Beside the Corvette Zo6X track car concept, Chevrolet also revealed the Camaro SSX track car concept at the SEMA show. Just like the ‘Vette, the Camaro too wears a unique icy White Metallic color with red accents and exposed carbon fiber parts. Maybe that’s the new special paint job for Chevy’s track-ready models.
The car is based on the Camaro SS and features uprated suspension and tweaked chassis for the track job. It is also lighter than the base car thanks to a carbon fiber aero kit with front splitter and adjustable rear wing – lightweight carbon fiber body panels, revised lower grille and unique brake cooling ducts.
Since it’s a track car, they’ve also ditched the sound-deadening material, carpeting and rear seat for the sake of lightness. Good!
