While the S650 seventh-generation 2024 Ford Mustang looks lonely as the sole V8-powered muscle car in America and the Dodge Charger rival is getting ready to inaugurate the new inline-six and EV lifestyle, there are some interesting developments on the performance scene as of late – at least virtually.
So, we thought that the S650 would reign supreme with the EcoBoost, GT, Dark Horse, and 800-hp GTD because the new Charger is in a different league altogether. But it seems that Ford may want a piece of the four-door muscle sedan sector after all, after seeing that Mopar fans will have the choice between a traditional fastback coupe Charger and the modern four-door saloon.

Also, while the sixth generation Chevy Camaro also bowed out last December alongside the L-bodied Dodge Charger and Challenger models from Stellantis, it turns out that GM may have been right to say that the Camaro is merely retired, not dead. Just recently, GM's president, Mark Reuss, reignited hope that the American automotive giant will prepare a future for the model after all.

According to the rumor mill, the corner office head honcho may have hinted that GM wants the Camaro nameplate to go back to its true, affordable pony car roots – albeit with electric power – and that an all-new, upcoming generation may receive the same tag as the cheapest Equinox EV, which kicks off at $35k. Factor in the potential $7,500 federal tax credit and other incentives, and you might be looking at a bargain performance EV.

However, this tag means it won't take a swing at the V8-powered Ford Mustang GT and Dark Horse regarding raw power – and won't compete with the Dodge Charger Daytona all-electric model either. Naturally, this revelation has ignited the imagination of many folks – including across the visionary realm of digital car content creators.

More precisely, Vince Burlapp (aka vburlapp on social media or burlappcar.com) is a prolific virtual artist who loves to dream of all the latest models across the wide-ranging automotive realm – and now he's thinking about ways to make the proposed seventh-generation Chevy Camaro EV as enticing as possible. His vision is of a fun and cool-looking four-door Camaro EV with hints of crossover prowess, meaning it could also be sold as an AWD model to enhance its practicality and capabilities.

Obviously, it's a quirky thing, but Toyota is already selling the $42k 2025 Crown four-door crossover-style sedan with the same target audience in mind. However, theirs is a mid-size model with exclusive hybrid power, and it's also a lot more expensive than the proposed $35k Camaro. Anyway, we'll see what comes out of this rumor – in the meantime, remember to take all these renderings with a healthy dose of salt, as always.
