The first time the production was paused was for seven years from 2003 to 2010 before it was brought back, though with the mission of the company being to offer all-electric variants of popular models, it's not likely it will resume.
As confirmed by Road & Track via an email exchange with the automaker, the sixth generation of the sporty muscle car has ended, with no following model teased - EV or otherwise.
"Camaro is a passion product," Chevy's statement to Road & Track reads.
"It has developed a fan base across the world and has brought people into Chevrolet dealerships for generations.

"The sixth generation specifically represented athleticism and composure – exuding confidence on the road and dominance on the track."
It comes after General Motors, the owner of Chevrolet, said it plans to sell only electric passenger vehicles around the world by 2035.
The Camaro's lifelong competitors, like the Dodge Challenger and Charger and Ford's Mustang, have announced the demise of the traditional muscle cars in favor for electric versions.
Ford's Mustang Dark Horse is still powered with a high-output V8 engine with track-ready features, and the Dodge Challenger EV has been teased several times.

The Camaro, though, appears to not have anything following the end of production - setting the sun on a 56 year-long legacy.
Not even a 'Final' or 'Farewell' edition has been announced.
Of the news, one person on X, formerly known as Twitter, wrote: "Let’s see how long that lasts."
Road & Track's readers also had strong opinions of the General Motors' choice in ending production, with many thinking it's a mistake, given their engineering excellence.
"I believe that GM has made a huge mistake going all electric," one user wrote.
"They perfect the pushrod V8 beyond belief, then throw in the towel. What are they thinking? Management should take a lesson from Ford."
Another reader takes a jab at Ford's Mustang Mach-E, having turned a muscle car into an SUV.
"A sad goodbye to the legendary Camaro, hopefully a seventh generation comes out and then GM better not make it into an SUV," they wrote.
One reader mentioned that the Camaro was always nostalgic for them.

"Been a long time coming, but still nostalgic as I used to live right across the river from the plant," they wrote.
"Always liked the Camaro, but the industry is always changing."
