A longtime tradition and another sign of the upcoming arrival of the Month of May took place April 3 as the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Chevrolet staged 50 identical Camaro Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary Edition convertibles for delivery on the main straightaway at IMS. The “Festival Event Cars” have reminded Indianapolis-area residents of the upcoming Indianapolis 500 since the 1960s, and this year’s fleet of unique Camaros again will turn heads as they are driven around Central Indiana. The 102nd Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil is scheduled for Sunday, May 27. Presenting the cars were Allison Melangton, Hulman Motorsports senior vice president, events; Rob Hillman, 500 Festival chairman of the board; Jeff Chew, senior manager of Chevy Racing; and Michael Stouffer, marketing manager of Chevy Racing. For 50 years, both Chevrolet and Hot Wheels® have been on the cutting edge of design inspiration and performance innovation. These two iconic brands are joining forces to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hot Wheels® with a special-edition Camaro that will make imagination a reality.
The all-new Camaro Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary Edition will be available on 2LT and 2SS coupe and convertible models. The Hot Wheels edition 500 Festival cars are based off the 2018 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS convertible and are powered by the LT1 6.2-liter V-8, which offers 455 horsepower and 455 pound-feet of torque. The exterior of the car features crush exterior paint, satin graphite stripes with silver ice metallic accents and graphite ground effects, 20-inch satin graphite wheels with milled face, a Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary fender badge, front and rear orange brake calipers, dark taillamps and a black Chevrolet Bowtie. The car also features jet-black leather-appointed interior with orange inserts and orange accent stitching, a suede steering wheel with orange accent stitching and a Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary badge, illuminated door sill plates with a Hot Wheels® 50th Anniversary badge, premium carpeted floor mats with orange stitching and ghost stripes, and orange knee pads and seat belts.
