Not Done Yet: Lutz says ‘perhaps’ to twin-turbo Camaro

Filed under: Coupe, Performance, Rumormill

Apparently, if you put Bob Lutz in a room filled with journalists asking pointed questions about specific vehicles, you won’t get the industry-standard “we don’t comment on future product” line. Following Maximum Bob’s recent revelations about the CTS-V Sport Wagon and Coupe, along with a hybrid Chevrolet Impala, Buick Regal GS and a Caprice SS, when InsideLine asked Lutz about a twin-turbo version of the Chevrolet Camaro he simply responded “perhaps.”

In addition to confirming a production version of the limited edition Camaro Synergy shown at SEMA and murdered-out Camaro, Lutz hinted at the possibility of a production version of the boosted, 425-hp V6 Camaro GM created for Jay Leno for this month’s SEMA show. While it’s far from a confirmation – and we all know how these things go with Lutz – it could be an indication that Chevrolet may be looking to beat Ford to the punch by offering a turbo’d version of its pony car. The only question now is when we’ll receive an email from GM’s PR team issuing the prerequisite denials… or an announcement that Fritz Henderson will require Lutz to wear a ball-gag at all future media events.
