"The SSX concept explores taking Camaro's excellent street performance and
extending it into a road course context," said Chris Perry, vice president,
Chevrolet marketing. "The car expresses Camaro performance while also signaling
Chevrolet's new commitment to developing and offering a portfolio of performance
parts for racing enthusiasts."
The Camaro SSX Track Car has a purposeful
aesthetic, with exterior appointments and suspension modifications aimed at road
course performance. They include carbon fiber aero parts - front splitter and
adjustable rear wing - lightweight carbon fiber body panels, revised lower
grille and unique brake cooling ducts. The carbon body panels significantly
lower the Camaro's weight, as does the elimination of much of the production
car's sound-deadening material, carpeting and rear seat.
Low-gloss Icy
White Metallic exterior paint is contrasted with the carbon aero parts, door
graphics/racing number and red details; and this competition-ready Camaro rolls
on dedicated track wheels and tires. This concept was constructed with input
from Pratt and Miller, Chevrolet partner in Corvette Racing, and Riley
Technologies using parts proven in the Grand Am racing series.
