Chevrolet camaro hot wheels concept
Chevrolet is bringing a number of modified vehicles to this year’s SEMA show, ranging from the audio-focused Cover the World Spark concept to the nostalgic retro build of the 1967 Camaro Hot Wheels concept. Each modified Chevy brings something different to the SEMA floor, and shows that the bowtie brand still encourages customization.
Tony Stewart’s Camaro ZL1
NASCAR driver Tony Stewart helped design this wild Camaro ZL1, adding personal touches like the gray metallic exterior color and flat red and silver tribal-pattern graphics. Matching those graphics are the red halo accents surrounding the headlights, which sit behind tinted lenses. The custom build sits on five-spoke alloy wheels finished in Piano Black with red accents. Inside, the car features a Jet Black leather interior with suede door panel inserts and scarlet accent stitching. The seatbacks are embroidered with Tony Stewart’s signature. © Provided by MotorTrend MotorTrend Image
Guy Fieri’s Corvette 427 Convertible Collector Edition
Chevy teamed up with TV personality Guy Fieri to build a custom Corvette 427 for the show. The convertible is painted black with yellow stripes as a tribute to Fieri’s personal 1968 and 2011 Camaro SS convertibles, and rides on 19×10-inch black Cup wheels in front, and 20×12-inch alloys in the back.
Chevrolet Performance 1967 Camaro Hot Wheels Concept
Paying homage to the very first Hot Wheels die-cast Camaro, this life-size concept attempts to recreate the look of the iconic toy car. The Camaro sports a Kinetic Blue paint scheme — the same as the 2013 Chevy Camaro Hot Wheels Edition, and a nod to the original toy’s blue Spectraflame color — along with staggered 18-inch alloy wheels with red-line accents, stainless steel “zoomie” side-exit exhausts, shaved door handles, a custom hood, and Hot Wheels emblems. Since blowing up a 1:64-scale toy to life size poses a few challenges, designers took some liberties with the original toy’s styling elements to avoid making them look “too cartoony” on a full-scale car. © Provided by MotorTrend MotorTrend Image
For an interior, the ’67 Camaro Hot Wheels concept gets white leather bucket seats from a 2012 Camaro with shortened head rests and blue accent stitching, along with a silver vinyl-wrapped instrument cluster, silver vinyl door panels and inner rear quarter panels, silver headliner and sunshade, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
The best part about the show car may be what’s under the hood, as the concept uses a new LS3 E-Rod Connect and Cruise crate powertrain system. That retrofitted setup includes a 430-hp V-8 engine mated to a 4L65-E four-speed automatic transmission, and is emissions-compliant and legal for installation in more than 20 million pre-OBD II vehicles in California, according to Chevy. The Camaro also gets a hydroformed front subframe with tubular control arms, four-link adjustable rear suspension, adjustable front and rear coil-over shocks, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-wheel disc brakes with six-piston calipers.
“Cover the World” Spark Concept
In conjunction with MTV Iggy, Chevy built this music-inspired, one-off Spark hatchback. The concept boasts a complete Kicker QS audio setup, which includes two 15-inch Solo-Baric L7 subwoofers, six 6-inch QS component sets, two 1000-watt mono subwoofer amps, two four-channel and two two-channel 500-watt mid and high amps, and a pair of Cush headphones. A Numark Mixdeck Quad Universal DJ system allows the subcompact to work as a mobile DJ or karaoke platform, and works in concert with the Spark’s other onboard gear to produce club-quality sound. © Provided by MotorTrend MotorTrend Image
For exterior looks, the concept gets a Lemonade yellow exterior color, ground effects package, 18-inch five-spoke Spiral Grey alloy wheels, a Z-Spec grille, yellow-tinted chrome trim, headlights, and taillights, and “Cover the World” star-shaped graphics.
Fans will have a chance to win this unique Spark by voting for their favorite reimagined pop songs, which will be performed by four musical acts.
Camaro ZL1 Touring Convertible Concept
The Camaro ZL1 Touring Convertible concept features a green exterior finish and 10-spoke Chevrolet Accessories-brand wheels painted liquid metal with a milled wheel face. Chevy says this concept would be easy for tuners to duplicate, as it was put together using readily available accessories. The car also gets a matte-black splitter and rockers, blacked-out upper front fascia, liquid metal-finished windshield header frame, taillamp bezels, and exterior badges, a polished shock tower brace, Ebony leather seats with perforated Mojave inserts, and a Chevrolet Accessories Ice Blue interior lighting kit.
Camaro Performance V-8 and V-6 Concepts
These two performance-oriented concepts were built to show what’s possible with driveline and suspension kits based on components from the Camaro ZL1 and 1LE. The V-8 model gets a ZL1 rear differential kit, 1LE suspension kit, and ZL1 brakes. Also included in the build is a Concept dual-mode exhaust system, ZL1 rockers and rear diffuser, Camaro Dusk front splitter, staggered 20-inch black alloy wheels, and custom hood and decklid graphics.
The V-6 model features a 323-hp V-6, and receives ZL1 brakes, and the suspension and differential from the 1LE. Painted in Summit White, the Camaro Performance V-6 also features a Chevrolet Performance shock tower brace, ZL1 dual-mode exhaust and rear diffuser, matte-black vinyl hood wrap with exposed racing stripe, and an RS gauge package.

Фирма Chevrolet поздравила марку Hot Wheels спецсерией пони-каров Camaro
В следующем году исполняется 50 лет марке игрушечных автомобилей Hot Wheels концерна Mattel. Первая серия из шестнадцати масштабных моделей была выпущена в 1968 году, а самым первым автомобилем в ней стал Chevrolet Camaro. Логично, что к юбилею популярных игрушек компания General Motors подготовила свой подарок — спецсерию пони-каров Camaro в исполнении Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition. Разумеется, в масштабе 1:1.
По словам Тома Питерса, директора дизайна экстерьеров в студии Chevrolet Performance Cars, едва ли не все его сотрудники выросли на машинках Hot Wheels, поэтому спецсерия символизирует страсть, воплотившую детские мечты в реальность.
От обычных Camaro юбилейные автомобили отличает особая окраска Crush и полосы-наклейки, перекликающиеся по цвету с модельками и игрушечными треками Hot Wheels плюс памятные именники. Эта опция по цене 4995 долларов будет доступна для купе и кабриолетов Camaro в исполнениях 2LT и 2SS. То есть самый доступный пони-кар юбилейной серии обойдется в 31,5 тысячи долларов с учетом доставки до дилера.
Кроме того, пакет Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition можно будет приобрести для одного из 69 автомобилей для дрэг-рейсинга COPO Camaro 2018 модельного года. Эти машины оснащаются уникальными моторами V8 5.7, 7.0 и только что заявленным новым двигателем семейства Small Block V объемом 6,2 л. Цена — минимум 109 тысяч долларов.
Вживую юбилейные Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition покажут через неделю на выставке SEMA в Лас-Вегасе, а в салонах американских дилеров они появятся в первом квартале будущего года.
2013 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels
2013 Chevy Camaro Hot Wheels
The dream of millions of Hot Wheels® fans of all ages will come when the Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition arrives at Chevrolet dealerships early next year. It’s the first time a full-size, production Hot Wheels® car has been offered for sale by any manufacturer.
Blister packaging and orange race track not included.
“Millions of us grew up playing with Hot Wheels,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “Offering a special production model of the Camaro Hot Wheels is an opportunity to bring those memories to life, for kids of all ages.”
The Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition debuted today at the SEMA Show, in Las Vegas. A special run of the Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition will be produced in the first quarter of 2013 – and like the collectable toys on which it is based – when they’re gone, they’re gone.
“It’s been nearly 20 years since I started designing cars for Hot Wheels and I have yet to drive one home,” said Felix Holst, vice president of creative for the Mattel Wheels Division. “Personally, I can’t wait to open the doors and see the Hot Wheels Camaro sitting in the garage.”
The appearance of the Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition echoes the cues that Hot Wheels enthusiasts recognize, including a vibrant, graphics-accented metallic paint scheme and even the red-lined wheels. The result is instantly recognizable as a Hot Wheels.
The Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition is available in coupe and convertible models – in 2LT (V-6) and 2SS (V-8) trims, blending exterior cues of the high-performance Camaro ZL1 with a Kinetic Blue exterior color and unique graphics. Exterior highlights include:
- ZL1 rear spoiler (coupe models)
- ZL1 front upper grille
- Ground effects package, including front splitter and rocker treatment
- Black 21-inch wheels with red outline stripe
- Two-tone matte hood graphic and rear taillight panel “blackout” graphic
- Fender “flame” graphics
- Hot Wheels grille and decklid logos.
On the inside, a black leather-trimmed interior is accented with red and black seat stitching with the Hot Wheels logo embroidered on the front seats. The instrument panel and door inserts are black, with the Hot Wheels-style flame decal on each door. Hot Wheels® Edition sill plates also distinguish the car, along with Camaro-logo premium floor mats with red edging.
SS models feature a 6.2L V-8, which is offered in two iterations: the “L99” on automatic-equipped vehicles and the “LS3” on manual-equipped models. Horsepower for the L99 is 400 (298 kW) and torque is 410 lb.-ft. (556 Nm) – and it features fuel-saving Active Fuel Management. The LS3 develops 426 horsepower (318 kW) and 420 lb.-ft. (569 Nm) of torque.
LT-based models feature the “LFX” 3.6L V-6 engine, with dual-overhead camshafts, variable valve timing and direct injection. It’s rated at 323 horsepower at 6,800 rpm.
A dual-mode exhaust system is available on SS models with the six-speed manual transmission, as well as LT models with either the manual or automatic transmission. Similar to the systems found on the Camaro ZL1, the vacuum-actuated system provides a quieter driving experience at low engine speeds and a more aggressive sound during hard acceleration.
Chevrolet’s MyLink infotainment system is standard on the Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition. Its color touch radio, with a seven-inch touch screen, also can be paired with an available in-dash GPS navigation system. The color touch radio with MyLink enables a higher level of in-vehicle wireless connectivity and customized infotainment options, while building on the safety and security of OnStar. It seamlessly integrates online services such as Pandora® internet radio and Stitcher SmartRadio® using hands-free voice and touch-screen controls via Bluetooth-enabled phones.
Carscoops
These are the first photos of the new Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels concept car that was revealed just a few hours before its public debut at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas later today.
The life-size concept model is inspired by the iconic “Custom Camaro” Spectraflame 1:64-scale toy that was part of the original 16 Hot Wheels car series released in 1968.
The Camaro Hot Wheels is the result of the joint collaboration between the GM Design studio in Michigan and the Hot Wheels Design studio in California.
The most eye-catching feature of the car is of course the unique, chrome-style metallic-green finish offset by matte black racing stripes and aero parts. The concept model also features 20-inch satin black wheels with red accents, a black aluminum hood insert with vent extractors, while power is provided by a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 matched to a six-speed manual gearbox.
And while there are no current plans to produce the life-size concept model, Hot Wheels will offer a collector’s edition 1:64-scale toy version over at its collectors webpage.
