More spy shots from the Nurburgring today, this time of the Camaro SS prototype that was spotted arriving at the track yesterday. We already pointed out the bright red Brembo calipers on this Camaro, which suggest it’s a high-performance SS version of the car, though that hasn’t been confirmed. What is special about these photos is that they’re the first time we’ve seen the Camaro really being driven hard on the track. Though we’ve seen plenty of Camaro spy shots in the past, most have been of the car caught in a parking lot, on a transport trailer or just meandering around town. Seeing the suspension under load is a thing of beauty that we’ve been waiting for, and KGP spy photogs tell us that it “looks impressive in action, and that its suspension looks well buttoned down on some of the ‘Ring’s challenging stretches.” Hopefully they have their stop watches ready when Chevy engineers run the car hard for a full lap.

Click above for high-res gallery of Chevy Camaro spy shots from Germany
We’ve been seeing Camaro prototypes everywhere since Bob Lutz declared that they will be tested out in public without any camouflage to cover their flanks. Camaro prototypes now hold as much of our interest as spy shots of the next Aveo (not really, but hyperbolic statements like that help make the point). But here we have a new batch of spy shots from a place where the Camaro has yet to set rubber to road: Germany. There’s only one reason for a U.S.-spec car to be in Germany, and that’s to undergo testing at the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife. GM has made the ‘Ring a second home for many of its performance vehicles, and the Camaro will benefit from being thrashed on one of the world’s most famous tracks while spy photographers watch with their lenses focused and stop watches in hand. This particular Camaro arrived wearing new shoes, as well. The car is sporting a set of conspicuously bright red Brembo calipers, which perhaps suggests that these stoppers will be an option on the car or standard equipment on the Camaro SS.
