z's new platform is engineered for global markets and will also underpin Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Maserati coupes, sedans, and spiders.
Powertrain: Four-, six-, and eight-cylinder engines ranging from 2.0 liters to 6.2 liters, most with direct injection. At least one Hemi V-8 will continue, and a supercharged Hemi is a distinct possibility. The transmission choices should include conventional and dual-clutch automatics, plus a six- or seven-speed stick.
Competition: Traditional Firebird and Mustang foes, plus Hyundai Genesis Coupe, Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ.
What Might Go Wrong: New and improved Firebirds and Mustangs could leave it in the dust at the local Walmart parking lot.
Estimated Arrival and Price: Late 2018 as a 2019 model, with base prices ranging from mid-$30Ks to high-$70Ks
