Pretty incredible. The kid is surely going to wind up working for GM.

Designer, Kris Horton, hails from Ridgecrest, Calif. The 19-year-old is currently enrolled at the Cerro Coso Academy of Digital Animation. Horton would like to attend the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, where many of GM's top designers have emerged.

It's alright looking, if you like retro.

I think it should look smoother.

 

[Crimzon]

Wow, that ties in the old body styles with a nice modern flare.

 

[BrunoPuntzJones]

Wow, killer

Put that thing up against the 05 Stang

 

[optoman]

If they could build a car that looks that good and handles even better then it looks, I'd buy it.

 

[Cyberian]

Seems like they are going for the "retro" look.
I can't decide if I really like it or it's just OK.

 

[N8Magic]

If GM was smart, they'd hire that kid immediately.

I like the old styles Muscle cars own you

I respect people trying to integrate the original soul of a car into a current model, but that grill and headlights out of the 60's just ruins any sort of sexy lines the rest of the car has.

 

[Renob]

Wow I love it.

I think car design should be more saleen s7, less retro. The public wont like it at first, but they'll learn.

I thought they stopped making camaro's?

Do you like the 05 Mustang?

 

[Gunslinger08]

Viper + Vette + some other random stuff = this car.

Thank you! You just summed up what I was thinking!

Interesting.....not bad, as much as I hate retro.

But the back end is more like retro Corvair than '69 Camaro....maybe it's supposed to be '69 Camaro from the front, and 70s Camaro from the rear.

Makes me wish I still had my '67 RS/SS

Popular Hot Rodding did a feature on this kid this month. Comes with an issue of GM High-tech performace, too.

 

[Brutuskend]

I LIKE, but then I'm a retro kinda guy!

 

[Dragon365]

love at first sight!

 

[Lucky]

is it just me or does that thing have the rear of a fiero?

 

[Babbles]

I think it looks pretty awesome, the back end looks kinda strange but not too bad.
I kinda like the front end. Pretty retro and aggresive and it works with that car.
