When the sixth-gen Camaro finally hit the road, every auto journalist in the world fell in love. The new car was tighter, lighter, and more powerful; the perfect recipe for fun and performance. So now that we know the new Camaro is much better than the old one, everyone has turned their attention to what Chevy is going to do next. The ZL1, Z/28 and even the 1LE trim level of the SS took the old car and make it faster, sharper to drive, and generally more awesome. So what about the new versions of those models that are bound to be arriving soon? What about something like a gen-six ZL1 Convertible?Well we don"t have anything official, but thanks to the folks at TopSpeed.com we have some renders, and we can certainly make some very well educated guesses to add to those renders as well. Under the hood expect to find the LT4 motor that is in the Z06 Corvette and CTS-V, following the same engine hierarchy found in the last-generation models of all three cars. Power should be in the 630-650 range, with torque coming in relatively equal measure.The actual look of the thing will be nearly identical to the normal Camaro convertible, but with a bit more angry and aggressive added to bumpers. Expect more hood venting and a new rear spoiler to join the party, as well as a new wheel design and even bigger exhaust outlets. All-in-all, it should look pretty amazing.The old car rang in at a price of just under $62k, and TopSpeed figures the new car will cost just a touch more with a starting MSRP of $66,000. Not a lot of cash for a car that could likely be classified as a rocket by NASA.Via TopSpeed (function() { var po = document.createElement("script"); po.type = "text/javascript"; po.async = true; po.src = "https://apis.google.com/js/platform.js"; var s = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s); })(); !function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?"http":"https";if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document, "script", "twitter-wjs");
