This weekend Chevy is going to officially unveil the all-new 2016 Camaro at a special public event at Detroit’s Belle Isle Park. Leading up to its reveal, Chevy has continued to release small teasers of the new Camaro, but today’s teasers give us our clearest look yet at the 2016 Camaro.
In the latest tease, Chevy discusses the 350 hours of wind tunnel testing that the 2016 Camaro had to endure. Thanks to the extensive testing, the new Camaro will be more aerodynamic and drivers of the Camaro SS will experience a marked improvement in reduced aerodynamic lift.

“To balance these different aerodynamic targets, we tested literally hundreds of changes on the new Camaro, millimeters at a time,” said Kirk Bennion, Exterior Design manager.
For example, the initial design called for the lower grille bars to be set at a 20-degree angle to the horizon. However, after testing, the team improved engine-cooling airflow by one percent by shifting the angle to 13 degrees – a change that achieved the airflow target while maintaining the original grille design.
