The 2018 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels® editions at SEMA 2017

 

 

 

Every generation of the Chevrolet Camaro has been replicated as a 1/64 scale die-cast car by Mattel’s Hot Wheels®. To celebrate the 50-year anniversary of Hot Wheels die-cast cars, Chevrolet debuted the Hot Wheels® edition 2018 Camaro at the 2017 SEMA show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) which they call “a die-cast dream come true.”

 

 

 

The Hot Wheels® package which costs $4,995, and available as either the coupe of convertible features an exclusive “Crush” exterior color with “Satin Graphite” stripes with Silver Metallic accents, 20-inch Satin Graphite machine-faced wheels, “Satin Graphite” ground effects, a unique grille with Galvano chrome inserts and Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary fender badges.

 

 

The Hot Wheels® edition Camaro interior features Jet Black leather-appointed interior with orange inserts and orange accent stitching, a suede-wrapped steering wheel with orange accent stitching and Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary badge, orange knee bolsters and seat belts, and premium carpeted floor mats with Orange stitching and ghost stripes.

 

 

 

On the other side of the Chevrolet booth at SEMA 2017 was the wilder, COPO (Central Office Production Order) Hot Wheels® edition Camaro, of which only 69 will be built during the 2018 model year available only to randomly selected lottery winners.

 

 

The COPO Camaro is designed for NHRA Stock Eliminator competition with a solid rear axle, full Chromoloy NHRA-certified roll cage, Weld wheels, high-rise carbon fiber hood, a LSX 350-cubic inch supercharged engine and Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary fender badges in addition to many racing-only features such as wheelie bars. Chevrolet predicts eight-second elapsed times on the quarter-mile drag strip from the COPO Camaro.
