Camaro Z/28 Prototype Crashes on the Nürburgring: Video

Camaro Z/28 Prototype Crashes on the Nürburgring: Video

Did a Camaro Z/28 test mule just crash on Germany’s hallowed Nürburgring? Quite possibly, and we have the video to prove it.

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

The car in question, dressed in a swirly zebra pattern features a massive rear wing, huge wheels undoubtedly wrapped in gummy race tires and obvious aerodynamic enhancements up front. It looks totally ready to battle this legendary 13-mile circuit.

Unfortunately, in spite of those upgrades the “Green Hell” has still managed to claim another victim. This development Camaro didn’t have quite enough grip for one left-hand turn and the car slid off the tarmac and into a guardrail.

Fortunately, it doesn’t appear as though anyone was injured in this wreck and the vehicle looks like it’s still drivable. It’s likely the only victim here is a severely bruised ego.

Details about an upcoming version of the Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 are scarce right now. We have no idea what might power this hopped-up ponycar, but the previous version featured a monstrous 7.0-liter LS7 V8 that was good for a mighty 505 horsepower. The new-generation Camaro is lighter than its predecessor so it could perform even better with a less-muscular engine.

In any event, check out this video of a suspected Z/28 circling the Nürburgring. And if you don’t feel like waiting, feel free to skip ahead to the 1:35 mark to witness the wreck, which actually sounds a lot worse than it looks, so crank up the volume.
