Spied! 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28

The king of Camaros lives.

Spy shooters have captured the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 during testing, and this monstrous red demon is wearing huge tires, dual exhaust and performance fascia.

But this mule also has a telltale engine marking: a strip of paper indicating the venomous 6.2-liter supercharged V8 is underhood, and this particular example is using a slushbox.

There are also 20-inch wheels, Goodyear tires, a larger air intake and upgraded rockers. This Z28 was captured with other Camaros and the Ford Mustang Shelby GT500, apparently for comparison.

The “No. 2” decal on the side is said to be an inside racing joke. Look for a launch in early 2011.
