Speaking with Automotive News, Schuster said General Motors is not afraid to lose some near-term sales in order to focus on a more profitable distant future. Using this logic, it would appear the original formula of the Camaro will drastically change as the iconic performance machine will be replaced by an all-electric sedan from 2025.

Muscle car enthusiasts are certainly not going to like the idea of a Camaro without a large-displacement engine. Not only that, but the report goes on to say the existing model won’t go through the typical facelift before being killed off to make room for a four-door EV. Perhaps it’s not all too surprising seeing as how GM has already teased a fully electric Dodge-badged muscle car for a 2024 release.

In addition, the Mustang name has been applied to an SUV that also doesn’t have a combustion engine, so we should probably get used to the idea of legendary American performance cars being repurposed for the impending EV era. Speaking of embracing a zero-emissions future, GM alone wants to roll out no fewer than 30 global electric cars between now and 2025.

With sales of performance cars being on a downward path corroborated with the EV push, it’s no wonder the likes of Camaro are living on borrowed time with their gas-guzzling engines. Muscle cars are endangered, but there’s still plenty of time to buy one before electrification takes over completely.
