Even before the Camaro went out of production in late 2023, rumours of its eventual resurrection circulated, though it now appears its time as a two-door sports car is over.

As reported by [*MotorTrend*](https://www.motortrend.com/news/2027-chevrolet-camaro-ev-future-cars?ref=torquecafe.com), the Camaro will continue to be a rival to the Mustang, though instead of the two-door model, it’ll be the electric Mach-E SUV in Chevrolet’s sights.

When the Mustang Mach-E was launched as an electric SUV, fans of the traditional two-door Mustang criticised Ford for using its ‘sacred’ badge on something electric, four-door and high-riding.

However, in the US at least, the sales split is relatively close between the two. According to [*Good Car, Bad Car*](https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2024-u-s-auto-sales-figures-by-model-all-vehicle-ranked/?ref=torquecafe.com), Ford sold 19,309 ‘traditional’ Mustangs last year, compared to 19,258 Mustang Mach-Es.

Positioned as a ‘fastback SUV’, the new Camaro won’t have the same kind of squared-off rear design as the existing Blazer and Equinox EVs, rather a sleeker look reminiscent of - but not completely like - the Camaro two-door.

According to the publication, it could share some of its underpinnings and technology with the Blazer EV, such as an 85kWh battery pack in lower-end examples, while longer-range Camaros could be fed by a 102kWh pack.

The Blazer EV is available with a dual-motor powertrain in its flagship SS guise, producing up to 415kW and 879Nm - about on par with the final examples of the Camaro SS (339kW/617Nm) and ZL1 (485kW/881Nm).

An even more powerful flagship could be on the cards, potentially borrowing the tri-motor powertrain from the GMC Hummer EV, capable of producing up to 745kW (1000hp).

It’s not the first time we’ve heard about a potential Camaro comeback this year. Last month, General Motors President Mark Reuss told [*The Detroit News*](https://eu.detroitnews.com/story/business/autos/general-motors/2025/07/11/mark-reuss-how-gm-is-remaking-its-brands/84454124007/?ref=torquecafe.com) there are steps to be taken before the Camaro returns.

“I think that formula of beauty - and a little bit of functionality and fun - all of that is important \[for the Camaro\],” Reuss said.

“If we were getting back into Camaro, that piece of it is really important. That segment is declining - I think they \[Ford\] sold more \[Mustang\] Mach-Es than they did Mustangs.

“I think that would be a great formula, and we have the ability to do that.”

Earlier this year, specialist publication [*GM Authority*](https://gmauthority.com/blog/2025/01/chevy-camaro-must-become-less-expensive-to-see-next-gen-exclusive/?ref=torquecafe.com) reported Chevrolet sources had said the new Camaro would need to be “affordable and attainable”, potentially ruling out an EV - especially now with US incentives for battery-powered vehicles being repealed.
