by Zack Colt

It is quite cute that Chevrolet thought of making every child’s dream come true with this Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Concept which has been revealed this year at SEMA, with the collaborationof the 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.”

The Chevrolet is being powered by an all-aluminum 6.2 liter LS3 V-8 mated to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manualtransmission.
