A Chevrolet Camaro made in conjunction with the toy car manufacturer Hot Wheels has been launched at the SEMA tuning show in Las Vegas.

It's the first time that a car developed in conjunction with Hot Wheels has been made available to the public.

The Hot Wheels Camaro gets a new front grille from the Camaro ZL1, along with 21-inch alloy wheels with red detailing, a rear spoiler and a host of Hot Wheels badges. On the inside, the leather seats feature red stitching and embroidered Hot Wheels logos.

The Hot Wheels Camaro is available as both an SS and an LT model. The former comes with a 6.2-litre V8 mated to either a manual or an automatic gearbox. Power figures are 426bhp for the manual and 400bhp for the self-shifter. The LT model, on the other hand, gets a 3.6-litre V6 developing 323bhp.

The Hot Wheels Camaro is available in both coupe and convertible bodystyles, and will cost around £4,000 more than the standard car.

The Camaro Hot Wheels edition is expected to go on sale in the US next year, and will be available to order in Europe from next month.
