The new-look Gen3 Camaro ZL1 Supercar prototype has taken to Queensland Raceway for a shakedown.

The Gen3 Camaro prototype last took to the track at the Ipswich circuit for testing in January.

An all-new black 'stealth' livery has been applied to the car, which will make its first event appearance in Tasmania next weekend.

The Gen3 Camaro's public debut and subsequent testing was conducted with a chrome livery.

In line with the growing identity of the Chevrolet Racing brand name, black and gold now adorns the car.
