New Cadillac ATS Coupe (the basis for the next Camaro)
Weight and dimensions are all we really care about here, so check them out below.
Dimensions
Exterior
Wheelbase (in / mm):
109.3 / 2775
Length (in / mm):
183.6 / 4663
Height (in / mm):
54.8 / 1392 (roof)
55.1 / 1399 (with antenna)
Width (in / mm):
72.5 / 1841
Track (in / mm):
front: 60.3 / 1532
rear: 61.7 / 1568
Curb weight (lb / kg):
3418 / 1550
Weight distribution
(% front / rear):
51 / 49
It will be interesting to see how they style a Camaro using this car's hard points. I wouldn't hold my breath for it being any lighter than this either.

There is not much caddy fluff compared to what goes into normal cars these days. It should be a good chunk lighter than the current car though, which is always welcome. Still, the V8 will surely need a sturdier rear end and tranny too. I hope they offer the tt 4.2 in it though

I suppose the Camaro will have less trim (and possibly lightweight materials if a Z28 or ZL1 version is in the works), so 1500ish kg out of a second generation-inspired Camaro with the new LT1 is...the stuff wet dreams are made of. Really.

I highly, highly doubt a Camaro made out of this car will be any lighter at all. If anything bigger brakes, wider tires, larger diameter wheels alone will add weight. Not subtract it.
Plus this Cadillac likely weighs a good 200lbs more in the real world full of fluid, oil and fuel.

Woo hoo aanother flop for gm to venture into. I'm thrilled it's lighter but as tris held said, add in all the performance upgrades etc and we're still gonna be looking at a 300 lbs car that's still 30 lbs too ******* heavy. I mean **** an M3 is a better car as far as comforts luxury etc and its still lighter!

The newest M4 is 3300 lb and the M3 is 3351, each with a 3L twin turbocharged I6, that's about as good as it will get anymore. They also MSRP around 60k and only go up... I'm thinking the next Camaro SS will cost a tad less.

You guys act like this car is soooo stupid heavy... yet the 4th gens tipped the scales at 3400-3500 pounds. So if the 6th gen Camaro weighed in at 3500-3600, that isn't bad at all.
Sometimes I think some of you are 100% impossible to please. If they somehow made the 6th gen lighter than the 4th gen you'd complain about something else

I'd be happier than hell if it came in at 3500lbs with the new LT1. I'd be almost as happy with an LS3. I might actually consider selling my blazer, and trading my truck in towards one. So long as they actually put a drivetrain that can handle the power, it sounds like it's off to a good start.

3600lbs is my bet.

3600 would be a good target weight. That way, it won't interfere w/ Corvette or ATS sales, plus they can use whatever engines they'd like. There's the problem with selling so many similar vehicles... too many choices.

The Corvette, Camaro, and ATS don't need the added pressure of competeing against each other.
