Some of the other exterior highlights here include ZL1 rear spoiler (coupe models), ZL1 front upper grille, Ground effects package, including front splitter and rocker treatment, black 21-inch wheels with red outline stripe, two-tone matte hood graphic and rear taillight panel “blackout” graphic, fender “flame” graphics, Hot Wheels grille and decklid logos.
The interior of this Camaro is as exciting as the exterior. It is black leather-trimmed, accented with red and black seat stitching with the Hot Wheels logo embroidered on the front seats. The instrument panel and door inserts are black as well, with the Hot Wheels-style flame decal on each door. Hot Wheels® Edition sill plates and Camaro-logo premium floor mats with red edging are also included.
