CHEVROLET TO OFFER A LIMITED NUMBER OF 2010 CAMARO INDY 500 PACE CAR REPLICAS

By GM Canada - For the first time since 1993, Chevrolet will build and sell a replica of a Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.

The Chevrolet Camaro has a longstanding connection to motorsports, including legendary races like the Indianapolis 500. We wanted to build a vehicle that would honour this historic partnership and appeal to the true motorsport enthusiast," said Marc Comeau, Vice President, Chevrolet Marketing in Canada. "We believe we've done just that with the Oshawa-built Chevy Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Limited Edition."

This limited edition replica includes all the features found on a top-of-the-line regular production Camaro SS, but adds some additional features unique to the actual pace car to be driven by Robin Roberts, anchor of "Good Morning America", during this year's Indianapolis 500.

Based on a Camaro 2SS model with an RS appearance package, the replica includes the following content:

  • 20-inch polished aluminum wheels
  • Full body White Pearl decal rally stripes
  • Inferno Orange heritage front grille
  • Inferno Orange engine cover
  • Premium floor mats with accent colors
  • 2010 Indianapolis 500 event logo decal on both doors and embroidered on driver and passenger headrests
  • 2010 Indianapolis 500 event logo badges on front fenders

Up to 45 pace car replicas will be made available in Canada through the top-selling Camaro dealers based on 2009 retail sales. The manufacturer suggested retail price of the replica package is $7,065.

The 2010 Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car Replica Limited Edition marks the fourth time Chevrolet has offered a Camaro pace car replica. Chevrolet also offered replicas of the pace cars in 1969, 1982 and 1993.
