General Motors isn’t throwing in the towel for its signature rear-wheel-drive platform, which could potentially lead the way for a new Camaro. According to enthusiast site, GMAuthority, the General is readying a next-generation Alpha chassis for future Cadillac models.

But while there wasn’t any specific hint at a Camaro revival, the earlier variants of the Alpha platform served as the pony car’s backbone since its initial revival in 2010.

Circumstantially speaking, with the Alpha platform continuing on, this could potentially open the doors for a seventh-generation Camaro.

It was just a short while ago when GM announced the discontinuation of its BMW 3 and 5 Series fighters, the CT4 and CT5, in a letter to its dealer network. In the same letter, Cadillac’s global vice president, John Roth, confirmed that the CT5 will get a follow-up act.

A new CT5 means GM needs a new platform to underpin the next model, which in this case, is the next-gen “Alpha 2-2.” According to GMAuthority, however, the next-gen CT5 won’t be the only car to come from the newly revised platform.
