Images of the road-going 2010 Chevrolet Camaro convertible were leaked online earlier today, and now Leftlane has acquired two images of a model Camaro decked out in GM Performance Parts that will be available when the latest entrant into the pony car segment launches next year.

When the Camaro launches next spring, look for GM Performance to offer:

Custom seven-spoke wheels
Ground effects kit
Duck-tail and high-rise rear spoilers
Front grille insert
Rear-fascia blackout
RS and SS decal packages (RS package shown)

That list is likely to expand as the Camaro nears productions, with probable upgrades including a cold air intake, performance exhaust and many others.

The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro isn't slated to begin rolling off the assembly line floor until next February but, thanks to some leaked image, we can see what the road-going version will likely look like. These images are of the production (or at least pre-production) base model convertible, which is actually still over a year away from production.

The images give away some details not seen on prototypes captured in spy photos. Up front, the production Camaro does away with the center hood scoop seen on the Camaro prototypes. The prototype's odd looking headlights have also been replaced with more conventional units.

Out back, it looks like even the base car will get dual exhaust — something V6 Mustangs and Challengers do without.

Two sets of wheels can be seen in these shots — one pair on each side of the car — and presumably show off the base and an upgraded wheel package.

While spy shots of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro are about a dime-a-dozen these days, the latest spy shots of General Motors' upcoming pony car reveal an import step in the car's development process — testing has been moved from the streets to Germany's famed Nürburgring.

Spy photographers spotted the latest prototype arriving at GM's Nürburgring testing facility.

Moreover, the prototype spotted appears to be a performance model — possibly the Z28 but more likely the range-topping SS model. The first dead giveaway that this isn't your typical V6er is that the car is sporting brightly-colored Brembo brakes at all four corners, a treatment normally reserved for performance models.

Another tip-off that this isn't a base model car is the existence of an air intake just before the hood. Images of a base-model production convertible Camaro were leaked earlier this year, and that car was void of any kind of air inlets. Also, the previous-generation SS used a ram-air hood and, as any enthusiast can attest to, a functioning hood scoop is good for a few extra ponies.

It would also make sense that the top performance Camaro would be getting some track time at the Nürburgring as lesser models won't be as highly scrutinized for their performance.

GM is keeping tight lipped about what V8 will be making its way under the hood of the Camaro SS, but sources have indicated the car will get a version of the supercharged LSA motor used in the Cadillac CTS-V and Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
