According to the website pickuptruck.com, GM will revive the El Camino model in a few years. Last year, in an interview with Autoweek, the GM product guru Bob Lutz said he would \u201clove to do another El Camino but the grownups amongst us don\u2019t share that way of thinking\u201d.<\/p>\n

One year later, it has been reported that GM is considering to import the Australian Holden Ute onto the American market. The Ute is more famous for its performance than its capacity towing. In the last generation, it had the cheek to offer a 6.0 litre V8 engine that produces 349 bhp\/354 hp at 5600 rpm and a torque of 376 lb-ft\/510 Nm at 4400 rpm. Surely, the future El Camino would inherit the V8 engine to appeal to customers.<\/p>\n

Based on the Zeta platform like the future Camaro, GM could build it in the same factory. Compared to the Camaro, the Chevrolet Ute would be very similar to its Australian cousin. The front and rear faces will be different in order to be recognized as a Chevrolet but from the B-pillar, the rest of the car’s panels will be identical. The underpinnings will also be similar, meaning a 2915mm wheelbase, strut front suspension, and multi-link rear suspension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
