“Chevrolet and the Indianapolis 500 got a long, significant history and it’s an honor to mark the particular milestones of the Indy 500 race and the Camaro at the same time,” stated Chevrolet’s Mark Reuss, in a release. “It’s also a privilege to have Roger Penske carry out the driving duties, as his team has helped Chevrolet earn 4 successive IndyCar maker titles from 2012.”
While the basic Camaro 50th Anniversary models offered to the public feature an unique Nightfall Gray exterior color with orange accents, the speed cars come in an exclusive Abalone White paint and has “100th Running of the Indianapolis 500” door graphics and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway logo design on the rear quarter panels. The 4 identical speed automobiles also include all the basic bits from the Camaro 50th Anniversary model.
Although the routine 50th Anniversary package is readily available on both the 2SS and 2LT coupe and convertible models, which is standard with a turbo 2.0-liter I-4 and has the option of a 3.6-liter V-6, allpace vehicles are coupe only and sport the 455-hp 6.2-liter LT1 V-8 engine of the SS.
In 2015, Chevrolet-powered automobiles took the top 4 areas during the 2015 Indianapolis 500 with Juan Pablo Montoya of Group Penske taking the first place surface. This year’s race is placed on May 29.
