Camaro Faqs

GM revealed their redesigned yellow Camaro that was used during the filming of “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” during the Chicago Auto Show. GM Vice President of Global Design – Ed Wellburn – worked closely with the director of the two movies – Michael Bay to create a design that would work well with the sequel. They had to work the new look into the plot.

“The actual Autobot is from the first one,” said Ed Wellburn to MTV News. “The car that’s on display is the new car for the sequel. Bumblebee was injured in the first movie,” he said. “When it comes back in the new movie, it’s bulked up; it’s stronger.” Wellburn personally oversaw the new design changes to make sure that they would match up with the new and darker theme of the movie.

“The hood is a more powerful hood design,” Wellburn explained. “We wanted to make sure that it was clearly linked to the original car—same color, same graphics. We toyed, ‘Well maybe it should be a convertible.’ But no, this is about Bumblebee who has been rebuilt and is back stronger than ever.”

He went on to say what other dramatic changes that they had made. “The front end’s a bit different,” he pointed out. “You can see the aggressive vertical air intakes that are below the headlamps. It’s a different wheel design.”

People who will go to see the movie will notice that the new Bumblebee Camaro is more closely matched with the production model. Unlike in the first movie in which he strongly resembled the concept version. On the big screen we will be given a taste of all the power they put into it.
