The first shots of the pre-production 2010 Camaro ragtop have emerged.

As with the other versions of the Camaro, the convertible is currently undergoing a series of tests to make sure it will be ready for production late next year in the United States. The rag-top is expected to come equipped with a similar engine to the coupe concept.

That car featured a 6.0-litre V8, delivering over 400bhp at the rear wheels, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. It also had independent rear suspension, unlike past generations of Camaros.
