Due to the fact that the new Chevrolet Camaro is inspired by a hot wheels car, which is very small, the actual Camaro was a little wild and unexpected since it was pretty large at the L.A. Auto Show.
Trying to take some of the distinguishing features of a 1:64 model and super-size them back to full-size, the Camaro Hot Wheels Concept has dazzling Spectraflame finish, flat-black graphics, and redline wheels. This model was officially unveiled at this year’s SEMA show.
This Camaro was the first Hot Wheels car ever produced, ever since Hot Wheels cars made their debut in 1968, according to Felix Holst, who is the VP of design for the Mattel division overseeing Hot Wheels.
The paint of the car was actually an invention of the team in order for them to be able to build this concept, coming up with the reflective finish from Gold Touch Inc, with a liquid-metal solution in the primer, then a green tint applied over that in layers.
Continuing with the appearance, the new Camaro Hot Wheels Concept has details like smoked-lens taillamps, exhaust bezels, ground effects, a ZL1 grille and rear spoiler, and a black-leather IP with Torch Red accents.
The most fun part is the fact that there is a Hot Wheels 1:64 scale model of the Concept itself, offered through hotwheelscollectors.com.
