Chevrolet launches full-scale Camaro Hot Wheels Edition. The dream of millions of Hot Wheels® fans of all ages will come to life when the Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition arrives at Chevrolet dealerships early next year. This is the first time a full-size production Hot Wheels® car has been offered for sale by any manufacturer.
The Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition debuted at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (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 Camaro Hot Wheels® Edition is available in V8 coupe with manual or automatic transmission, blending exterior cues of the high-performance Camaro ZL1 with a Kinetic Blue exterior colour and unique graphics. Exterior highlights include:
- ZL1 rear spoiler
- ZL1 front upper grille
- Ground effects package, including front splitter and rocker treatment
- Black 20-inch wheels
- 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.
