Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Concept is every child’s dream come true

Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Concept

Many childhood dreams are coming true this week at the 2011 SEMA Show in Las Vegas. One of the many wishes of every child is having a life-size Hot Wheels Camaro become a reality. This year, Chevrolet did just that by teaming up with toy company.

“The Camaro Hot Wheels concept is inspired by the “Custom Camaro” – the dazzling Spectraflame 1:64-scale toy that was part of the original 16 Hot Wheels cars released in 1968, Chevrolet said in a statement. “The project was a collaborative effort between the General Motors Design studio in Michigan and the Hot Wheels Design studio in California. Each sketched its own ideas of a life-size Hot Wheels Camaro, compared notes and refined their visions until the concept hit the right note for each group of designers.”

“The Camaro has been a mainstay in the Hot Wheels lineup since 1968,” said Phil Zak, GM design director. “Several generations of car enthusiasts grew up playing with Hot Wheels Camaros, while dreaming of driving the real thing, so this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make that dream a reality.”

Power for the Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Concept comes from an all-aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 V-8 mated to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual transmission.
