Here are the pictures that prove that Chevrolet"s Camaro Cabriolet is still on target for launch next year.

What"s more, this latest model also helps prove that it won"t just be US enthusaists that get to enjoy its good looks and impressive performance... For the first time ever, buyers in the UK will be offered the model too.

The newcomer, spied testing in the Australian outback, had been rumoured to be victim of parent firm GM"s latest round of cost cutting. However these latest pictures dismiss that out of hand.

Just like its fixed-roof stablemate, the new drop-top is will be powered by÷ 

a 6.0-litre

V8, delivering more than 400bhp to the rear wheels. Drivers will also be offered a six-speed manual

gearbox. It also had independent rear suspension.

Both

versions of the Camaro will be available in the US later this year, with

right-hand-drive variants expected to reach UK showrooms in 2010.
