Chevrolet Camaro 67 Hot Wheels Concept

Forty-four years after its eye-catching Spectraflame paint, side-exit "zoomy" exhausts and red-line wheels first inspired imaginations for people of all ages, Chevrolet Performance has chosen to honor the original Hot Wheels "Custom Camaro" toy with a life-size adaptation. They have also unveiled an all-new, emission-compliant LS3 E-ROD Connect and Cruise crate powertrain system, which pairs the 430-horsepower LS3 engine with a 4L65-E four-speed automatic transmission. The challenge of translating a 1:64-scale toy car into a real 1:1 car proved difficult, since the dimensions don't correlate to those of a first-generation Camaro. However, the designers managed to take inspiration from the original toy, and present a slightly altered version that encapsulates its spirit in a realistic form. Curiously, it was painted Kinetic Blue, just like the upcoming Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition mass-produced model. "A literal interpretation of the toy car would have been too cartoonish - it just wouldn't look right on a full-size car," stated Chevrolet Design Manager Dave Ross. "The stance and wheels of the concept vehicle are different, as well as some of the proportions that the toy possesses, but the body lines and styling details are the same." The car featured many more highlights, such as shaved door handles with remote keyless entry, a hood that matches the design of the original Custom Camaro toy, Hot Wheels exterior badges and grille emblem, stainless steel "zoomie" side-exit exhausts, custom 18x9-inch (front) and 18x11-inch (rear) aluminum wheels with red-line accents, 2012 Camaro front bucket seats with shortened head restraints upholstered in white leather with blue accent stitching, silver vinyl-wrapped instrument panel, door panels and rear inner quarter panels, silver perforated headliner and sunshades, a custom instrument panel and console gauge kit, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. In addition to the new LS3 E-ROD Connect and Cruise crate powertrain system, the car is outfitted with a hydroformed front subframe with tubular control arms and adjustable coil-over shocks, a four-link rear suspension with adjustable coil-overs, rack-and-pinion steering and heavy-duty four-wheel disc brakes featuring six-piston calipers.
