Al Oppenheiser has been the man most synonymous with the

Chevy Camaro

. He has been

the chief engineer for the fifth and sixth generations

of the American

sports car

and is largely credited with making it the spectacular performer we know today. Now,

Car and Driver reports

he is going over to

General Motors

electric vehicle

team as its chief engineer.

He will also reportedly be overseeing multiple models, rather than just one with the

Camaro

. Taking over for Oppenheiser on the Camaro program will be

Mark Dickens

from the Performance Variants, Parts, Accessories and Motorsports Engineering department. We’ve reached out to

GM

to confirm the report and will update this with official comment when we hear back.

Oppenhesier has been the enthusiastic face for the iconic car and it has become an enthusiast favorite since its reintroduction for the 2010 model year. Side note: Chevy’s

electric cars

should be pretty superb drivers with him at the helm.
