When asked by Inside Line whether a production twin-turbo Chevrolet Camaro is in the works, General Motors’ vice-chairman Bob Lutz responded with “Perhaps.” Although this is far from an admission, it makes fans everywhere relish the possibility. Aside from this, Lutz confirmed a production version of the Camaro Synergy Concept shown at SEMA as well as an all-black special-edition model.

The fact that Chevrolet is considering producing a twin-turbo Camaro shouldn’t come as a surprise since Chevrolet did roll out a twin-turbo V6 Camaro for Jay Leno at SEMA a few weeks ago. Jay said that the car produces about 425hp so what we’re waiting for could be a very impressive Z28.

Chevrolet launched a graphics campaign last month asking Camaro enthusiasts to vote for their favorite design from several accessory graphics packages. The top four designs were produced and brought to the SEMA Show.

A Silver Ice Metallic Camaro will wear those designs on different days. When the convention ends, another round of voting will be conducted and the winner will be considered for future production. Brent Dewar, vice president of Chevrolet, said that Camaro has thousands of fans on the social media sites and that this is one way for the company to stay connected to its customers. Dewar expects voting to be close. He says though that the “real winners” will be the customers who personalize their Camaro with the winning graphics package. Already, the Camaro Graphics display vehicle, which is located prominently in the GM display at the SEMA Convention, has attracted much attention.

Yes, it’s true! What you see in the photos is the car that will hit the U.K. dealerships in January 2010. As you can see, the car will feature Lamborghini Reventon-style swollen nostrils and a Pontiac Trans-Am inspired ducktail spoiler, giving it an aggressive look.

This kit will be completed by the 22-inch wheels manufactured using billet aluminium and by the coil-over suspension recalibrated for the pitted tarmac. Under the hood, this baby will have a 6.2-liter V9 engine capable to deliver over 600 hp. This limited edition VR Camaro will be available only in black or white highlighted with copper accents, while the pricing will be around £50,000 which means half of the £106,605 ZR1 Corvette.

The Camaro Dusk Concept is inspired by the style of young, urban professionals and offers a contemporary tuner aesthetic featuring an aggressive look, a lowered ride height, new 21-inch wheels, the rear spoiler from an SS model and a custom ground effects package.

The ground effects package includes a racing-inspired front splitter, rocker extensions and a rear diffuser. Of course, these are still prototype parts that may enter production as dealer-available accessories at a later date. The same thing applies for the 21-inch wheels from BBS. Many of the details, such as the taillamp and fog lamp bezels, match the finish of the wheels, lending a more premium look to the car. More details and photos after the jump!

The Jay Leno Camaro, showcased at this year’s SEMA Show promises to offer style, performance and efficiency in a big way.

The new car is powered by a a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.6L direct injected V6 (that comes standard on the Camaro LS and LT models) but the real power comes from a pair of Turbonetics T-3 turbochargers, force-feeding the engine about seven pounds of boost and lifting its horsepower level to about 425 hp. This means that the car has about 40% more power comparing it to the stock version and in normal driving (when the turbochargers aren’t making boost), there’s virtually no penalty in fuel economy over the non-turbocharged 3.6-liter engine. More details and photos after the jump!

Camaros seem to be a favorite inspiration at the SEMA Show. Already, we’ve made a note to view the Camaro variations from Hurst, Lingenfelter, and Yenko. Another one comes from Hendrick Motorsports, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Hendrick will be rolling out 25 of these fully loaded SS Camaros, with each having a price tag of $76,181.

Hendrick’s version uses plenty of carbonfiber. The lightweight material is used for the front splitter, rear diffuser, rear spoiler, rocker panels, and hood inserts. Its exterior has a see-through ZR1-style hood that highlights the Eaton TVS supercharger atop the V8 directly beneath. For enhanced performance, the Hendrick Camaro boasts of a blower, an upgraded exhaust system, short-throw shifter, and Eibach suspension components. This very exclusive Hendrick Motorsports vehicle is pricey but there are bound to be enthusiasts willing to part with their cash for this collector’s item. If you’re interested, these cars can be purchased through Jimmie Johnson Chevrolet in San Diego, Calif. or at one of three Hendrick Chevrolet dealerships. Photo gallery after the jump!
