Chevy Camaro Loses a Wheel while Street Racing a BMW M3 [NSFW]


Those of you who like stereotyping vehicle brands and their owners may find a thing or two to say about the participants in what we can only assume to be an amateur street race between a tuned, fourth generation Chevrolet Camaro Coupe and a reportedly turbocharged, E36 BMW M3.

The race for the Camaro came to an end as fast as it accelerated when one of its wheels decided to it was time to call it quits and follow its own independent path.

The Power of Sounds: Audio-Camaro Project by Magnat


While not as near as popular as in North America, the Chevrolet Camaro has its fan base on the other side of the Atlantic where it is available exclusively in V8 trim.

On the tuning front, it's mainly the Germans that provide upgrades for the fifth-gen Camaro with the latest offering coming from Audiovox and its Magnat brand that has prepared a new project car dubbed the "Audio-Camaro".

The car was created to showcase the audio brand's systems but the Germans didn't stop there making improvements under the hood as well as to the exterior and interior of the Camaro.

There's No Easy Way Out for Snow Covered Camaro


Most owners of rear-wheel drive sports cars living in areas of the world that are often plagued by snow during the winter months choose to park and lock up their cars, usually sometime towards the end of fall, and take them out again only when spring arrives.

Nevertheless, there are some drivers who either don’t want to or simply cannot afford to own a second vehicle as a winter-season daily ride, so they man up and use their RWD models at all times.

Next Chevrolet Camaro Futuristically Envisioned by Design Student


We still have a few years ahead of us until General Motors pulls the wraps off its next generation Chevrolet Camaro that will go head-to-head with the new Mustang currently being prepared by Ford for launch in 2014, something that gives design students the opportunity to dream up their own vision of the car.

Arkadiy Okhman, a software engineer who decided to go back to school to become an automobile designer, and who is currently a student at the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Michigan, came up with this, rather overly futuristic, proposal for a next generation Camaro.

Take a Back Seat and Enjoy the SEMA Hoonigan Drift Party


Static presentations aside, visitors at this year's SEMA aftermarket show also enjoyed, how should we say, a few extracurricular special events, which took place just across the street of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

One of those events was the Global Rally Cross held at a makeshift racetrack that you can watch in the second video after the break, but that's not the real reason why we're telling you this.

New 2013 Chevrolet Camaro Hot Wheels Edition is One Toy You Can Drive Back Home [w/Video]


As they say, men are just boys who haven't grown up, and what man doesn't have fond memories of Hot Wheels cars from his childhood years? With this in mind and after toying around with the idea for a few years, General Motors and Mattel joined forces to build the new 2013 Camaro Hot Wheels Edition, which we first told you about over the weekend.

“Millions of us grew up playing with Hot Wheels,” said Chris Perry, vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “Offering a special production model of the Camaro Hot Wheels is an opportunity to bring those memories to life, for kids of all ages.”

The production model follows last year's concept and it will make its debut at this week's 2012 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, before it goes on sale in the first quarter of 2013 for a limited production run.

“It’s been nearly 20 years since I started designing cars for Hot Wheels and I have yet to drive one home,” said Felix Holst, vice president of creative for the Mattel Wheels Division. “Personally, I can’t wait to open the doors and see the Hot Wheels Camaro sitting in the garage.”

GM to Launch Real Life Hot Wheels Edition of 2013 Chevrolet Camaro at SEMA Show


It's no secret that the idea of turning a Hot Wheels toy car into a real life production model had been brewing in the heads of officials from General Motors and Mattel for quite some time, with the two companies even presenting a real-life Camaro Hot Wheels concept study at the 2011 SEMA show.

GM and Mattel have now finally materialized their dream and will be presenting a limited production run model at the 2012 edition of the annual aftermarket extravaganza in Las Vegas that opens on Tuesday, October 30.

The Hot Wheels-badged 2013 Chevy Camaro will be available as both a coupe and a convertible with either a 3.6-liter V6 or a 6.2-liter V8 engine, complete with a bespoke exclusive kinetic blue metallic exterior paint accented by red Hot Wheels flame logos inside and out, and special Hot Wheels-style rims.

Chevrolet Camaro Bumblebee Transmogrifies Into a Stretch Limo [w/Videos]


Messing about with Chevrolet's Camaro is nothing new or uncommon, but turning a fifth generation model into a party house on wheels for desperate housewives and hooting teenagers, is something you don't get to see very often, which is why this limousine caught our attention.

Made for a company named ShowTime limos, based in the city of Perth in Western Australia, the stretched model is built on the Camaro Transformers Special Edition in SS guise, which means it's powered by GM's 6.2-liter V8 engine that offers up to 426 horsepower.

Recalled 2010 Camaro Burns Down, Owner Asks GM to Help Him Finance a New ZL1


Back in May of 2009, General Motors issued the first ever recall for its then new, fifth generation Camaro that was sold as a 2010 model, only a few weeks after launch.

The recall affected 1,243 Camaro SS coupes equipped with a V8 engine because of a short-circuit risk that could lead to a fire. The culprit was a positive battery cable that could rub against the starter motor housing causing wear on the cable insulation.

In all recall cases, the automaker directly or through one of its dealers, contacts owners of the affected models to inform them about the problem and how and when it will be fixed (which is stated in GM's Recall Bulletin that you can find below).
