Exodus Pictures is a film studio, which is based in Michigan. These people officially unveiled the FireBreather – the new movie muscle car star. This is a Camaro-based muscle car, in which development took part Classic Design Concepts. This shiny pearl state-of-art muscle Camaro was designed by the writer and director of the Jinn movie – Ajmal Ahmad. In this production the FireBreather will make its first debut.

Actually, this is pretty much Chevrolet Camaro SS version, that is tuned with a sense of creativity by Classic Design Concepts – we can see a new front fasica, hood, rear fascia and some incredibly hot-looking wheels. Some people can make association with the old Trans-Am american muscle car. Most of the job is nothing more than a new-outfitted vision. Inside is  the Camaro’s 6.2-liter V8 with an Elbach Pro-Plus Performance handling package, and of course – Pirelli PZero Rosso tires.

After we presented you an interview with Doug Fehan, and the upcoming challenge for the Corvette C6R at The 24 Hours of Le Mans, we wanted to present you live image of this beautiful racing muscle car – The Chevrolet Corvette C6R GT2.

The shot above was snapped at the garages of Pratt & Miller, the racing outfit contracted by GM to develop and run the racing Corvettes. As we can see, the color scheme is the same black and yellow, but the 2010 C6R has sharper paint job.

The bodywork is built based on an aluminum frame – for instance – the GT1′s frame is made of steel. The brakes are made of steel, too. The power unit of the muscle car is a downsized 5.5-liter V8.

We all hope that the Corvette Racing team is going to beat the competition, dominated by Ferraris and Porsches.

“After Cruze in 2009 and Spark in 2010, our centenary year 2011 will usher in five more exciting Chevrolets for Europe,” Wayne Brannon, Chevrolet Europe managing director said according to Carscoop.

“The Aveo RS clearly demonstrates that we are ready to make a big step forward in the small-car segment. Coming to Europe in 2011, the new Aveo will be completely in tune with the striking new Cruze and Spark, our all-new compact and mini entries,” Brannon added.

There is no official information what the specifics of the European based muscle car will be, but some of the assumptions are about 3.6L V6 and 6.2L V8.

You may have heard about the upcoming convertible version of Chevrolet Camaro. The interesting things is that in all concept photos there is no top – it doesn’t exist.

A repoty by Automotive News say that GM has awarded Magna the contract to build the Camaro convertible top with approx. 20,000 units annually. These  numbers lead us to a conclusion that GM hopes the Camaro convertible is going to be a successful version. If this production plan comes real, the Camaro Convertible would then join the Mustang as the best selling convertible in America.

However, GM has yet to officially confirm the Camaro Convertible for production – it is expected that a Camaro Convertible could arrive later this year as a 2011 model.
