‘This is the car that gets me most excited about this year’s LM24. Running under the Garage 56 banner, which is typically reserved for hydrogen-powered oddities and the old DeltaWing, NASCAR legends Hendrick Motorsports have adapted a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 stock car to rub shoulders with some of the most advanced prototypes and GT racers on the planet’.
Again, those weren’t my words, but the words of Chevrolet. And its boss, Mr. General Motors President, Mark Reuss, added that, It turns out that they simply needed to look towards their pit garage to see the answer staring them straight in the face. The road car is called the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Garage 56 Edition, and there will be 54 of them. Nope, just messing with ya - there will, of course, be 56 of them built for some very lucky people.
“When adapting a race car appearance into a production car, you want to showcase themes, proportions and colors without making the car look out of place on the street”It was good to get Marc’s take on the car’s styling, because to me, at least, it just looks like the racing car, which is great. It’s in a similar shade of blue to the car that will be out on track, which is called Raptide Blue and is a new colour for 2024, and it has some similar gold stripes on the bonnet and boot.
