2018 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition

CAMARO HOT WHEELS EDITION OFFERS FULL-SCALE FUN

Fans can purchase life-size Hot Wheels Camaro beginning in spring 2018
EL SEGÚNDO, Calif. — Chevrolet and Hot Wheels today announced the 2018 Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition, celebrating 50 years of partnership, performance innovation and design.

The commemorative package pays homage to iconic Hot Wheels features including a Crush exterior color and stripes that replicate the toys' famous orange tracks. The $4,995 package, available on Camaro 2LT and 2SS coupe and convertible models, goes on sale in the first quarter of 2018.

'The Chevrolet Performance design studio is full of designers who were inspired by Hot Wheels,' said Tom Peters, director of Exterior Design for Chevrolet Performance Cars. 'The Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition captures that passion, turning childhood fantasy into reality.'

Camaro and Hot Wheels have pushed the boundaries of design and performance for 50 years. The 1967 Camaro offered a distinctive design with available hidden headlamps and a front sub-frame that enhanced responsiveness and refinement. In 1968, Hot Wheels elevated the performance of toy vehicles with wide wheels and low-friction axles, designing them to be the fastest toy cars on and off the track.

'In the 1960s Hot Wheels and Camaro challenged vehicle design by elevating the speed, power and performance of both die-cast and pony cars alike. For 50 years, both brands have developed high-performance cars that embody the challenger spirit.' said Chris Down, senior vice president and Global Brand GM, Hot Wheels. 'We're thrilled that fans can now experience the essence of Hot Wheels in this special edition Camaro.'
